For those groups that always play double-on-the-bump, there is now an setting to toggle in the Options to always default the double-on-the-bump setting when a new game is started.

Now when a new player comes to the table to play after you already started a game, you can move existing player positions to open a seat in the correct position for the new player. This keeps the nice ordering of the players on the scoring app that matches how they are seated around the table, and then keeps scoring easier!

Now when selecting the New Game option, the player names from the previous game will be defaulted as the player names in the new game (except when choosing the New Game option that deletes all history). Several buttons at the bottom of the screen were moved up a little.

This app has been updated by Apple to display the Apple Watch app icon. The option to email files of standings or hands history was added in the options pages, and text showing a hands counter was added on the main scoring page. Also, for those situations where a picker and partner get no tricked, an option has been added which allows the partner to also have to pay or not pay. And remember from the recently released previous iOS 11 compatible version, history from previous games can optionally be saved such that totals and standings by player name can be seen over many games. For those groups that add doublers for future hands, a counter has been added to keep track of how many hand scores ahead should be doublers. Also, the doubler or score multiplier has been changed to keep doubling the multiplier by just pressing the button, or the scorekeeper can edit the multiplier number to any value. New as well is that a leaster win can be split between two winners as long as the winning pool is equally divisible by 2. Thank you for using the Sheepshead Scorer.

Now if the stakes of a hand are more than double, you can use the DOUBLER button to change the stakes factor to x3, x4, x8, or x16 as well. The change in score for the Picker and Partner is shown below the SCORE HAND button so you can be sure that you scored it right before hitting the SCORE HAND button. You can find the hand details for each hand in the HANDS HISTORY page by just clicking on the hand number. The hand details default to the last hand played when you go into the HANDS HISTORY. The GO BACK ONE HAND can now be used to erase as many previous hands as you like. Thanks for using the Sheepshead Scorer app so you can now enjoy the game even more (and let others have fun scoring)!!!

Four-handed can now be scored with a separate Picker and Partner if desired. Upon clicking the "New Game" button, options for clearing player names & scores or just scores can be chosen. The player standings are now in descending winning percentage order. Thanks for purchasing The Sheepshead Scorer, and have fun letting all the players score hands!!
