Adding players

[coachmom]

I just purchased this app to score my daughters fastpitch softball games. I have not used it yet but plan on trying it today.
Can I add the players to the opposing team lineup as they come up to bat by just using their jersey number or must I have their names?
It would make my life easier if I could just use jersey numbers.

Also it appears that when I click on add player to one team it shows the entire list for our team. Is there a way to separate the player list so that each list only shows players on their own team?

The suggested way of doing this is to create a "fake" team for the opponent before the game starts, and you can put in "player 1", "player 2", "player 3" or whatever for the names. As the players come up, you can edit their names/numbers in the lineup. (Or only number if you want... you can just leave the names as player 1, player 2, etc).

When create a roster in Team Manager, it will always show all players in the system. Once you have a team created, when you are doing substitutions, it only shows the players on that team.

Make sure you watch the YouTube videos before scoring... you will be glad you did.

Thanks I will watch those videos.
This seems like a great program.

I was wondering if in the future you may be adding some preferences that are geared towards fastpitch softball.
ie... games are 7 innings so ERA calculation would be different, there is no balk but illegal pitch in fastpitch to name a few.

Yes, we will be adding more softball specific features in the future. The things you mentioned, and also the DP/Flex rule. We have Designated Hitter, but DP/Flex is just different enough that it needs another interface.

Thank you.
