Hi,
Sorry if this is a repeated question, but is there a process for me to jump to a specific inning to start scoring. Then be able to go back and 'catch up' in between innings?
Example:
I arrive at the game and its bottom 2nd inning. I have all the lineup from both sides. I have 'end innings', and 'skip batter' to arrive at the current AtBat and start recording accordingly. In between innings, I'd like to go back to the start of the game, and fill in what I missed.
Thanks,
Johnny

Re: How to score when you're late to the game?
This happened to me the other day. I could not figure it out either. So I sat next to my favorite scorekeeper and used his book to catch up to the current inning. It was quite painful.
I don't think there is an easy solution to this that I am aware of. FTM?

Re: How to score when you're late to the game?
We do not currently have a way to pick up scoring from the middle of the game. The suggestion from brentwalker of catching up from another's scorebook is the best way to go. We are looking for ways to improve this in the future. Thank you.
Re: How to score when you're late to the game?
This is my number one request for a change. With several kids playing on multiple teams, I arrive late on many occasions. Sitting next to the official scorekeeper, helps with the basics, but they do not capture the data with enough detail. PLEASE...add the feature where we can jump in late, and then back fill between innings.
My second requested feature is that I can set up the defensive positions by inning before the game. Our league rules require that the kids move around to different positions almost every inning during the game, and keeping track of who makes what outs would be extremely helpful.

Re: How to score when you're late to the game?
We have plans for both of these things, but it will take a little time. With the pre-planned innings, it would be a default as things could obviously change as the game goes on, but we do want to allow coaches to plan ahead.
