Downloading NGS by EBU Number

JeremyChild

I have just spent an unhappy and frustrating hour checking NGS grades so I can check pairs eligibility for a nonexpert prize.

It's difficult because I can search by name but it doesn't tell me the EBU Number. How do I know which John Smith or Mary Davies is playing?

Is there any way of simply downloading an NGS list by EBU Number? (obviously excluding those who have set it to private)?

I'm aware it is possible to do something a bit helpful with EBUScore, but a) I can't work out how to, and b) I'm not always using EBUScore (e.g. online).

Put the names and EBU numbers in an EBUScore player database and click 'Set All Player EBU Details' - this will go away and read the current NGS for all players.

You can set stratification by grade to get all non-expert to be less than A strat

Thanks Robin

I tried 'Set All Player EBU Details' - it took a very long time and I had to keep clicking "Cancel This Update" everytime it found a player not on the database.

Even then I don't know how to access the grade.

I don't know what I want the criteria to be until I know what the grade spread of the field is - and I can't do that without having a list of NGS grades.

Also, it doesn't solve the problem of when I'm not using EBUScore.

Why is the list not easily downloadable from EBU.co.uk? There's nothing in it that isn't available elsewhere.

You should click non-interactive to make it faster.

It get the grade by contacting EBU over the internet for each player.

You can see the NGS of each player by going to the Player Database tab, clicking on the player and their details appear on the right.

You can download the database as CSV and read in a spreadsheet to see all the NGS values at once.

I found I needed to do that with the "Print Names" button on Player Names, not the Download PD to csv button in Player Database.
