New Players on LMS

 

Geoff Brown seeks help in limiting his workload as it is affected by identifying new players and adding them to the League Management System and has sent out the following e-mail.

 

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
