I understand how this is worked out (first date played and then last date played) which is the most easiest way to work this out.

My question is whether it is possible to calculate the season they haven't played and get it removed from their overall "Longest Serving Report"?

Examples of what I mean is as follows:

Player 1 - plays 1 game per season 2010 through to 2020 and is rewarded with 10 years of serving.

Player 2 - plays 11 games in 2010 and no games but plays 1 game in 2020 - this player should be getting a longest serving report of 2 years rather than 10 years.

Understand it may be difficult but believe the years served should reflect the seasons played?

Just a thought.
