First let me say I love,love love this app!!
Not sure if this could work or if feasible. My granddaughter plays fast pitch softball and the app works great except when it comes to pitching and keeping accurate stats with our rule additions for her age group. In her division right now our rules are the player/girl pitcher can only walk one batter per inning. So, if she throws 4 balls to another batter a coach pitcher comes in and the batter has 2 chances to hit the ball. Even when using the book I never track what the coach pitcher throws, only what the girl pitcher throws, to keep her balls and strike stats accuratley.
Well, now since I have my iScore and love it so much I still want to use it so I do not count the 4th ball she throws to the batters, I track it separately and make the changes when we email the stats. The bigger problem seems to be in the strike count, going by the same instance as above but when the girl strikes out. For instance the pitcher may throw 4 straight balls and no strikes and the coach pitcher comes in and the batter strikes out, so now I have to record strikes that the girl pitcher does not actually throw to get the "K".
Anyway just wanted to throw that out there and see what your thoughts are.
Thank you so much for this app, I love it soooooo much!!

Re: Girls Fast Pitch Recreation League 10U
one possibility for "coach pitch" is to create a defensive only player called "coach". Now you can switch to that pitcher whenever the coach is pitching, and the balls/strikes/strikeouts will be associated with the coach when necessary. You still won't be able to get around 4 balls=walk, but just don't mark the 4th ball in that case.

you are so very clever, great idea!! Thanks for such a very fast response. Now I can't wait for the next game to try it out.
Take care,
