SuperSnooper Questions and Answers
Recording player events usig Gregorian dates didn’t seem to make much sense so we decided to use the convention that we would record events in terms of seasons and sessions. So a typical KickAbout season is comprised of sixteen sessions. So if a player was picked for an International squad in 20/03 then what this means is that the event occurred on session #3 on season #20.
SuperSnooper will examine all international squads, rep squads, auction results and transfer deals. These are the files that contain a player’s details.Once SuperSnooper knows a player’s details then he will keep an eye on this player. SuperSnooper wll record any events that affect that player. He will also check and update the player’s stats whenever the player gets picked for a squad or gets transferred.
No, you can also tell SuperSnooper about players. If you scout players or discover a player’s details by another means then you can manually add a player into SuperSnooper’s database. Once you have done this SuperSnooper will watch out for these players as well.
An event is anything that happens to a player. These include…
- A player scores a goal
- A player is booked
- A player is sent-off
- A player is injured
- A player is selected for an International squad
- A player is selected for a rep squad
- The player is transferred
Each event is recorded. SuperSnooper records the date when the event happens which allows you to determine whether the player is still current and active.
SuperSnooper only records events for players that he has discovered (ie those players who he knows details for). The reason for this is that there is little point in recording events unless you have some details about the player. in addition, SuperSnooper could be recording details for different players with the same name.
Ultimately, the fate of every player is to be sold to non-league. Unfortunately SuperSnooper does noy know when a player has been sold to non-league.
So the only way that you can judge when a player has been sold to non-league is when you stop seeing events about this player. We have provided a tool to purge players who have had no recent events.
