Of the 14 thousand plus players on my database there is about 66% of them who we will never know their date of birth, even many active players (especially opposition) would be difficult to trace.
When running the report " Oldest and Youngest Players Reports " this report is showing particularly youngest as 9/10 years old etc.
I was wondering if a player active or non-active does not have a date of birth, rather than showing the default 1 Jan 1900 or in somecases 2005 showing this as "Date of birth - unknown".
Firstly, if they are non-active then they won't show in these reports so inactive players without legitimate DOBs won't matter.
However, what if you are born on 1/1/2005 - with your suggestion, you just won't show on these reports. I don't think excluding dates is the right solution here.
If the player is active then the best idea is to contact them for their DOB.
I will move this over to the questions section for further discussion.
If the default was " unknown " then if they happened to be born on 1/1/1900 or 2005 we could enter that ?
Every player needs a date of birth entry unfortunately. There is no "default unknown" option.
