Enhancements
A new option has been added for the clubs participating in the CARDS ratings. This addresses the need for clubs to be able to cater for rated players playing at your club for the first time. To use this feature download a CARDS file available on the web at
http://www.asecomputing.com/Uploads/cards.cds. This file contains the rating information for all participating players. It will be updated each month.
The new option is found in the members screen [F9] and is only available when your club's database is open and contains ratings for your current members. Use [File][New ratings DB] to create a database, calling it "cards" with a ratings club name of "cards" too. You then load the cards.cds file mentioned above and have downloaded earlier.
Then re-open your existing members database as usual. Whenever you use the "add player" option [F2] make sure the "other club file" is ticked in the "Surname and player no. search file" option.
Note if the file shown is not the cards.gdb you have just created enter that as the "other club file" (use [...] button).
When you search for a person by name the list will show all the players with the name entered. Choose the required player and their current ratings are also added to your masterfile together with their name, bridgename and national player number.
