I used iScore for co-rec slow-pitch softball games in my area. We are required to have our lineups alternate male/female. If a male batter gets a base on balls, he gets two bases (ie ends up on second base). The female batter following him has the option to either automatically walk (to first base) or to hit. Regardless of what she chooses, the male batter gets two bases. This rule is designed to prevent teams from intentionally walking male batters and only pitching to the female batters. A lot of the leagues in my area use this rule.

Right now I don't really have a good way to score this in iScore. The best I've thought to do is have the guy walk, and then have all of the baserunners steal a base. A balk doesn't work because of the situation where you start out with a runner on third base and no runner on second. A balk would score the runner on third, but they wouldn't score when the male batter walks.

Anyway, I was wondering if iScore could add this as an enhancement. Have it be an option in the game options screen. Of course, I guess this would require iScore to know which batters are male/female -- although I'd be happy if I just had a way to issue a "double walk" if you will, where the batter goes to second base, advancing any runners as appropriate. I don't mind making sure that I only apply this to male batters.

Please let me know your thoughts on this possible enhancement -- or if there is a better way to do this under the current system.

We have had requests for co-ed rules in the past, and we do have it on our list for future enhancements, but there are many challenges involved that have kept this in the "a lot of work for a much smaller audience" group of enhancements. When we get through all of our top priority items that address the largest segments of users, we will being adding more features for the smaller groups as well.

The way you have found (using Steal) is a fine option for slow pitch softball since steals aren't allowed anyway --- you would know that stat means the players were involved in a "two base walk" scenario.

So in summary, we do have this on our list (as well as the alternating boy/girl lineups), but it is not currently at the top.

Okie dokie. Thanks a lot for the response, and keep up the great work!
