 * Hi, when i create a new event and user player v player.
 * You get a dropdown for players instead of teams, which is great, however, the
   list is alphabetical and once you have selected to names, no matter in which 
   order you choose them, it corrects them into alphabetical order. This is a problem
   as it always selects the first name as the “home” player and the second name 
   as “away” player. so this is not ideal.
 * The other problem is, with all away games, we will not know who this is until
   the day, is there a way or being able to add a name manually, other than having
   to create a new player all the time (this is no good), otherwise a box score 
   is not available to add a score?
 * Thanks
 * Scot

 * Hi Scot!
 * Since the first part of your question is in another ticket I’ll leave it there
 * As for the away games, unfortunately, you need to add a player or a team in your
   events so they’ll work properly. What you can do is to create a placeholder team
   or player (such as “To be announced”) and replace it with the correct one when
   you are ready.
 * Thanks!
 * Kind Regards,

 * Hi Roch
 * Although the first part is mentioned in another ticket, this affects how this
   worls too, so its a different problem. No matter which order I select the players,
   it always displays the names in alphabeticl once in the box, so no matter who
   I want as the home player, it selects the person ascending as the home player,
   even though they might not be.
 * I have had to create 2 placeholder names, A-opponent and Z-opponent, so depending
   on which opponent is home or away, I have to select A for Home and Z for away,
   so it places the name in the correct order (alphabetical) for the system to know.
   This seems silly, it should just place the names in order as they are added (
   selected). I will not be able to replace it after as this may then change the
   order (home/away) of the names and also, might not see that person again.
 * So for the time being this gets around the problem.
 * Thanks

 * Hi Scot
 * That’s a great idea actually!
 * You can change the players to be ordered by their jersey number, but this solution
   should work just fine for you.
 * Thanks!
