PLEASE TRY TO ENTER YOUR PLAYER RESULTS AS SOON AS YOU CAN AFTER THE MATCH. PLEASE MAKE SURE THAT YOU ENTER THE INFORMATION EXACTLY AS IT IS SHOWN ON THE SCORE SHEET. ONLY THEN WILL IT APPEAR ON THE RESULTS PAGE.

I THINK EVERYONE AGREES THAT IT IS BRILLIANT NOW BECAUSE YOU CAN SEE NOT ONLY HOW OTHER TEAMS FINISHED UP BUT ALSO WHICH OF THEIR PLAYERS SEEM TO BE ON FORM ETC. I KNOW THAT MANY OF YOU USE THAT AS A GUIDE TO CURRENT FORM AND AS A USEFUL AID TO TEAM SELECTION. BUT THIS SYSTEM IS ONLY POSSIBLE IF EVERYONE ENTERS THE INFORMATION FROM THEIR MATCH SCORE SHEET ACCURATELY. IF YOU MAKE A MISTAKE AND THEREFORE YOUR ENTRY IS NOT THE SAME AS THE OTHER CAPTAINS THEN THE PLAYER INFO CANNOT BE POSTED ON THE RESULTS PAGE OF THE SITE. IT IS ONLY FAIR THEN THAT IF YOUR ERRROR IS THE ONE CAUSING THE INFORMATION TO BE UNAVAILABLE THEN YOU SHOULD BE PENALISED. HOWEVER, ACCEPTING THAT ANYONE CAN MAKE A MISTAKE, YOU DO HAVE AN EXTRA DAY TO CHECK THE RESULTS PAGE ON THE SITE AND ENSURE THAT YOUR PLAYER RESULTS HAVE BEEN POSTED. IF THEY ARE NOT THERE THEN EITHER YOU OR THE OTHER CAPTAIN HAS MADE A MISTAKE. LOG IN AND TAKE ANOTHER LOOK AT YOUR ENTRY AND CHECK THAT ALL NAMES, HANDICAPS AND SCORES ARE CORRECT. IF YOU DISCOVER AN ERROR AND CORRECT IT IN TIME THEN THERE IS NO PENALTY. THE DEADLINE FOR YOUR PLAYERS SCORES TO BE POSTED CORRECTLY IE SHOWING ON THE RESULTS PAGE IS MIDNIGHT SUNDAY.

IT IS NOT SUFFICIENT TO PUT YOUR PLAYERS SCORES IN AND FORGET ABOUT THEM - YOU MUST DOUBLE CHECK THAT THEY ARE POSTED CORRECTLY.

I HATE HAVING TO DEDUCT POINTS FROM TEAMS, BUT I AM AFRAID IT IS A SAD FACT, PROVEN TO ME TIME AND TIME AGAIN, THAT WITHOUT THE THREAT OF POINTS DEDUCTION SOME TEAMS WOULD SLAP THEIR RESULTS IN ANY OLD HOW OR IN SOME CASES NOT EVEN PUT THEM IN AT ALL.

A FEW EXTRA NOTES FOR THOSE WHO ARE NEW TO ENTERING RESULTS:

Just a little extra info for anyone who is fairly new to the result reporting system (or a bit rusty from last time!!) Firstly the most important thing is that you do need the password, there is just one password for each club, if you don't know it you will need to email or ring the League Sec. Secondly you do NOT use log in on the main menu. You need to click 'club log-in' which you will find right at the top of the page in lower case letters. From there it is straight forward, just make sure you have picked the correct team from the drop down menu ie A-Tue 1st division then scroll down till you find this weeks fixture and click 'add result', then simply make sure you put the correct match score in the boxes. Then, the boxes below are laid out like the new score sheets, click on the the first larger box and you will get a drop down list of players who are eligible to play on that night. Select the correct player name and then go down to the second box etc. Do the same on the other side for all 6 boxes until you then have 12 player names entered. Then add the handicaps for all 12 players and finally scores for each player. Double check all the information you have entered before clicking on 'save'.

The system for result entering works like this: once both captains have entered the result it then appears on the results page and at the same time the table is updated to show the changes the result has made. If only one captain has entered the result it will remain hidden until the other captain also enters the same result, only then will the result be displayed on the general results section and be reflected in the table. If, however, the two captains enter a different result it gets flagged up to me when I log in, as a disputed score. I then investigate to see who has made an error. If you have been asked to enter the score of your match but when you come to enter it you are unsure of the final score, you are better to enter it anyway and then if its wrong I will sort it out. If you delay and then miss the deadline the site will deduct points from your total when you finally enter the result.

If anyone has any questions about it please feel free to email me. As I'm sure you will appreciate it is important that the information submitted by both captains is exactly the same, please ensure that the two score sheets tally before leaving the match. Also, when you have entered your results go to the Results page and see if its been posted there. If its not then that probably means that the other team have not yet entered theirs. Check again the following day, if in any doubt then log back in and check over your entry again ensuring you have all details in right.  that of entering the wrong name!!

AS MENTIONED PREVIOUSLY, CAN ALL CAPTAINS ENSURE THAT THEY HAVE ARRANGED FOR A 'BACK-UP' PERSON TO INPUT THEIR SCORE SHOULD THEY OR THEIR USUAL PERSON BE ABSENT OR HAVE PC OR PERSONAL PROBLEMS THAT PREVENT THEM GETTING ONLINE TO INPUT YOUR MATCH SCORE
