Changing the Shooter

Every roll you log gets attributed to whoever is holding the dice. Craps tables change shooters constantly — the dice pass every time someone sevens out, and sometimes people hand them off early. Getting the shooter right matters most for your own numbers: only the shooter tagged This is Me feeds your personal stats and your live CPL/DICE score, so it's worth knowing exactly how the shooter list works before you're mid-session and the dice are moving fast.

The shooter bar

At the top of the tracking screen you'll see a bar that reads Shooter: followed by the current shooter's name — or Unnamed if no name has been set. If that shooter is tagged as you, a green Me badge sits right next to the name.

Tap the bar and a bottom drawer titled Shooters slides up, with the description "Tap a name to make them the active shooter." This drawer is your control center for everything shooter-related — switching who's active, tagging yourself, adding people to the table, and removing them when they leave.

Marking yourself and switching shooters

At the top of the drawer, an Active shooter section repeats the current shooter's name (or Unnamed) and their Me badge if they have one. Tap the pencil icon here to open Edit shooter name — it only renames the shooter ("Shooter number stays the same"), so editing a name never creates a new shooter or resets their history.

The This is Me button is the one to pay attention to. When you haven't tagged a shooter yet, it just reads This is Me. Tap it once and it becomes ✓ This is Me — tap to unmark. This tag is what tells the app whose rolls are "yours" — everyone else at the table can still be tracked shooter by shooter, but only the one tagged Me rolls into your own personal stats and your live CPL/DICE score. If you forget to tag yourself, the app has no way to know which rolls were yours, so it's worth doing this the moment you sit down.

Below that, Next shooter lets you manually pass the dice to whoever's up next, any time you want — this is separate from the automatic seven-out flow described below. Use it when someone hands off the dice for a reason other than sevening out (stepping away from the table, handing off mid-turn, and so on).

The Select shooter section lists everyone currently at the table. Tap any name and they immediately become the active shooter — there's no confirmation step, so double-check before you tap if you're not sure.

  • Each row also has a small remove button. Tap it on anyone who isn't the current shooter and they're removed from the table right away.
  • Try to remove the currently active shooter and the app stops you: a warning reads "Pick another shooter first — You're about to remove the active shooter ([name]). Choose who's up next:" with buttons for the other eligible shooters (or Add new shooter if there's no one else) plus Cancel. This exists so a session can never end up with no one active.

Finally, Add New Shooter opens a dialog ("They'll become the active shooter right away") with a Shooter name field and a This is Me checkbox ("Track personal shooting stats for this shooter"). If someone in the session already holds the Me tag and you check this box again for a new shooter, the app warns you — "You're already in this session as [existing name]." — and the button changes to Use existing Me instead of creating a duplicate. That's expected behavior, not a bug: the app is stopping you from accidentally tagging yourself twice. Otherwise, shooter names have no length or uniqueness rules — you can even have two shooters at the table sharing the same name.

What happens on a seven-out

The instant a 7 is rolled while a point is standing, the app takes over: a dialog titled Seven-out — select next shooter appears automatically, with the description "Tap to pass the dice, or end the session." You can't dismiss it by tapping outside it or pressing Escape — you have to make a choice before tracking can continue. There's no undo for skipping past an option, so it's worth reading the dialog rather than tapping the first thing you see.

Inside the dialog you'll find:

  • A checkbox reading "[outgoing shooter's name] left the table" — check this only if that person is actually done for the night and leaving the table, not just done with their turn. Checking it removes them from the roster entirely instead of just marking them no-longer-active.
  • If you've already tagged a Me shooter elsewhere (or have a profile name) and you aren't already in the session, a quick Me — [name] button lets you jump in as the next shooter in a single tap.
  • A button for every other eligible shooter already at the table — tap one to hand them the dice.
  • Add New Shooter — an inline text field to bring a new person in as the next shooter.
  • End session — if the table's breaking up, this ends the whole session right from the dialog instead of picking a next shooter.

This dialog is the app's way of guaranteeing the game keeps moving — every seven-out needs an answer before a single new roll can be logged, so treat it as a required stop, not an interruption.
