players stats

1. Okay, this is the problem. We just added a player to our team who played for a different team last season. This new player played two (2) games against us last season. We played a game on saturday and I exported the scores to the website. When a visitor looks at the stats for this season, this new player appears on our team as expected. However, when the visitor looks at the stats for the last season, the new player's stats for those two (2) games appear as if he played for our team. How can I correct this? I don't want this new player's stats for last season showing as if he played with our team.

2. To add to this, we had a player last season who left our team and he now plays for another team in the current season. When I score a game against this team and export the data, will his stats appear on my website as if he played in our team in this current season?

3. As an enhancement request, the sorting of the players is very annoying in the statistics menu. In our case, we have had players who left our team, and yet, their names appear in the statistics menu. I know if I delete their names, they will not appear in the "current" season. However, the delete player and their stats for previous seasons will not appear. Is there a way to "hide" these non-active players from the current season? If not, is there a way to insure their names are on the bottom and not mixed in the with the current players.

The easy one first... for #3, to get players off of your current Statistics page, you should be able to just remove them from the Team Roster on your device. Only the players on the Team Roster should be appearing on the Team Website.

For #2, it is the same as the answer above. Just remove the player from your Team Roster. This is not the same as deleting the player in Player Manager which would remove him completely. You just want to go to Team Manager, select the team, go to the Roster, and remove the player from there.

For #1, the issue is that we do not keep a "timeline" for players. We actually expect that from season to season you would create a new team. e.g. in high school, each year is really a new team. In rec ball, each season is new teams, etc. In youth sports, the only exception to this would traditionally be Travel Ball where some of the kids stay together from year to year. You can still create new teams in iScore in this case, and historical stats will be kept for the players at the player level. We do not have a way on a "Team Roster" to classify timelines for players though. In each game, players can play on any team and things are fine. But the Team Website is Team Roster driven. So the players you have on your Roster for the Team the website is for will be the ones the stats are displayed for. We will add it to our priority list to try and handle the case where a player used to be on another team, but is now on the team the website is for.

Thank you for your reply. As for number 2 and 3, If I remove the player from the current roster, then his name and statistics will not appear in the leagues he did play in prior to the current season. This is not what I want. Is there a way for players that do not play (as shown in the statistics under games player =0) do default to the bottom of the statistics page and not be mixed in with the other players who have played a game? I know I can click on the games tab and sort by players who have played, but then the statistics would sort by average which is what everyone wants to see.

There is not a way to do this with the Team Websites. The Team Websites are really intended for the "Active" team. If you want to keep a historical team and an active team, the way to do it would be to create a second website with a new team for this year's players. You could create a team like "intl 2011", and leave the old games with intl, and the new games would be for the "intl 2011" team. The Roster for the old team would be all the players that played during that season. The Roster for the new team would be all the players for this season. Then you will not get mixed data between the two.

Historical data for all players is still available on the player cards, even when they are on different teams.

workaround ideas... not perfect, but have you thought about making them "two players", if you have not played games this season yet, Make a new player .. leave two in iscore, do not merge them, you can have Joe Brown (2010), Joe Brown (2011). rename existing joe brown to joe brown (2010) create a new joe brown and put him on this years team rosters. yes it limits their life time stats, some..

Also use leagues on your web site to filter stats. 2010 (all) and 2011 (all) are nice leagues

Thanks. That's what I did.
