Page 1-4 STARTING FPK ========================================================================== Starting FPK Program -------------------- Boot up your computer as usual until your Hard Drive prompt appears (i.e. C>). FPK is compatible with most Terminate and Stay Resident Programs (TSR's). If you use them and have difficulties Try FPK without TSR's. Type: CD \FPK <Enter> Then type one of the following: Type: FPK <Enter> (non-Demo Mode) Type: FPK DEMO1 <Enter> (Demo Mode #1) Type: FPK DEMO2 <Enter> (Demo Mode #2) Quick Demo Walk Thru -------------------- Demo mode will give you a general overview of features and options of the FPK. Important: This Demo walk thru is not designed to give you an in depth description of the FPK. You should read the manual for complete detailed description of all features and options. The manual is extensive and complete and should provide all the detail needed for a full understanding of the FPK. After loading FPK in Demo mode you should see DEMO MODE on the lower right hand corner of the main menu screen. When you exit the FPK in Demo mode the Demo Data Base File is not saved. Which means you can change any Pool data for getting acquainted if you wish. When results are processed in Demo mode the results will be based on the current status of the Demo data. If you change anything it will be reflected in the result process screens, but the result reports will always be based on the Demo data before any modifications you may have made. There are some function restrictions while in Demo Mode. However, this program has full function and is not restricted in anyway, when not in Demo Mode. DEMO MODE #1 is a NFL Pool with most Pool options in effect. Most of this Demo's screens were used for the illustrations in this manual. There are 15 Players and the Pool reflects the status of the Pool after 16 weeks of the Season have been played. DEMO MODE #2 is a College Pool with most Pool options not in effect. There are 15 Players and the Pool reflects the status of the Pool after 7 weeks of the Season have been played. Page 2-1 The Demo Walk Thru will be performed in Demo Mode #1. When your are finished with Demo #1 you can start Demo #2 if you desire. You will be guided thru 2 procedures. 1. Pool Setup 2. Weekly Pool Processing Cycle Starting FPK Program in Demo Mode #1 ------------------------------------ Boot up your computer as usual until your Hard Drive prompt appears (i.e. C>). FPK is compatible with most Terminate and Stay Resident Programs (TSR's). If you use them and have difficulties Try FPK without TSR's. Type: CD \FPK <Enter> Type: FPK DEMO1 <Enter> (Demo Mode #1) After seeing the initial screen/s you will be prompted for printer setup and then the main menu will appear. We will now simulate initial Pool setup which consists of the following. Pool Setup ---------- 1. Clear & Reset Pool Data 2. Pool Setup 3. Maintain Schedule & Teams 4.

Type <1> <enter> this shows you all data that is stored for each Player. It might look like it would be difficult to enter a Player but all that is required to enter a Player is the Player's name. Entry of all the remaining items on this screen are optional. Press <F10>. Press <ESC> <ESC> you should be looking at the main menu. Type <5> this menu is used to print Player pick sheets.

Press <ESC> <ESC> you should be looking at the main menu. That completes the walk thru for the Pool Setup Procedure. See the next page for the Weekly Pool processing cycle walk thru. Page 2-3 We will now simulate a week's processing cycle which consists of the following steps. Weekly Pool Processing Cycle ---------------------------- 1. Enter Player Picks 2. Enter and Process Results 3. Print Pool Results 4. Restore Pool to Prior Week 5. Maintain Player Records and Lists 6. Maintain Schedule & Teams 7. Print Player Pick Sheets Type <1> from the main menu to see the Enter Player picks Menu. Type <1> to see the enter Player picks screen. Type <1> <enter> this screen is used for entering Player picks. Confidence points (1-14,if used) and selected team (1=away,2=home) are entered (for each game) together for faster entry. At the bottom of the screen you would enter the Monday night points (NFL type Pool) or the Tie Breaker game points (non-NFL type Pool) and specify the options the Player wishes to participate in. Press <F10> <ESC>. Type <2> to display all Players that don't have their picks in for the current week. Step 3 prints a report of Players who don't have their picks in so it can be posted on the bulletin board if desired. Press <ESC>. Type <4> to Print Picks Audit Report.

