The DP/Flex is a softball rule that replaces the DH rule in Baseball. This can be set either using our Starting Lineups feature or from within scorekeeping mode. Please take a look at the Starting Lineups support article for help adding the positions before starting the game.
Set a DP/Flex While Scoring a Softball Game
- Open a game from within the GameChanger app.
- Add players to your team's lineup if you have not done so already.
- Tap the player you wish to set as either the DP.
- From within the DP/Flexsection, select DP.
- Once you identify a DP, there will be an option to Assign Flex at the bottom of the Lineup.
- Choose the appropriate player and defensive position for your Flex
Swap the Flex Bat With the DP
Once you reach the DP player within the batting order:
- Go to the My Team tab to view your lineup.
- Select your Flex player from the bottom of the lineup.
- Select Swap with DP beneath the defensive position.
- The Flex player will now be listed in your offensive lineup.
- To reinsert the DP in the offensive lineup, select that player from the lineup.
- Tap Swap with Flex beneath the defensive position.
Notes:
- Upon identifying a Flex player, you must also identify the position in the field that the Flex player is playing.
- If you assign a player from the batting order as the Flex, that player will not be removed from the batting order. To set a Flex player who is not in the batting order, you must first assign a DP, then use the "Assign Flex" button at the bottom of the lineup.
