Foul ball pop out

Post by Ef2255 » Sun Apr 07, 2013 11:28 am

Is there a way to differentiate in a scorebook entry between a Foul ball pop/fly out vs a fair ball pop/fly out in Iscore? Looked in a couple of areas and couldn't find anything. In my manual scorebook for example I use FO for a foul ball out. Any assistance will be greatly appreciated.

There is no distinction other than the hit location. Statistically they are both pop/fly outs.

Agree, no difference.

You could make a note if its important to you.

Thank you both for answering my post!

While I do agree it's statistically the same it would be easier to identify if it had it's own code in the scorebook. Mark's idea was a good one as well but I noticed the note doesn't appear in the scorebook only in the play by play. I also noticed that FO is already used to identify force outs. An X might work though. Such as X2. This way even if it's foul out down the line it would be more distinguishable. Such as X7 or X9. Would work just as well for middle infielders too.

Any additional thoughts on this subject would be greatly appreciated.

On iOS devices, any notes you enter are included on the last page of the scorecard. We will be adding this to the Android version as well in a future update.

I select a catch location in foul territory on these plays. Thc scorecard then shows the catch location on the foul line and not in fair territory.