You can also press <F2> to print the screen for posting on the bulletin board, if you wish. Press <ESC>. Page 2-4 Type <7> to Print Players Pick Matrix. You should be looking at the Print Players Pick Matrix Menu. This Menu prints all Player picks in a spreadsheet type layout. You should print all Players Pick Matrixes that are valid for your printer type. These sample reports will be very helpful to you later when you are deciding which reports you wish to use. You can also post this report on the bulletin board or make copies and distribute to Players before games are played, if you wish. Press <ESC> <ESC> you should be looking at the main menu. Type <2> to see the Enter and Process Results Menu. Type <1> to see the Enter Game Result screen. This is where you enter the game results for each Week. You would enter the winning team for each game (1=away,2=home) and at the bottom of the screen you would enter the Monday night points (NFL type Pool) or the Tie Breaker game points (non-NFL type Pool). Press <F10>. Type <3> to process and print preliminary results. Press <enter> after reviewing the help screen. The prelim results are processed twice. Pass 1 projects Monday's away team as winning then pass 2 projects the home team as winning. Press <enter> for pass 2. These printed reports can be used to post on the bulletin board on Mondays. Press <enter> to complete pass 2. Step 2 performs the same process as step 3 but does not print the prelim reports. Type <4> to process the final results. Press <enter> after reviewing the help screen and the final results will be processed. Press <F10> to proceed to the Print Pool Results Menu. We recommend printing all the result reports for your printer type so you can review them. Type <11> <enter> to print all result reports for your printer type. You are not prompted for print control data, because in Demo Mode defaults are used. These sample reports will be very helpful to you later when you are deciding which reports you wish to use. Press <ESC> you should be looking at the main menu. Step 6 Restore Pool to Prior Week can not be performed in Demo Mode. This step is NOT normally performed each week. It is used for restoring the Pool Data Base File to the identical status it was in, just prior to running the Results for the prior week. If you process Results and then become aware of an error (i.e. not entering the proper results for a game) you would use this step to Restore the Pool Data Base File. You would then correct the error and rerun the Results and reports. This step is Page 2-5 not used often or might never be used but it's convenient to have, if needed. The remaining steps in the Weekly cycle you have already seen during the Pool Setup walk thru. The descriptions below describe when they would normally be used. Maintain Player Records and Lists - Perform this step only if you need to add, change or delete Players. Maintain Schedule & Teams - You would normally perform this step only if you are entering Schedule data on a week to week basis. Print Player Pick Sheets - Perform this step if you are printing and distributing pick sheets on a week to week basis or if you need to print pick sheets for new Players or for Players who lost their pick sheets. This completes a Week's processing cycle walk thru.

Options 1-3 are NOT valid if you are NOT using CONFIDENCE POINTS for your Pool. The following page shows a description of Option 4 format only because Options 1-3 use full printer function that is not available for printing this manual. Note: We suggest that you print all formats that are valid for your **** printer type in Demo #1 mode to assist you in deciding on which report you will use. A Check Mark will appear next to the last Option you selected so when printed on a week to week basis the Check Mark will indicate which format your using. Set Print Options (F7) should be reviewed for possible change before printing reports for the first time. Print options set at this screen only effect reports printed from this screen and the previous screen (Enter Player Picks). Options selected will be retained for subsequent printing.

