Batting order: Option to bat all players on team

Post by tyrant » Mon Apr 19, 2010 9:35 am

I coach a 6 year old team and every player bats. It does not matter if they are in the field or not.

Could you add an option that allows for this scenario?

Thanks

It's already there, all you have to do is set all the players on your roster to "Batting YES"

It is already there. Just set every player on your lineup to Batting=YES, and all players will come to bat.

If you are doing quick roster for the other team, just count how many kids are in the dugout and put that number in the set up team roster in team manager.

In addition to what danmcc says about quick roster, I've found it helps to add an extra one or two players beyond what you see at the beginning of the game (unless you know rosters are limited to x number of players) so that if a kid shows up late and is added to the end of the roster, you have a spot for him. Just set those to bat=no, and if they show up before you've gotten to the end of the roster, you can just change that to bat=yes if a kid shows up (usually you will get some kind of line-up or indication of how many players are expected to show and when by the start of the game). If a kid isn't expected until mid-game, you can set the extra to bat=yes and just remember to skip batter (without an out recorded) when he comes up, until he arrives.

tyrant - please take note of the plivengood tip. they are spot on.

the big concern is when you are "batting all" once you bat through a line up once, it gets "locked" you can always add/make subs but oncethrough the line up you can not add another batting slot....

you can always reduce the effetcive number of batters, by misc, skip batter, no out.
