Quick Swipe for runners
Posted: Mon Jan 23, 2012 12:39 pm
It would be nice to be able to add some quick swipe choices for runners similar to what is done for outs. It would be great to be able to swipe on a runner and get common choices that most of us use all of the time for runners. For instance, with a runner on first, I could swipe and get the following choices:
Stolen Base - Second
Caught Stealing - Second - 2-4
Caught Stealing - Second - 2-6
Picked Off 1-3
Picked Off 2-3
Pickoff Attempt 1-3
Pickoff Attempt 2-3
If there were multiple runners, iScore would assume they held up. If it was something different, then the traditional entry methods would work fine. There would need to be some logic about what to do when the user swiped a non-lead runner with no open base. (i.e. swiped runner on first when there is a runner on second). Stolen Base would not be an option since there is no place to go (the next base is occupied). Same with the Caught stealing entries.
I think this would save quite a few taps over the course of youth games.
