There are about 160,000 names in the database. Some 30,000 players have active ratings.
The search looks for last name first; if you wish to search for a first name as well enter
it after the surname with a comma separating them, e.g. Smith, John. It is not necessary
to type the last part of the name in full; simply entering Smit would find all the Smiths,
but also Smithers and Smithson, while entering Smith, J would limit the Smiths found to
Jack, Jacob, John &c.
Note alternative searches by first name and similar sounding names exist on the header to
this screen. Another point to note is that searches default to rated players, but alternatives
by unrated or by "All" are available.
Click on a player's name or ECF Code to see their Profile and History.

matching clubs. Clicking on the entry for any club in the list will bring up a list of
players associated with that club. If the search returns only a single club the system
will automatically switch immediately to this view.
