Add EP as a Lineup Option

Post by RIOT Coach » Thu Oct 24, 2013 1:23 pm

Can you please add a lineup designation for "EP" (Extra Player). Various softball sanctioning bodies allow 1 or 2 EP's to be in the lineup in addition to the DP and Flex. EP's are batters in the lineup but do not start in a defensive position. They can be freely substituted in and out of any defensive positions during the game. EP's differ from DP's in that they are not "married" to a Flex Player.

You can already do this. Just set the player to have Batting = YES with no defensive position. The player will bat but not have a defensive position, and is free to sub in/out in any defensive position at any time.

yes this has been suggested before. to provide EP and EH choices, in addition to DH. .
(functionally EP DH and EH are all exactly the same in iscore)

the reason for adding EH or EP is purely aesthetics, so when one prints out a line up or reads the fine print on the scorecard or sees the batter come up in iScorecast they you the acronym they are used to ...be it DH EP EH etc .

iscore does not force paring (DH to Pitcher ) so you can use DH for EP or EH - function the same.
