Left on Base Data Error

Post by THANKS » Tue Aug 28, 2018 7:36 pm

I have used iscore for 7 years and I have never had this error. When I upload the game file from the team site to MaxPreps, the LOB category is completely wrong. It is correct on my scoreboard on the top of my game page and that matches my scorebook in iscore. The number that is uploaded in the data file is not correct. As I look at the data file, that is "category" 19 on the stat upload and that LOB number does not match the scorebook in iscore. In some cases, the LOB is more than that players plate appearances and in some cases where the player was left on base once in the game, the upload number is 3. I have never had this happen before and it seems to be a program error. I just had to complete an override on MaxPreps for each of our 5 games so far and correct each individual player. Please help...

If I understand correctly, internal in score the LOb is correct. It is just what is being sent to max preps that gets garbaged. If so, my guess is max prep changed their data acceptance data definitions as iscore has not changed

No. It is actually wrong in the data file that I save from the iscore team website to upload to MaxPreps. The data file has the wrong numbers for every player in the data file. That is why I am defining it as "category 19." The numbers in the data file for LOB (category 19) do not match up at all to what is in my game stats. It is either in the export to the team website or in the website file download to convert the file for MaxPreps. It is wrong before I ever send it to MaxPreps. I will take a picture of our game tonight and show you the scoresheet from my ipad and I will show you the data file from the iscore team website and show you the difference.

Looks like I can't share the images of the pictures I took to show you because they are coming from my PC. I would like to be able to show you what is happening. I think you will see it from my images. From tonights game, our batter #33 had 3 plate appearances and 2 at bats. She walked(BB) and scored, grounded out, and struck out. Her stats show LOB 4 times. She was LOB zero times. In several of our games over the past 2 weeks we have had 23 and 29 LOB team totals which are obviously completely wrong. 7 innings X 3 LOB if bases were loaded =21. The numbers are really messed up for some reason...

I am using iScore Baseball/Softball. It shows v5.110 in the bottom right corner. Am I missing a possible update? Or is there just some weird corruption happening in the team website file download?

After looking closer at the number that is uploaded from the data file, I see the number it is recording is the number of runners LOB by the batter, NOT the number of times that batter/runner was LOB. Maybe this has always been the number uploaded to MaxPreps? I have never actually looked at the LOB uploaded, I have only looked at what is on my scoreboard during the game to see how many runners we left on at the end of each inning and in the game overall. Our coach was astounded by the high numbers on MaxPreps and brought it to my attention. Maybe it has always been this way??

There are Two LOB stats, LOB and LOBi.

On your device you can enable them in settings .
It also provides the definition
LOBi -(individual).time the player left runners on base
LOB - (team) times the player left on base

It sounds like you are grabbing the LOBi data not LOB

On your paid team web site you can also choose which stats are visible

I do not use max preps, so no help there , except my understanding the extract file for max preps comes from the free admin web site my.iscorecentral.com not your paid team web site
