Fixing outcome scoring errors after the fact ...

[JimD]

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!

Hi JimD -

Thanks for the feedback. We have had all of these requests before, so they are on our list for future enhancements. It helps us prioritize the list to hear them again though, so thank you. The pitch selection / speckle chart enhancements are fairly easy to do --- just takes a little time. Scoring changes that can change the outcome of the game are much more difficult, but we do hope to come up with a solution in a future release.

Thank you.

In fact, it should have been a steel from 2nd to 3rd followed by an error by the 3rd baseman allowing a run home home. In this case it did not change the outcome of the game, but more accurately reflects each player's contribution to the game.[/blockquote][blockquote][/blockquote]

When you recorded this incorrectly, you can immediately use undo, and re-enter the play correctly. The after-game editing can edit the way people got to each base that you entered. So if you entered steal from 2nd to 3rd, then another steal from 3rd to home, you would have been able to change each one individually even after the game.
