Athletes: How to remove them

===1. Should you remove the athlete?===
'''If the athlete is not participating in the current season, you should edit them and set them to "not participating".'''

If the Athlete moved to a different school, their two profiles can be merged.  Just send us a feedback with the athlete's name.  You should still set them to Not Participating to keep their results on the site.

Ideally all results would be left on the site for historical purposes.  

You need to be very careful about removing athletes, as all Track and Cross Country data, both present and historical, are tied together. '''If you remove an athlete, all of their results go away'''.

===2. I added an athlete twice.  I have corrected the spelling, how do I remove the second athlete?===
Simply wait 24 hours, and our system will spot the duplicate and merge the profiles, so long as their names are spelled identically.

===3. I don't want to see an athlete's marks for a specific season.===
The best way to handle this is to remove the athlete's marks from each event in each meet they participated in.  This will effectively remove them from the season, while keeping their results for other sports or seasons.

===4. I really want to remove an athlete.===
'''Please only do this if you are positive the athlete does not participate in another sport, as __ALL __of their results for __All__ sports will be removed! '''  
''(Best to check with other coaches first)''
{BR}Blank out their name.  Our system will remove it within 24 hours.
