How to Edit Past Plays
If the scorekeeper misses a substitution or credits the wrong player with a particular play, you are able to correct that while scoring a game in both the iOS and Android app.
- While scoring the game, tap on the Plays tab (if you've already ended the game you will need to Resume Scoring the game).
- Tap on the play you'd like to edit.
- Select Edit next to the player you'd like to remove or the outcome of the play.
- From the list of available players, choose the replacement.
- Save
Notes on Play Editing
- When you edit the pitcher or another defensive player, that edit will take place for the remainder of the game, or until that player was substituted out.
- Editing an offensive player (batter or runner) will affect one past play only.
- So if you accidentally credited Player A with a double and a run scored instead of Player X, you'll need to edit both the double and the play where Player A scored the run in order to transfer those two stats to Player X.
- Editing offensive players does not impact the current state of the game - only past plays.
- Since the app will only sync while the game is being scored, edits should be made prior to the game being finalized.
- Some players will not appear when editing the participant in a play.
- You cannot select a player who already occupies another role in that play.
- If a runner was removed from the play via a previous edit, that player cannot be added back in as the batter.
- Only certain play outcomes can be edited:
- Error/FC/single
- Ground out/sacrifice bunt
- Wild pitch/passed ball/stolen base
- Double/single + error/2-base error/FC + 2nd on error
- Triple/single + 3rd on error/double + 3rd on error/reached on 3 base error/fielder's choice + 3rd on error
- Inside-the-park-home-run/single + scored on error/double + scored on error/triple + scored on error/scored on 4 base error/fielder's choice + scored on error
