I am not sure i am tracking with your follow up question..

On my.iscorecentral.com > import tab ...
The sample csv (file) and legend (button) are intended to be aligned. And represent the fields iscore will recognize.

Another issue I have just discovered. Somehow I have an import on the admin/team website side of the server that I can’t see the listed game “import”, however the stats are shown on the team website. I have tried an export on my device and it still shows up in stats. I’ve tried import on my device and no new games “imports” come across. So now my issue is I’ve got a import stuck in limbo on the server side that I can’t see in the games list on either side but is contributing to stats. Uggghhh! Luckily this is only two games into the season but kinda thinking I should have stuck with gc at this point.

Probably league settings..


On your mobile device... go to league manager and turn on the special ALL LEAGUE to reveal all data on your device. Then go to game manager and your import game should be there.. the date may put it at end of list or perhaps hiding in the middle based on dates

alright so after going to maintenance and optimizing it appears the import in limbo was cleared up. now the question is does anyone have a ready to use template to convert Game Changer stats over to Iscore. Ive google searched but have been unsuccessful in finding a template.

I have also found that Iscore auto populates some stats off of other criteria. I was looking for the pitch count command ie. pit_total or pit_pit. For whatever reason the legend doesn't include this but it does seem to calculate this field off of strikes and balls thrown.

I created a reuseable GC conversion template a few years back with a user and posted excerpts in following post viewtopic.php?f=3&t=11420&start=10#p46522. I have not updated that conversion template for the most current versions of GC and iscore. If no one else responds, and you still need help, perhaps we could connect off forum by email and see if i can help.

to be clear the more basic stats will transfer 1:1. but when you get down to some of the more specialized stats.. you will not have 100% 1:1 conversion and have some gaps.. each program maintains some specialized stats when you score in that program that would not transfer to the other.

Excerpt from the Prior post
viewtopic.php?f=3&t=11420&start=10#p46522
GC Conversion Template (excerpt)
( Column labels are iscore text specific but order is game changer specific. Players in Rows)

jersey, last_name, first_name, bat_games, bat_pa, REMOVE(AB), REMOVE(H), bat_1b, bat_2b, bat_3b, bat_hr ...

....
the complete source data and conversion template is much longer of course, this was just an excerpt for illustration of the process
As i noted in the thread, you need to decode and match the fields, and it is not perfect 1:1. and yes - there are number of stats that are 'calculated' in score (not imported) like you found for total pitches, another example is AB which you would not import from GC as iscore calculates it based on elements it imports.
note: to prepare this conversion template , I not only had to decode, match and reorder the iscore field names to match source data sequence, but I also added a special REMOVE placeholder for any source data columns that iscore does not want - example , Hits and AB (because iscore calculates vs imports). I also removed iscore stats the source data does not provide (example bat_seq, bat_bunt_singles) .

So, if I read this correctly, the first three columns are a good way to create a team roster (I'm looking to use iScore when I'm not on official scoring duty, and the prospect of entering players one at a time was the impediment)...
