System: League Information Form: This form is where you put default information for your League and is used throughout the program in both Forms and Reports.
League Name and Address are self explanatory and is used on most if not all reports. Current Year is also used on reports making it easy to update in one place each year. Reg. Date is the default date used in the Player and Season information form, again making it easy to change it on the day you take registrations. Current Season is the default Season you are working with in the Player and Season information form. Examples of Seasons would be: 05S which would be the 2005 Summer season. 05A would be the 2005 All Star season. 05F would indicate the 2005 Fall Season and so forth. Reg. Fee is the Registration Fee default value used on the Player and Season information form and in the calculation on the Registration Form report. Age cut off date is used in calculating League Age on forms and reports. For example, in Babe Ruth League regulations the League Age is calculated on the Players Date of Birth before or after August 1st of the current year. This enables forms and reports to properly calculate a players age from year to year. Insurance information is used on some reports. Previous League and School district are used as defaults for the Players form. Again, this form is used as a convient one stop location to keep basic data about your league up to date, allowing you to use the same forms and reports year after year. Also keep in mind that even when data is entered here it can be changed as you enter data on forms and is used to make data entry faster with fewer errors but is not hard coded into the program so the user can change it as necessary.
Players and Season: Player and Season information on a single form. Player basic information is always displayed on the top half of the form. In this example the Season information is displayed on the bottom half of the form.
There are two fields on the form that are Read Only and cannot be changed and are for display purposes only. The Pk in the upper left hand corner displays the Primary Key of the Players table and is automatically generated by the program. League Age is displayed in the upper right hand corner of the form and is displayed when a new record is saved. League Age is calculated by the program using the Age Cut Off Date in the League Information table and the Player’s Date of Birth. Most Leagues have very specific rules as to the Age of players in Divisions and so this calculation is done automatically on both Data Forms and Reports within the program. Players and Payments: Player and Payments on the same form. Again, the Player information is always shown on the top half of the form, and in this example the Payments tab has been selected to show Payment information on the bottom half of the same form.
The Ppk in the first column of the Payments display is taken from the Players table and automatically placed in the Payments table linking the information in both tables to the proper Player and cannot be changed. The Type field must be CH, CA, or MO as shown in the popup when an invalid entry is made. The Calendar Popup is displayed when you click on the button to the right of a date field or when an invalid date is entered. A full description of the Calendar Popup is found later in this manual.
The Medical Consent field allows only a Y or N to indicate that a Consent Form is on file for the Player. This is included as some Leagues require the form be on file for all players.
Managers and Coaches: is used to track information on Managers and Coaches in your league..
Manager and Coach identification selection:
Finding information is quick and easy Using the List dialog if an entry of “b” were made in the Last Name field, LEAGUE CHAMP would display the grid below. It doesn’t matter if you type “B” or “b” as the search is not case sensitive making it easy to find what your looking for.
Tabbing to the First Name column and typing ‘r’ jumps to the first name starting with an R. If we continue to type ‘y’ you automatically jump to the firsts entry that starts with ‘Ry’ making it easy to find information in the program. Each column in the list form can also be alphabatized and ordered on any column by clicking on the header. In the example below we clicked on Last and the table is ordered by Last Name. Clicking on the Column header for First sorts the list by First Name as show in the next example. Any column can be sorted by simply clicking on it as shown when we click on Pk. Clicking on the same column a second time sorts in the ascending rather than descending order.
Reports are run from the Report Manager
