Re-using data for future seasons

Re-using data for future seasons

This is an option to save you from re-entering team and ground names each season. Once you have opened your data file for this season (eg, 2004), select this option from the Options menu. There are only two things to specify:

Output filename: the name of the data file to use for the next season.
This season: a name for this season. In the example below, the name for the season was 2003.

Not only does this save you a few minutes each year, but you can build up an archive of game results that can be shown on your fixtures pages as a form guide between teams, that displays venues of previous clashes and the scores, for example:

2:10pm Sun 22 Aug	Orange State	v	Old Castle	The Cross
Round 9	Old Castle (73)	lost to	Orange State (88)	The Cross
Round 25, 2003	Old Castle (82)	lost to	Orange State (91)	The Cross
Round 8, 2003	Orange State (73)	lost to	Old Castle (138)	The Cross
Round 18, 2002	Orange State (71)	defeated	Old Castle (70)	The Cross
Round 1, 2002	Old Castle (138)	defeated	Orange State (111)	The Cross

In the above example, the round names are as you specify in the edit rounds window, and the year is what you specify in the This season box in this window. If you decide that you have too many past results listed for your liking, you can set the number of results to display in the league options. Note that any clashes between these two teams that have occurred previously this season will be shown without the year attached, as can be seen in the first result listed.
