Players

Three levels

A player can be kept in up to three places: your roster, a tournament and a category.

• Roster: Players in the account menu. Everyone you have ever entered, for every tournament.

• Tournament: the players tab in its header. Who takes part in this tournament. Rating and date of birth are copied when a player is added.

• Category: Manage the players. Who plays in this competition.

Adding players

In a category, Add players searches the tournament and your roster at once.

• Click a name to add the player. Someone from the roster joins the tournament as well.

• Type a name nobody has yet, and the search offers to create the player. Create and add to category enters them in the category, the tournament and your roster.

• The tournament's players page does the same without a category, with Create and add to tournament.

• In the roster, Add player and then Create add someone to the roster only.

Adding by rule

With a rule, the search shows only who fits, such as every player up to 14.

• Filter opens the rules: age, rating and gender.

• Within a rule, everything has to match. Add a rule adds a second one; then either is enough.

• Show matching players, then add them one at a time, or a whole group with Add all 2.

• Only who you pick is added.

Duplicate players

Creating someone whose first and last name are already in your roster stops at Is this someone you already have?

• Same name and date of birth: almost certainly the same person.

• Same name, different date of birth: probably someone else.

• A date of birth missing: no way to tell.

• Add the existing player instead, or confirm that it's someone new.

Editing and removing

Every level has Edit and a way to take someone out.

• Remove all players empties a category or a tournament. Drawn phases become undrawn, and their results are deleted.
