Position designations

[muskokajoe]

These are verry nice. I like how I can change my preferred role by team.

I'm sure captains are already looking forward to making subtle hints to their players. "Handler"? No. "Striker"!

I've never understood D- and O-line designations in Ultimate. It would suck to be a D-line handler if your team's D was inept. If you play on Goat, and most points only include one possession, then fine, but in my world, a point can include so many possession changes that we often don't even remember who pulled.

Aaanyway, what I really wanted to ask was if we could add (custom?) options, including: "Poacher", "Swiller", "Lane-plugger", "HuckEyes", etc. Just asking.

thanks,

Doug

Yes I agree, would love to be able to change positions.

Perhaps missionary?

Too complicated! This feature is really aimed more at sports like hockey, but I figured it doesn't hurt to have it for Ultimate too... In other sports, you see, it ties into stat tracking, so that it doesn't ask for the number of goals scored by a goalie (though you can enter that if you need to...) or saves by a forward or faceoffs by a defenceman. Allowing you to make up your own position would totally mess with that.
