Swaping Home <-->Visitor prior to game start?

Many times, we know who we are playing in a tournament, prior to the day of the games. However, we don't know who is home or visitor until the coin flip at the start of the game. This would also apply when a scheduled home game is rescheduled to be a road game.

Is there a way to flip or swap the home and visitor just prior to the start of the game? Or do I have to wait until I hit 'Play,' effectively starting the game - and then swap the line ups? The latter seems too post-event driven, instead of changing it pre-event.

When you press Play from the Game Info screen the first time (prior to game start), it goes to the Lineups screen. From there, if you press Options, there is a "Swap Home and Visitor" option.

Yes, you are correct. However, from the Game Manager screen, the title of the game (in yellow text) still shows the game as it was initially entered and not as the revised (or swapped) game title.

you are correct, the default game title (date, team x at team y) does not automatically change after (home away) swap teams. (the place in line score does, but not the title).

You have to manually edit that from the game info screen. (tap the title and edit). yes this is a known item on the developers list (since version 2, if my memory serves me correctly, since when title editing became available) just not sure it has ever made a priority list to try and automate.

I work in an automated world where developing and implementing this stuff is great for the users who interact with it the most. I'm def all for feedback to improve where we are today - no matter what the tool is! :D
