Limit 1/2 innings to a max # of runs

[pilotmd]

In our little league 1/2 innings consists of 3 outs or 5 runs, whichever comes first. We play a maximum of 6 innings with unlimited runs in that inning. Is there an easy way to end a 1/2 inning after 5 runs are scored (because teams often score the 5 runs) or could you add this to your "honey due" list for future versions?

Thanks!

Are you asking about setting a predefined run limit in place of using Misc > End Inning ?

To end the 1/2 inning you can press Misc: end inning, it will move you to the bottom half of the inning or next inning whichever applies.

I can't speak for pilotmd, but this was something that was part of our rules in LL when my son was younger. The problem with using Misc > End Inning is the situation where there are four runs in, bases loaded, and the kid hits a triple. If you give the kid credit for the triple (as you would want to), you now have seven runs scored, when by rule only five can be scored in the inning. Pilotmd, I think the answer (in the particular situation I posted) is, in addition to pressing Misc > End Inning, you need to advance the first runner Home > Safe > Advanced by Batter, then the remaining runners are also advanced that way BUT you need to hit "Run Not Scored" for each of them, and THEN hit Misc > End Inning. This is the only way I know to keep your stats clean and credit kids for what they actually did without scoring runs that are not allowed to count, by rule.

Echo the posts...

The MISC > END INNING and
HOME SAFE RUN NOT SCORED button,

will hanld this type of situation.

To throw a wrench in the scoring. If you have bases loaded (4 runs in / 5 run limit) it does not matter what they hit (unless it is an over-fence home-run) you can only credit a single and 1 RBI. This would be similar to a walk-off hit with the game tied. Unless the batter hits a home-run, it does not matter where it is hit, or how hard. Once the final run of the game/inning crosses the plate no additional runs may score and no additional bases or RBI may be awarded.

want to clarify for anyone reading ...

.. there is a difference between what 'leage rules' require and what 'iScore is capable of ..they are not one and the same, and you as a scorer may have to now both...

. .Also want to call out a limitation in current iScore capability in how it handles home runs, in a max runs/inning youth league.


Thunder's post is about "League Rules" (in this case MLB ) not an iscore capability restriction....

in the decribed situation. (4 runs in / 5 run limit) . iScore would allow you to give them a single, double, triple HR .. what ever you choose. (or what ever your league allows). You have to decide if your league calls it a single only (like MLB or not). iScore will also ask you "what happend to each runner", and you can choose if all or some of the runs get to count. the league may have a rule that says, only the 5th run counts, but not the 6th, 7th, 8th - iScore can handle that. Or the league may say, like in MLB, on a walk off hit, only the winning run counts except in home run when batter/runner gets to also score. - iscore can handle that league rule -

but that said, iScore currently can not accomadate a home run that scores less than all base runners and batter. So in the above scenerio (4 runs in / 5 run limit) and bater gets a home run, and your league says on a home run, you only get to count up to max (ie 1 run). IScore has an challange, currently (becasue of its MLB roots) it credits all base runners and batter (both home run and in the park) like MLB rules would dictate, but some youth leagues would not.. iScore does not currently give you the option to not count some runs in that situation. sorry.

This has been called out as an enhancement option/preference idea for future..

You can actually do the last item mentioned (have some runners on base not score during a home run), the sequence is just a little different than most scoring. For the runs on a home run that you do not want to count, PRIOR to doing the In-Play, Home Run entry, touch the lead runners that should not count as scored runs, touch Safe, Home, Run Not Scored for each. Then enter your home run (which allows the remaining runners to score and count as a run).

great tip. Had never thought of that. I gladly stand corrected

(now if i can just get some home runs to implement that next weekend)

(also does being wrong help qualify me for ump school ? -- sorry bryan, could not resist)

Ran into this today. Bases loaded, 3 runs, with a 5 run limit. My son (!!) hits a home run. It would ever be so easier to have a "5 run limit" option. I know how to fanagle it in iscore, but it's cumbersome.
