Complex play "assistant"
Posted: Tue May 12, 2015 8:32 pm
I've been thinking about this for a while. I know that really complex plays (multiple rundowns, non-standard DPs, etc.) are difficult if not impossible for iScore to handle correctly in terms of assigning the assists and putouts. I also know we can edit these in the stats, but if it's not clear which fielders were assigned what it can be time consuming to make that edit. I thought it might be useful to have some option to get iScore to tell you what assists and putouts were assigned for any given play. You could select the play to edit in play-by-play, and in addition to listing the individual components of the play/notes/game adjustments it has some text saying who was given the putouts and assists (and how many of each, since under some circumstances a player could get multiple assists or putouts on a double/triple play). The user could use the notes to record what really happened and use those to go back and edit.
I'd certainly consider that low priority, but I thought I'd mention to see if anyone else thought that might be helpful.
