Is there a way to put the opponent's logo as a photo?

For iscorecasts, I like the way the player photos pop up as icons for the viewers. I have a baseball mugshot for each of our high school team's players entered for our roster. Unfortunately, this isn't possible when entering our opponents' rosters. When I have time, I like to go through our opponent's entire roster and add their school mascot logo as a photo replacement. I just think it looks nice for our viewers following a live iscorecast.

Is there a way to speed up this process? It would be really nice if this could be done in one step. In other words, have a single step that allows the mascot/logo to be inserted for any players on a roster that do not have a photo. (and you may have this in place already and I just haven't figured it out yet)

Thanks in advance.

There is not a "one step" way of assigning the same picture to an entire team, but we do like the idea of using the Team Logo (which can be set in the Admin Website for each team) as a placeholder for players that don't have photos. We will look into doing this.

Maybe the option could be placed on the Team Manager screen. That would allow us to insert a team mascot logo in one location and that logo could be the placeholder (if entered) for a photo instead of the player silhouette.

What do you think?

We have a place to enter the team logo from the Admin Website already. We will look into making this the default photo for iScorecasts when individual player photos are not supplied.

Great idea. I like it.

What is the intended purpose of that logo on the adin website? I don't believe it currently goes anywhere beyond the admin site, correct? Was their a future plan to use this in the app or iscorecast?

Yes, we do plan on using it in the future.

It seems this topic has been out there for 3 years. I spent a couple hours uploading logos for our league and from what I see there is no use for them on either the PC site or on the iPad for scorekeeping. What am I missing? I don't understand the point of having a logo if it can't be displayed anywhere other than the admin website?

We have only allowed uploading of logos for a couple of months now (not sure where the 3 years comment is coming from). We plan to have more ways to use them in upcoming enhancements.
