A few questions
Posted: Tue Jun 12, 2012 10:11 am
I had a few questions regarding the baseball iScore app.
1. How do you record an error on a dropped foul pop up (where there is an error recorded, but no outs or base runner advancement, and the batter remains at the plate)?
2. When scoring on multiple devices and using data sharing, how do you handle things like trades (or any roster moves)? Do the roster changes need to be made manually on each device? Will simply importing games from the other device also import the roster changes?
3. What is the difference between the "Held Up" and "Advnced by batter" options on the safe results menu? When is the appropriate time to use each? For example, if a runner is on first base, and the batter hits a single with the runner advancing to second, is there a difference between saying the runner is safe at second, help up vs saying he is safe at second, advanced by batter?
4. This is a broader question, but is there any way to read game files from the admin website via a custom written application? Is there a web service or any other mechanism for this? I am a bit of a developer, and I was wanting to create a custom web app for my sim-baseball league that tracks our team rosters and contracts (salary, etc) and things like that - all tracked in my own database. I was hoping to be able to also read the game log files directly from the admin website so that I could simply to a data sharing export after each game and my custom application would always be able to display the up to date cumulative stats. I knwo I can work around this by simply emailing the game logs somewhere and writing my custom app to pull from the mailbox, but it seems liek it would be smoother to do it right from the admin website if it can be done.
Thanks.
