b) If the player is not recognised by the system you will not be able to add them to the scorecard.  If this happens and you want to add a new player to the team, you will need to contact the admin. Email them on leicestershiresquash@gmail.com

c) Player boxes are in order of string. Top box is first string, below it is second, third, fourth and fifth string in order. It is important that you put in the players in correct order of merit.

d) If you have a regular team, you can use the Previous line-ups link to fill in a regular team.  Once this is done, you can still edit the scorecard to change players.

e) You can partially fill out scorecards and save them to the database and come back later.  For example, you can add in all the team members prior to the match and print out the scorecard.  After the match you can fill out the scores.  This is a useful feature if you want to put in a likely team line-up and for your team members and opposition to view that team.  You can change the team line up at any time.  You can also fill out your oppositions’ team.

h) Note that -no player- and -bank player- have special meaning w.r.t scoring. You can use the button "()" on each player input to switch between normal and bank mode. Bank mode is signified by an orange background or by parenthesis around player name on b&w print version.

7) Add Scores and Approve

You need to fill in the match and game scores. Once you have filled out a scorecard and you are happy with the contents, you can Approve it by clicking on the Approve button. The system will recognise you as the captain of the appropriate team and note that you have checked and approved the players and scores.

Points to note:

a) Any player on the ranking list can fill out the scorecard and save the changes, but only captains can approve the results.

b) Captains or admin can approve the scorecard, by clicking the "approve" button. The scorecard will show who has approved it or not.

c) When both team captains or admin have approved the scores then the database and various league and player ranking tables will update appropriately.

d) If a scorecard has been incorrectly filled in or there is some dispute with the scorecard, then the captain disputing the card should not validate it. Contact the opposing team captain and work out what the issue is. Either team captain can update the scorecard to fix the error.

e) If a scorecard is validated by one team captain and the opposing team captain makes a change then the validation is reset and the modified scorecard must be reapproved by the other captain.

f) If both captains have validated a scorecard and they then recognise there is an error, please contact the administrator. You can email them on leicestershiresquash@gmail.com
