how to score this

Post by paulnsj01 » Tue Jul 28, 2009 7:10 am

not sure how to score this:

bases loaded two outs. Batter grounds out to SS.The play is at second for the third out 6-4. Heres where i run into a problem.

i score the batter as safe at first fielders choice.

how do i handle the runners on base?

i want to show the runner on first was forced out at second 6-4...i havent figured out a way to show this.

i scored the runner on third as safe-held up
same thing with runner on second safe -held up

i want the scoresheet to accurately show the runner on first was forced out for out three as 6-4
can you help me with this?

When Iscore asked "what happened to the runner on first?" switch to the "out" side and mark the runner as forced out. I think that should do it.

That's the way I've scored it. Runners on 2nd and 3rd held up and runner on fiirst Out - Forced.

I just simulated this and I think that this exposes a flaw in the logic of iScore (by the version I am using is v1.65.08).

In this example, runners should be moving and upon hitting the ball runners advance. The SS decides to throw to 2nd instead of 1st making it a fielders choice. Runners are being "advanced by the batter" not "held up". The runner on 3rd base crosses the plate and the runner on 2nd rounds third base, in general. However, given this is a force out at 2nd no runs score.

The app actually indicates when looking at the scorecard and the run tally board that the runner on 3rd scored a run when that should not be the case. It is a logic error within the app, IMHO. No runs crossing the plate in this case should score due to the force at all bases.

Just my 2 cents worth.

With version 1.65, you have to hold the runner on 3rd to prevent him from scoring in this scenario. This is documented elsewhere on the forum as well. With version 2.0 (awaiting Apple's approval), there is a new option to mark the runner as not scoring.
