    I thought of something: does this count as him having played a single game that is both a loss and a win? Or as playing in two games?

    Some poor soul is going to try to do data validation and figure out that the number of wins plus the number of losses does not equal the number of games played, and it’s 100% legit.

      My 2 cents of logic is that the first part would only apply to its individual scores and stats, not the team ones: the second part of the match will determine the winning team, nothing was decided in the first part, so no win/lose condition can apply to its previous half-match, and when the victory was defined he got a defined team…

      Okay, I’m really curious how this will work officially. I’m one of those nerds who think it’s kinda neat that you can watch an entire baseball game in an Excel spreadsheet.

      Is there any interest in a FOSS baseball/softball scorebook that can calculate stuff for you? Might be a fun project.
