Immediate help for a Gamechanger rookie?

[RubberBiscuit]

First indoor tourny of the year!
Got the new tablet and loaded with Gamechanger.
Found myself struggling to get the International tie-breaker feature working.
Any hints?
I tap second base and 'nothin'........

We are in a timed tourny and we are seeing the international tie-breaker before the end of the 6th. Is that the limitation?

When you tap 2B, you should get the option to select a player to start on that base. If you wish to put the scheduled batter on base, tap 'pitch', then scroll to the bottom and select 'put on base'.

OK - Maybe this tool is not used as much as I thought it might be,........ but "users beware"!

It's too early to make any conclusions on the tool BUT if you think you are a "good enough" user going into your first tourney,....think again!

I am not that dumb of a dude but I got all wrapped around the axel with:
1. International Tie-Breakers
2. Inserting lineups on the fly
3. Substitutions

GameChanger new users = PRACTICE THESE FEATURES before going live!

Hey MD - thanks for the response!
Ya I tried that per the video that suggest it too but tapping 2B does nothing on my machine.
Is there a special mode or setting that needs to be made?

My biggest problem with the app is that it
continually crashes during line-up changes.
It is loaded with the features I like, and is easy to use,
problem is, I can't use it because the crashes make
me want to reach for my red solo cup only to find
in a moment of despair that the cup is not there

2 years ago I tried GameChanger and Iscore. I scored a couple of college games that I had recorded just to get the hang of the programs and decide which one I liked better... I went with Iscore because it never crashed once, GameChanger crashed a couple of times.

A couple of months ago DD's team played a double header so I decided to try GameChanger on one game and Iscore on the other. GameChanger crashed in the second inning because of a lineup change, I was never able to recover from the crash. Iscore performed flawlessly for 7 innings, including 1 batter being put in the lineup twice in a row and multiple other fielding/lineup changes.

In an email exchange with GameChanger, they admit that Iscore has a better user interface and said that they are currently upgrading theirs. They offered to let me use the software with the team upgrade ($150 value) for the spring high school season but after struggling with it for just 1 game I have decided to stay with Iscore for now.

All good input.

Ya I had a bunch of crashes with line-up changes too.

I am going to buy iScore and check it out before HS season starts. It's inexpensice compared to the cost of my nerves when GameChanger crashes or when I have to hard-edit all the mistakes after the game on-line.

I would miss the cute "Headline maker" in GameChanger though......

LOL onthe Red Solo cup JV !!!
