 * Another question: how would I go about using this for basketball AND football
   recruits? I don’t want to have to have the user sort through them combined – 
   I’d need 2 setups?
 * Thanks!

 * Take a look at this article, it should give you some ideas how that can be done:

 * Thanks for this Roland. The issue I am having is I am not using the signup form
   so I can’t use the example you posted above.
 * My admin and editors will add the participant info from the wp-admin dashboard.
   I needed a way to display the “[pdb_list]” shortcode that’ll only show all Basketball
   players and another that displays only Football players.
 * Is that doable?

 * If the records are getting added in the backend, the result is the same. You 
   don’t need the signup form, you really only need a field that can be used to 
   differentiate the records, then you would use that field to filter the list display.
 * Like for instance a radio button to select the sport in the record when it gets
   entered.

 * So I added a group called “Sport”. Then I added a field with the name “sport_select”.
   I added radio buttons with the options “Basketball” and “Football”.
 * The shortcode I used is [pdb_list filter=”select_sport=basketball”] Is that correct?
