Hi everyone
I trust you're all
getting to grips with the new season. The first few matches were
played last week but this week sees a good few more.
I wanted to let you
know my preferred way for dealing with new players on LMS. (If you're
not already submitting your own match results on LMS and would like to be
able to do so, then drop me a line and I'll show you how to set it
up). Ideally you would send me details of any new player, by email
(with a copy to the divisional secretary), well in advance of that player's
first match for your club. You should include the player's full name
and any previous rating information, e.g. ECF ID or membership number, FIDE
ID, previous clubs, indeed anything that's going to help me to identify the
right person. If it is truly impossible to tell me about your new
player prior to the match, then I expect an email immediately
afterwards. I shouldn't have to check the system for any new players
and then have to chase you for further details. I had to do that four
times last week and I really don't have the time.
I hope you'll all
understand where I'm coming from and that you'll try to help me with this
in future.
Best wishes
