Courtesy Runner - enhancement request
Posted: Sun Jan 15, 2012 11:25 am
I've been using iScore to score FP Softball for the past 5 seasons. I love it.
One area that always seems to create panic for me is when a Courtesy Runner is called for . . . for instance . . . our catcher draws a "walk" to load the bases with 2 outs. Our Coach calls out for a Courtesy Runner for our catcher - immediately he turns to me and wants to know who should go in. I have to think - are we playing - "Last recorded out" OR "Last batted out" rules. I go to the "Courtesy Runner" screen and it shows a list of the entire roster . . . then I go back to the "Play by Play" screen printout (luckily I'm using an iPad) and try to determine who should be used as the Courtesy Runner. The coach "asks" again, WHO IS IT??? I confidently (yeah, ha) yell out the player number.
What I'd really like to see - when I go to the "Courtesy Runner" screen, is it indicates who was the "last recorded out" and/or who made the "last batted out". A printed comment next to the appropriate player(s) would be a nice addition to this screen.
Don't know if this is a large request in programming but . . . it would be appreciated.
Thanks.
