I've pointed out what I think is a minor problem in the otherwise excellent Billiard Buddy scoring app and discussed it with the programmer. I post the issue here to make sure I'm right before the programmer goes to any trouble to change it.
Let's say I run 3 racks after the opening safety. I've just scored 42 points and am looking at a break shot. I shoot the break shot and scratch. What is my run? Is it 42 or 41? The 41 is the total for the inning because a point is deducted for the scratch. Billiard Buddy calls this a run of 41, and it becomes my high run for the game if I don't do better later.
I say the run should be recorded as 42, not 41. In programming terms I'm telling the programmer that if an inning ends in a foul the run arising from that inning should be the inning score plus 1.
What say you?
