I wonder if there is a system that is applied when selecting the lineup for a match?
When I picked the team this Monday for the Zombie match, I picked all Zombies and then the Ghosts who signed up first (DCG and Albert).
Now that we have 30 members we need to have some system that works and is fair.
My suggestion is that we use the database connected with the availability page. Is it possible just to get a the number of matches played for each member (squad wise) in a list, starting at a certain date (as of now)? If it is that would make it much easier (for me at least) when selecting the team I think.
I understand that we still put the best lineup if it is an important match.
What do you think?
I set up a player log for zombies ...just for my own use...i could post it to you now and again with the updates..and TL too..

I think that all the info is in the database that OB uses for the availability page. I think OB easily could make page that extracts the info of interest. It is also updated automatically when a new match result is put in. Less work for us all.
OB :roll:
OB's work is imminent.

Until such time can I remind you all that the availability is shown in alphabetical order - not in 'who was first' order. I changed this on the new version as under the old system if a member was first to a fixture and pressed 'unavailable' they would automatically become the first in 'available' if they subsequently changed their mind (hope that makes sense).
As for picking teams - remember that we only pick a team based on skill for cup/league matches. The ED and CB matches should be spread around the whole squad without favour (with at least one SL/2IC of course).

I know that. But I kept track of "my" match for just that reason. ;)

Ok. So the SLs should keep track of who plays or not themselves.
JAS ... TL and I will need that list. Maybe I could put it as a webpage for us.
As was said not a moment ago, OB's work will track this info for us and if we put the scores into availability properly afterwards then all of the players will be tracked anyway.......?

Yes and no. The individual stats don't show how many matches you played only the total of frags you have collected and your K : D ratio. It would be nice with a "matches played" figure on that sheet. That was what I was looking for when I started this post. As of now only OB and the data base knows ... :D
I'll say again - and for the last time!
When OB rolls out his spinky new tracker, it will show who played where and when. We are not talking baout the stuff you see now, we are talking about a new, improved and brighter whiter version.
Hold your horses peeps, Oldie will make it so.

Parking ponys outside saloon :sombrero: :beer:
/aside All I have to pray for now is that I didn't misunderstand Oldie and what his wizard new system will do..... :?

It shall be so ... but at the moment I can't say when :(
My time is fairly limited at the moment and not likely to improve in the near future. I'll apologise in advance to FatBob and Gandy as they may find their SL around less then usual and as such will will be shouldering the responsibility of leadership more than was first envisaged.
Consider it a 'career development opportunity'. :D
Tracker - The data you guys supply on the results page is enough for the tracker to do it's thing.
For every match we know who was available, who played and what squad was involved. It shouldn't be too hard to produce a report showing who's due a game and, as such, should be picked.
Of course, this all asumes we're actually going to have a problem. We may well find that there's around the right number of eligible squad members available for each match. We increased the clan membership to 30 because of availability shortcomings after all.
