## IMPORTANT: Format for roster ## IMPORTANT: Format for roster
NEW (July, 2025) In true form, a new column has been added to the roster for MAL. Resolve by removing the Middle Name column. **NEW (December 2025):** MAL are now included in the Local League Membership in Your State.

The CSV file should have all fields quoted to avoid problems when a field contains an extra comma. If the file is not shipped this way, it can easily be corrected in an editor. However, the current regular expression fails if the first column is empty (`/^,/`). Until a better expression is found, the workaround is to replace all `^,/` with `"",` — this can be done in editors such as Visual Studio Code or spreadsheet tools like Calc.
