When the "Advanced" option is selected during name entry the following panel appears in the lower left hand corner of the screen.
It consists of two parts.
Name search file
When players surnames are entered, the CARDS program will search a masterfile for the player. Depending on the Masterfiles available, you have the choice of three. The club masterfile is the normal choice, and is typically available.
The National masterfile is a complete list of all the players in the national database. This is only available in countries where this file is has been installed. In Australia this is the ABF file.
Player number type
When you enter the players number, the number type selected here is used to determine which number is used. The national number indicates the use of the national number and any check digit checks. The club number is the local player member's number on the local club database.
Where the "enter pairings numbers" is selected (see below) the player number type selected here is used to indicate the number shown for the players in all the pairs.
