Home/Away Uniform Numbers?

Currently iScore Baseball doesn't handle a player with a different Away jersey number then their Home number. How can I handle this now and can there be an upgrade to allow two uniform numbers?

You can set the jersey numbers for the lineup of a game, and they will apply to only that lineup. The default will be pulled from the team roster when you create a new game. We have it on our enhancement list to be able to include a home and away jersey number, but it is something that does not come up very often.

Maybe I'm not doing this correctly, but when I go into a game and edit the lineup to change uniform numbers, the change seems to be propagated back to the team roster. So, it doesn't look like I'm able to change for only a specific game.

iOS, v5.108

Thanks.

That is interesting.. .. the program has changed behavior with this regard over time . (I had not noticed and it seems to have happened over a year ago as i tested with both current version 5.108 and 5.020 .. iOS not android)

I can repeat your experience.. when i change a jersey number in the "game line up screen" It is immediately changed to match in the "team roster screen" . This is not how it used to work

A small workaround, if you change the jersey number from the 'substitution screen' ( tap batter/fielder icon and then blue right arrow) it will change on jersey # on screen but not in 'game line up' or 'team roster'


@ suppprt will need to respond to see if this was an intentional change in program behavior

Ah ha!! So I'm *not* going crazy!! I read the original thread and thought that was an OK workaround so started doing it. Then, next game I started scoring that was away vs. home all the numbers were different! Thought I had to be doing something wrong.

Anyway, glad someone else sees it. Would be great to get a fix and/or a home/away jersey feature added.

@ Support,

What do you think about this behavior? Intended or possible issue?

Sorry to nag, but have quite a few home/away games coming up this weekend and next week.

Thx

As a long time deidicated user like you are, i kmow it stinks to have the behavior change but
realistically, i would not expect any program change on something non critical (aka does not crash program) in the short term. As you know, The developers have a long list of function/features enhancements they continually evaluate and have to prioritize across mutiple platforms and product lines and constrained developer time. I would plan to have to live with this for the season..

If you have a whole lot of data entry to do, What may help/be A small possible time saver .. .. remember you can edit rosters on admin web site with some managed export/import practices.

Thanks OhioTex. I totally get the backlog/priority decisions as I'm in the software business myself. Good to know a bit about cycle-time. So, I'll keep working with current app and hope to hear something from support if time permits.

I did not know about the admin site editing. I'll look into that and see if I can figure out some time savers. Any import/export links you can provide would be great. I'll also review the User's Guide.

Thx
