I love the spray chart during the game. We keep them in hard copy on the bench as well as we will keep notes on what hitters tendencies are over the course of the season. If we scout a game, we bring our cards and each hitter on the opponents is scouted. When we play them, we have the cards available. So....I was wonderig if it would be possible for you to create a button that emailed all of the spray charts for a hitter over the course of the season. In other words, if we were playing the Red Sox tomorrow, I could click on team manager for that team and then click, email spray charts. Then in pdf format all of the hitters would have their spray charts (and maybe the pitches for each hit) displayed. As a coach, I could then print them out and bring them to the game. If you play a team 2 or 3 times and scout them 2 or 3 times, you could end up with some good information. I think it would also be helpful to see your own hitters season long spray charts. Possible?

It's funny you are requesting this CoachBob...

I've spent the better part of today putting together my own "Team" spray charts for an opponent we play in our league championship game tomorrow night. It's not been easy as I have been cutting and pasting from the Score Sheet...once you lay it out, however, it's very useful information.

I have grouped the hitter's spray charts by pitcher (also indicating what type pitch the hitter actually hit).

This request could/should be dove-tailed with the enhanced spray chart....as I think most would find it useful information what pitch (by pitch type and location) the hitter put into play or struck out on.

We definitely intend to expand on the spray chart capabilities... both in the app itself, and the reports that can be generated. We are still working through some of the higher priority items (game editing, tie breaker, DP/Flex, courtesy runner, etc), but when we get through these, look for more of the "fun" enhancements that will make the product even more useful.

Thank you.

Addressing some softball rules like the DP/Flex is great but is the subsitution and reentry rules used in softball being addressed as well?

Can you expand on what you mean by the substitution and re-entry rules?

We allow you to make substitutions and allow players to re-enter games with the current release. We are not intending iScore to enforce rules, only allow you to score the games within your rules. If there is something we do not allow you to do, please let us know.

Thank you.

Hitting Spray Chart:

I want to jump in on this. I would love to see this printout as part of the game report similar to the Pitchers scatter charts. Also, as an option for a season or even a group of games defined by a date that a player may have been involved in.

Also, I get how your current scoring system uses 4-3 or 3U for ground ball outs, just the position number for a line out, and F8 or F1 for a fly out, but when it comes to printing the scatter chart these differences would be lost.

Many established conventions are dotted line for ground ball straight line for liner and a curved line for a fly ball... I can recall the play during in-game view, but it would be nice if it showed there as well.

Possible?

Good suggestions for the spray chart.

We had exactly the request you made (dashed lines for ground balls, solid/straight line for line drives, and curved for pop ups) from someone in the forum before (not sure if it was you or another user), but we have that on our list for future enhancements already. Good to get it reenforced.

Thank you.

according to the search utility: sportsdoc on May 4 1st mentioned.

But as I live in the Chicago area, can I get away with "vote early and vote often?"

Always good to hear things again so we can push them up the priority list.

Thanks.
