Fixing outcome scoring errors after the fact ...
Posted: Sun Sep 27, 2009 8:50 am
First things first: Thanks for an excellent product!
I like the play by play edit capability in the App; what I'm asking for is an "offline" play by play editor that can edit outcomes.
As a newbie, keeping up with scoring complex game situations is a bit of a challenge for me; but I'm sure that will ease with time. In scoring a Fastipitch Softball game last night the combination of a complex play and a scoring error on my part ... inadvertently scored a runner that was tagged out at home. This should have been the second out of the inning. I didn't notice there was a problem until later and there were too many events to undo and redo without getting terminally behind in scoring. I had to force an end to the inning to keep scoring on-track.
To rectify the problem after the fact, I'd like to be able to export the game; edit the play by play script to reflect the proper outcome; then use the corrected script (the complete game) as in input to the App to replay the whole (corrected) game.
While I'm at it ...
... let me put in a plug for customized pitch selections (rise, drop, screw) and Pitch Charts (speckle charts) that include type information (color??)
... and a plug for pitch by type stats (balls and strikes by pitch type)
... and a plug for speckle charts by type: only curve, or only fastball ... with strike indicator on the dot (could be an "s" in the dot or a black outline around the dot ...)
Keep up the great work on a fantastic product!
