Game Time Options
Posted: Thu Aug 18, 2011 9:21 am
Most youth football leagues in Colorado use # of plays to determine a game instead of time...any chance of adding that option? Any work around suggestions in the meantime?
I am sure the rules vary from league to league and it would be impossible for you to define "a play" that works for everyone so, maybe it would be best to have a play counter button that keeps a tally on the screen by the score (possibly even instead of the time)? That would allow the user to control whether or not a play is an official play. If the set-up doesn't allow the user to set a specific number of plays for a quarter, we could we manually change the quarter in the "Down Info" window, right?
So you understand what I am dealing with, here is a summary of our rules...
-- # of plays per quarter varies based on age group -- 2nd-4th graders are 20, 5th-6th are 24 plays...older kids go by time
-- point after attempts, or when both sides penalized and any penalties (unless refused by opponent) do not count as plays.
Not really a "Football Fan" or and certainly not a Football Scoring Pro so this season ought to be very interesting! Thanks for developing a program so I can at least give it a try...and maybe even learn to like this game!
