How about totalling number of boys and girls on current roster?

Thanks,

Done!  I needed to edit the athlete editor today so I added the feature while I was at it.  (It is below the current roster)

Thanks for the suggestion.

On the Edit Athlete page theres a link that allows you to synchronize you indoor & outdoor rosters. What about your CC & track rosters? Just a thought.

A time saver for doing 2008 roster: if I could go down the 2007 list and click a toggle on each athlete "add to 2008", then click "update"....

As rosters get longer:  when looking at the list, rather than 2 choices (this year, all years) - could a range be possible (eg 2 years, 3 years)?

and/or

Could another column be added to right that shows the years each athlete has been put on the active roster?

Imagine 10 years down the road a new coach comes and is looking at a list of 200 names - might be useful to see historical connections of athletes.

I assume that these rosters are usually - most often, quite dis-similar, especially with larger teams, so it would provide little time savings, at least after the first season.  Do I assume wrong?

We automatically roll the rosters forward after the completion of each season, though this does not help coaches who are going back and entering past results.

Nice idea, I like it!  This is more than a minor update to the athlete editor, but I will see about adding it in the next time we update the athlete editor system.

Well, to be honest, I hadn't used the indoor/outdoor roster synch, because we don't have a school sanctioned indoor season here in Texas. I was simply thinking that if it was available for indoor track, why not for cross-country too.

As far as your thought about the rosters being dis-similar, that's quite true for most teams, but I would think that most cross-country athletes will also appear on track rosters, it's the reverse that's not as frequent.

As I said the first time, just a thought.

 Gentlemen,

What is the best way to transfer the names of my fall X-C Roster to my spring Track Roster?  I know you have a process of combining duplicate names so I'm not too worried about that, it's just that we had a lot of new runners on this year's X-C team that were not on last years Track team.

Thanks, as always,

Paul Swanson 

Here's the original link for this request. I don't know if there's a way to merge threads, but that may be a good idea in this case.

Easiest way is go to your team, go to Cross country go to athlete list and click on print athlete roster.. Then just copy your roster from the webbrowser screen to clipboard (Cntr C).. Go to your track team, go to athlete list, click on upload roster.. paste the clipboard into the screen (cntr V) and upload the roster.. Walaa.. you have your cross country roster transfered with only a few clicks of the mouse and 2 Cntr strokes. ..

That's a very elegant work-around. I like it.
