Within your BLS program, any bowler that has a date of birth to show that they are 13 years old or younger, the data sent to us tells us to mark that bowler data as Private. This is to comply with COPPA. Due to this, instead of the name, the initials will be displayed.
In addition to that, some of your bowlers may not want their name displayed on an internet site. In which case, you can mark their data as private.
To change the date of birth this can be done in BLS2024 or later. However, to mark/unmark a bowler as Private, this must be done in BLS2025 or later only. Please use the following instructions to change the date of birth or mark/unmark a bowler as private:
-
Open your League within BLS. Click Setup --> Edit Any Bowler.
-
Locate the bowler you would like to edit.
-
Change the Date of Birth or check/uncheck "LS.COM Privacy".
-
Checking "LS.COM Privacy" means that only their initials will be displayed on our website. Unchecking it means that the entire name will be displayed, provided the data of birth shows that they are 14 or older.
-
Reupload the current week's standings.
