Why Re-Enter Player Profile's?

Player Profiles

	Why do I have to re-enter the Player Profiles for each Tournament?

There are actually two database Tables one for the Player Profiles and another (mirror) separate table for the College Coach Search Engine.
When you enter your Player Profiles for each tournament, they are also copied (upon creation) into the College Coach Search Engine database table. Each time you edit a Player's profile for the current event, the program must find that players mirror profile in the College Coach search table and edit it as well.
So in order to edit a Players Profile in the mirror table, then the program search's the College Coach Search Engine and finds that record by Player Name then Team Name and finally by current Event (Tournament).
Therefore before the next Tournament starts (and after this one begins) we must empty the profiles for the last event (Team Profiles Database Table Only) in order to setup the next new events profiles for the College Coach Search (When you create the new profile it again copies itself with the new Rising Stars event into the College Coach Search Engine), which is the most important reason for the Tournaments in the first place.
This is necessary because some events have a Player on more than one Team and because we want to keep historical data by Team and Player for all the Rising Stars Events that the Player has attended. If we allowed you to keep a Players profile and just change the event attended then all players would look like they have only been in one event to the College Coaches who search in their database table.

I hope this makes sense for you!
