Softball ScoreTap User Guide
This guide follows the current Softball ScoreTap controls for scoring, lineup management, defense, game completion, and saved-record playback.
1. Quick Start
- Set My Team and Opponent Team names/colors if needed.
- Tap Batting Order ＋ and enter player names separated by commas.
- Use the … menu or drag a player to assign a defensive position.
- Move the red 🥎 marker to show the next batter due up.
- Enter each inning score and use Game Over when the game is finished.
2. Scoring
- There are score boxes for innings 1–7 plus an automatic total.
- On an empty score box, the first tap records 0. Additional taps increase the score by 1.
- Long-press a score box to enter a score manually.
- In innings 5–7, you may enter X when the bottom half is not played.
- When the next top half begins, the previous inning is automatically confirmed and saved into the game history.
⚠ Score Check
Blank earlier innings are shown with ▲ and ▼. Example: 2▼ 3▲ means review the bottom of the 2nd and top of the 3rd. If an inning had no runs, enter 0 so it is not treated as missing.
