Question: How do I find the global unique identifier (guid) for a rink in the RinkAtlas database?

Answer: The easiest way to find a single guid with RinkAtlas is to:

1. find the rink using the search function,
2. copy the link from the graphic on the toolbar. The resulting URL will be of the format:

http://www.rinkatlas.com/?guid=nnnn&source=linkto

3. pick the number (shown as four bold n characters) out of the guid parameter. The guid may is one to four digits long.
