Hello.

     First let me say that I love your app!  I had the exact idea for this app, including the shake for teams, so I was glad to see it get created.  I do have an important suggestion however.

First, I am a Physical Education teacher and use it almost every day,  but here is a suggestion that would make it even better.

1.  It would be nice if there were a way to combine rosters.  This way, when I combine multiple classes, I could select them from my saved rosters.  And on field day, I could even select All of my rosters.

     Thank you again.

Doug,

      I am glad that you find Team Shake so useful.  This feature has been requested before.  Since I'm seeing multiple requests for this, I am going to look more closely in to implementing this.  I do believe it should be possible.  I really do appreciate the feedback.  Please feel free to offer more suggestions and to ask questions.

     I do see that on your website you mention iPad App's for PE.  If you are looking to post any information about Team Shake, we would be happy to provide you with any additional information that you are looking for.

Thanks,

Hello,
I'm not sure if anyone else is having this problem, but my TS app, does not place an equal number of boys and girls on each team. Of course, I do have the equal boys and girls on, and yes, I have my students marked as boys and girls.
Is anyone else having this problem? I have been using Team Shake a lot less now, as I have to sort by hand anyway. :(

Doug,

      We have recently created fairly detailed help page which explains all the configuration options of Team Shake and many of the common team scenarios.  There is section on Advanced Team Selection, and in the beginning it explains which Configuration Options to use for different scenarios.   Here is a direct link to that section:

http://www.rhine-o.com/iphone-apps/team-shake/team-shake-help#advanced_teams

     I suspect from the description of your problem, it sounds like you have "Balance Male / Female" option enabled AND you also have the "Balance Team Strength" option enabled.  These options are not compatible, and if you have them both enabled, you may not got the expected result.

    Please, check to see if "Balance Team Strengths" is enabled.  If so, disable that and see if your teams are generated as you want.  If you are still having problems, please let us know.  If there is a bug, we do want to fix it.  You can send a backup of Team Shake configuration to sup...@rhine-o.com if you are still having problems, and we can try to reproduce the issue using your exact setup.

Hope this helps!
