Scorekeepers often receive an opposing team's Roster/Lineup only seconds before the first pitch. The GameChanger Classic mobile app provides scorekeepers with a tool to quickly configure a generic lineup, which may then be edited as player information is gathered.
To Add a Quick Lineup
1) Setup the new game.
2) Attempt to throw a pitch before adding a batter to the opposing team's lineup.
3) You will then be notified that there is no assigned batter.
4) Select the option to add Placeholders.
5) Identify the number of placeholders you would like to put into the lineup.
Note: If the opposing team is in the field, you can add placeholders from their Lineup card within the game.

This is a good tip, but there's one thing that trips me up every time. I like to the opponent's roster into the GC website prior to the game. When I go to create the lineup I am only shown each player's first initial and last name (e.g. J. Smith). The problem is that most coaches only write first names on their lineup cards (e.g. John). This makes it very time consuming to ensure I am adding the correct player from the team's roster.
Is there any way to have GameChanger to show first name + last name when entering lineups? Or maybe just the first name?
I am having the same problem...would also like to see my roster by first name and not last name...
I have a related problem - I have a set of triplets on my team so it's really tough to tell them apart.
It's because the age of your team is one that restricts the viewing of their complete name, probably for privacy purposes. To get around the problem you guys are explaining, you can enter their first and last names as their Last name - and then they will always be visible. (to anyone, if that matters...)
