We didn't skip a batter

Post by Jas » Tue Mar 27, 2012 5:21 pm

I had a kid get sick during the game. We removed him from the game (without penalties per our rules), but the score keeper forgot to skip him the next time he came up. Every at bat for the rest of the game is off by one. Is it possible to fix that in post-game editing? If so, how? Or, do I need to undo back to the mistake?

Thanks,

Jas

With a mistake like that (entering many player at bats in the wrong place) you will really want to undo and score from that point forward.

I make it a habit (and I bet your score keeper will now, too) to constantly check the actual batter/base runners against what iScore says. Surprised that you could go multiple times thru the order and not notice that though.

That said, for rescoring the game, print up the play by play and then undo back to the point of the mistake. Or, create a new game, pull up the iscorecast of the bad game AND use the play by play to recreate. Then delete the original game.

The scorekeeper chose to make the player "not batting" from the time the player left the game sick. That removed him from the starting lineup. From that point forward, the scorecard was screwed up (had an empty slot on the bottom with data for an at bat), but the batters that came up were all correct.

I found that I could go back in and repair (edit) the lineup card and fix the scorecard problem, BUT I couldn't edit the skipped batter later in the game.

My scorekeeper is sick about it bc it threw off everyone's stats. We'll get it fixed, we just have to do it the long way.

Is printing the play-by-play difficult? I've never had to do that.

Ahhh, got it.

No problem, can be fixed. Rescoring a game is pretty simple.

Printing play by play from the admin or team website is straight forward. Just select the play by play and print right from your browser or copy/paste to word (or similar).

I would rescore a new game and then delete the old.
