Sub in a player who has batted in another spot in the lineup

Post by stoney_pe » Tue Apr 13, 2010 8:03 am

Two questions:
1. In my son's league, each team bats the entire lineup the first time thru the order. After that, only the 9 players on the field bat and the extra players become regular subs who do not bat until the enter the game as a sub for another player.
So in the beginning they would be the 9th and 10th batter but in the 4th inning they may enter the game as the 1st and 4th batter, for example.
How do I make them subs after their fisr at bat and I told iScore that they were batters, and how do I put them in the game in a different spot after they already batted somewhere else in the order?
2. Our league allows for players to re-enter the game but only in the same place in the batting order. Is that possible with iScore?
Thanks

Reposting parts of response to the email you sent as well just so others can benefit if they have the same question...

The defensive substitutions are not a problem. A defensive sub can be made at any time by touching a fielder position in the scoring screen.

In order to make the offense work you will have to add an extra dummy player who has Batting=No to the starting lineup. The other 11 will have Batting=Yes. The first time through everything will work normally. After the first time through you will have to skip the 10th and 11th batters by touching the Misc button, selecting skip batter and selecting "Does not count as an out". Having the 12th dummy player is what will allow you to make offensive substitutions in the scoring screen. Just touch the batter icon in the scoring screen to bring up the sub screen and make your changes there. Do not try to change the starting lineup to make substitutions.
