Until now the app let you score a game between two local players, or between you and another Straight Pool Deluxe user. 6.2 removes the last restriction: a registered SPD user can be a player in a game you score, with you in neither seat. League operators and anyone keeping score for a friend’s match can enter it once, on one iPad.
What the players see depends on whether they are already connected to you. A player you are connected to gets the game on their next sync, exactly as games between the two of you always have. A player you are not connected to gets a request in Settings → Requests: “Game: P1 vs P2”, with Accept and Decline. When they accept, the game is added to their history under Your Games, with their win or loss and the note that you scored it. When they decline, nothing is added, and you are told why if they gave a reason.
Accepting a game you scored does not connect the two of you. Connection is a separate request, and it stays that way.
Every card in Requests now leads with who it is from. Each line has a title, “Opponent request” or “Game against you” or “Game: P1 vs P2”, with the detail under it and a plain Accept button. Opponent requests carry a person glyph and games a checkered flag, so the two are easy to tell apart at a glance.
When someone has both asked to connect and scored games naming you, accepting the connection also delivers those games. The app now says so before it does it, “Also Accept 3 Games?”, so you can decline any you do not want first. The confirmation tells you how many were added.
A game you played in belongs under Your Games whoever scored it. 6.2 files it there, with the W/L badge and your score, and hiding it stays hidden across syncs. Previous versions put these games under Scored Games, and an iPad still on 6.1.2 or earlier will keep doing that until it updates; the game moves to Your Games on update, nothing is lost.
