"Take it from Here" Feature

Post by baystatebaseball » Tue Jul 13, 2010 11:38 am

This requested feature only works when we have a pretty substantial post-game editor.

For a whole variety of reasons, it's sometimes necessary to score a game from some point other than the first pitch:

- You arrive to the game late
- Your iPad shuts down from overheating, and you either have to start late or have a scoring gap in the middle of the game
- You encounter some kind of scoring bug that requires that you pick up at some point other than what iScore thinks the current situation is

Right now, if you miss the first half-inning, or have a gap mid-game, you pretty much have to shut down and stop scoring, or crib from the paper scorebook keeper.

I'd like to request a "take it from here" feature. You are presented with a screen that asks for the current situation:

- Inning
- Men on base
- Outs
- Score (if you know it)
- Current pitch count

You then start scoring from that point, and iScore keeps track of all information.

Later (with the amazing new data editor), you can go back and fill in the missing information, and iScore will reconcile this into a proper game.

Even before the release of the data editor, it would be useful if there were a mode in iScore to just record what you see, so you can later reconstruct that into a game manually.

Thanks FTM!

Great suggestion. This happens all the time when you start scoring an inning late.
