Box score

Post by Afjb » Mon Apr 23, 2012 4:00 pm

I love the box score addition to the email. It really looks good. I do have one request regarding it -- can you set it up so that each team's info is below their respective box score? For example, if you look at a box score in the paper (yes, people still do that) or online, stats such as errors, doubles, etc., are listed by player underneath the respective team's portion of the box score instead of all together. So, the visitor's info would be on the left below the main portion of the box score and the home would be to the right.

I hope that makes sense.

We have actually followed the most common box score format that newspapers print. This format is more compact than having each team in their own column which newspapers like more. We will add your request to our enhancement list, but we did a lot of research before finally adopting the format we did.

Ok, thanks. It's not a crucial change, I think most are just used to the newspaper type format.

Maybe a slight change would make things clearer. When I generate my info lines for display, I put the team short name in front of the players and group by team. Here's an example of a game between the Kansas City Royals (KCR) and the Minnesota Twins (MIN):

2B: KCR: John Wathan (#6, #7)
3B: KCR: Pat Sheridan (#3)
HR: KCR: George Brett (#5) MIN: Kent Hrbek (#15)
RBI: KCR: George Brett (#15, #16), Pat Sheridan (#22, #23) MIN: Kent Hrbek (#33, #34), Darrell Brown (#8), Kirby Puckett (#11)
SF: KCR: George Brett (#2), Pat Sheridan (#1) MIN: Kirby Puckett (#4)

So maybe if the team has a short name you could consider adding it in front of the list, and then grouping the players by team. I think you may already be grouping by team from what I have seen.

I would agree with that as well. Many box scores use a short team name and I think that would be more than sufficient.

The box score on the admin website and team website has the stats grouped under each team. You can use that one if you like. The one that gets emailed is optimized for newspaper format.

I just logged in to the admin site and noticed that. Looks fine. Is there a way to have cumulative stats shown on the admin website? For instance, I would like to choose a player from the roster and see what their stats are so far. I'm sure there is a way to do that but I couldn't find it. Thanks very much.

We do not show stats on the Admin Website. Stats are available from the device itself or from the optional Team Websites.

Ok, thanks for the quick response. Exporting to a PC is perfect anyway.
