RostaMan College Football FAQ
Version 3.0 is here!
Which teams' rosters are included?
All 120 Division 1-A (Football Bowl Subdivision) teams are included in the app.
When I click on one of the away or home teams it says "No data for away team." Why not?
The team is either not a Division 1-A (FBS) team, or it is a bowl game for which a team has not yet been announced.
There are two players that have the same number on a team. What gives?
As many teams have over 99 players, those teams double up on some numbers. But there can be only one number on offense or defense. You can have a QB and DB share the same number, but not a QB and WR. That's why the player's position has been prominently displayed in the roster view to help distinguish.
Do I need an Internet connection to view rosters?
No. The rosters are embedded in the app allowing you to view them at any time. Updates, however, do require an Internet connection and due to heavy cellular traffic at some stadiums on gameday, it is recommended you make sure you are up to date ahead of time.
How do I receive updates?
By default, "Get Updates at Launch" is enabled in your preferences. This allows for a check of roster and schedule changes each time you open the app. This is an automated process which you will be able to view progress and cancel if desired.
Some updates seem to take a while. Why?
Near the beginning of the season, there are a lot of roster changes, so it may take up to a couple minutes (depending on the speed/generation of your iPhone or iPod touch) to update the entire database when there are thousands of changes.
When are updates released?
While this depends upon when new data is available, updates will typically happen about once per week ahead of the week's slate of scheduled games.
What is Reset Database?
While Rostaman has been tested to prevent problems with your app, and it should generally not be necessary, Reset Database has been added in the event you are experiencing trouble with your app. It will reset to the original database version bundled with the app. Any updates will once again be performed next time the app is launched.
