Outdoor
Softball leagues, handled
Fastpitch and slowpitch, youth and after-work, with the rules that make softball softball.
How the scorecard works
Fastpitch. Tap Run each time a runner crosses home. 7 innings. Run rule: the game ends when a team is ahead by 15 after the 3rd, 10 after the 4th, 8 after the 5th. Extra innings if tied, each starting with a runner on second.
Crowdsourced, if you want it. Anyone connected to either team can keep score from their phone, so a game can have many scorekeepers. Their scorecards are compared, the score most of them agree on wins, and the coaches approve it.
Or play by play, for the fans who want every detail. Record every at-bat: who batted and what happened. Runners, outs, innings and runs add up on their own, with a line score as you go.
Or skip it. Crowdsourcing is never required: a coach can simply enter the final score after the game.
