GotSport TeamName Character String replacementPrintable

Team Names as reported in the GotSport database have a substantial amount of variability.  We strive to create team names that are useful to the referee.  The names should have sufficient information to assist the referee at the field to be able to distinguish between the teams, but not so much or so little information that  the team name becomes unwieldy or ambiguous. 

For example:

  • Some Clubs will name a team "BU12 Red".    For this to be useful to the referee, the club name must be concatenated before the team name.  . 
  • Some Clubs will name their Club the "Johnson County United JCUSC Soccer Club Alliance" and they will name their team the "Johnson County United Soccer Club Alliance Boys Under 12 BU12".   In this case the concatenated team name is cumbersome.
  • Some Clubs will include terms that do not assist the referee in the referee.  Things like "Alliance" and "United".
  • Some Clubs will designate the level of the team with a color.    There could be the "Red" team in the blue uniforms and the "Blue" team in the red uniforms.   And the players might not know that they play for the "Johnson County BU12 Red" team; the players just know that they play for "Johnson County".
  • Some Teams will be named in ALL CAPITAL LETTERS which can be annoying when displayed on the website.

Team Club and Team Names from GotSport are concatenated together and then stripped of repetitive character strings.   Then identified character strings are replaced as noted below.  This process is not perfect, but it is better than seeing 

Johnson County United JCUSC Soccer Club Alliance Johnson County United Soccer Club Alliance Boys Under 12 BU12 

as the team name.
