Cryodex Question

This weekend I am helping run the 3rd small tournament event at my FLGS. We used Cryodex in the first 2 and it worked very well. I do have a question about it though.

When inputting players, you can attach a list URL to each player to log what they are flying. Then you create the tournament and add the players to the event. Cool. Now fast forward a month or so to the next event. You repeat that first part for the new players, but returning ones are already in the system. So you create a new tournament and just add them. But some (or all) of the returning players are flying something else. If I replace their list URL, is the original one lost, or is that data stored in the event and not just the player?

Yes, if the url is replaced then the old url is lost. An unfortunate side effect of not seeing this as a potential use.

One workaround would be to make a copy of the save file. The old save will have all of the old data. The new save file can be manipulated as needed for the new event and you would still have both data sets for historical use.

That’s what I thought. And the copy save file trick is what I did!

thanks!
