    Spotting duplicate players

    I've added a couple of things to help reduce the number of players who appear more than once in the system.

    • If you manually enter the name of a player who is already in the club then it will now spot this and use the existing player instead of adding a new one. This works for retired players too which may come in handy. Mind you, if you have two players in your club with the same name you'd better let me know!
    • If you look at your results history and the system spots there is another player with the same name as you then it will list the 'other' player at the top of the page. They don't have to be in the same club. You can then tell the system whether this is actually the same player or not and I'll follow up manually and merge the two if need be. You don't have to be logged in for this - anyone can help identify duplicate players - but it's only me (or Jeremy) that will make any system changes.

    Hopefully this will help. For some reason we are getting a lot of duplicates this season even though they are appearing in the club pull-down! We need to avoid duplicates - they are players without history!

    One final note... there are a few players who play for different clubs at the same time in the mixed and women's leagues. The system still can't deal with that so these players are not highlighted in their history. I'll continue to merge these at the end of each league.

    Thanks,