If you are not using them, Please see "Print Game Result Sheets" on page 8-8. Entering or Changing Game Results: a. Enter the following for Game #1: Enter the winning Team (1=away,2=home,3=tie). You MUST repeat the above for each game. Entering a winning team for each game is required. If you are processing a NFL type Pool and you plan on running preliminary results you can enter either Team for the Monday night game. It is not important which Team you enter, because preliminary processing will project each Team as the winner. After the Monday night game is played you should change the Monday night winning Team, if necessary, before processing the actual results. b. Enter actual Total MONDAY NIGHT/TIE BREAKER Points scored, press <enter>. If you are processing a NFL type Pool and you plan on running preliminary results you don't have to enter total Monday night points, because they are ignored for preliminary processing. After the Monday night game is played you should enter the actual total Page 5-2 Monday night points, before processing the actual results. Note: Please notice that you can use the "+ Key" as the enter key for faster entry, for those keyboards that do not have an enter key on the numeric key pad. If necessary you can press <ESC> at anytime to clear the game results and exit. c. Press <F10). Error Messages: THERE ISN'T ANY SCHEDULE DATA PRESENT FOR WEEK ? - You have not entered Schedule data for the current Week #. TEAM MUST BE 1 - 3 - Team is not (1=away,2=home,3=tie). You must enter a winning Team for every game on the Schedule or press <ESC> to clear the game results and exit. Page 5-3 Process & Display/Print Prelim Results -------------------------------------- ******************************************************************************* POOL 1 PROCESS & DISPLAY PRELIM RESULTS WEEK 16 - Preliminary Processing is setup for Pools that end each Week's Schedule with a single Monday Night Game. However, if you want to use it for non-NFL type Pools see the documentation. - This step should be performed after all Sunday and earlier games have been played and prior to Monday night's game. - Prelim Result Processing is performed twice. Pass 1 projects Monday's Away team as winning, while Pass 2 projects Monday's Home team as winning. - All Monday Night Point processing will NOT be performed. - Updating and Clearing of ANY Data will NOT be performed. ENTER=CONTINUE ESC=EXIT ******************************************************************************* Please read the points on the above screen. Menu steps 2 & 3 perform the same process except step 3 also prints preliminary result reports so they can be posted on the bulletin board, if you wish. Occasionally NFL type (NFL,WLAF) Pools do not end a weeks Schedule with a single Monday Night game. However, Prelim processing can still be performed, if desired (see, Running Prelims on non-NFL type Pools, below). When this situation arises you probably should not post Prelim result reports on the bulletin board on Mondays. Consider the following: 1. The NFL occasionally will not schedule a Monday Night game if it falls on a holiday. 2. The WLAF occasionally will not schedule a Monday Night game if it falls on a holiday or will schedule more than 1 Monday Night game. If more than 1 Monday Night game is scheduled the winning combinations will be numerous, which can make interpretation of Prelim result reports difficult for Players. See page 5-6 which shows the Prelim result screens that are displayed for each pass and the 2 pages following that show the corresponding Prelim printed result reports (produced by step 3) that can be posted. They show a recap of the prospective top finishers in each category. The GAMES RIGHT OPTION and YTD STANDINGS categories will not appear, if you are not using those options. If you need a description of the categories or the information on these screens and reports, Please see "Print Pool Results" on page 6-1. Page 5-4 Running Prelims on non-NFL type Pools ------------------------------------- The Prelim process always assumes the last game scheduled as being a Monday night game, so all Prelim screens and reports refer to that game as being on Monday. It does this no matter what day the last game is scheduled to play. For non-NFL type Pools this reference to Monday night should be ignored. In most cases you probably would not want to print Prelim reports for posting on a bulletin board anyway because the winning combinations are numerous. However, you can speculate results for any type Pool by guessing which Teams will win any of the games on the Schedule and then run a Prelim. For example, if you are processing a College Pool and games are played on Saturday and Sunday. After the Saturday games are played you can guess the winning teams for the Sunday games and run Prelim processing. You can change your winning Team assumptions and rerun the Prelim as many times as desired. Prelim processing will figure results on all the games twice (2 passes). Pass 1 will project the away Team of the last game scheduled as winning and pass 2 will project the home Team of the last game scheduled as winning. Error messages: THERE AREN'T ANY PLAYER PICKS TO PROCESS - You have not entered Player picks for the current week. GAME RESULTS HAVE NOT BEEN ENTERED - You have not entered game results for the current week.

Note: We suggest that you print ALL reports from Demo #1 mode to get a **** full visual concept of how these reports print for your printer type. The first 2 reports are identical in purpose. Report #1 takes advantage of some Epson Compatible and HP SII Laserjet Compatible printer functions. Where Report #2 should be used for all other printer types. After reviewing the reports you should select only 1 for your use. If you have an Epson Compatible or HP SII Laserjet Compatible you can use either Report 1 or 2. However, we recommend Report #1 for Epson Compatible and HP SII Laserjet Compatible printers. Please read the following pages for a full description of each report.

However, BOLD print does not appear on the sample report above, because full printer function is not used when printing this manual you are now reading. Note: To get a better visual concept of this you should print this report using Demo #1 Mode so you can see how the BOLD print appears. This report prints in name order. [a] BOLD = NO PLAY OR LOSS - Team Names [b] that appear in BOLD print are the Teams that lost. If the game ended in a tie neither team will be in BOLD print. - Confidence Points [f] (if used) or Team (1=away,2=home) appear in BOLD print if the Player picked the Team that lost. Tie games will not appear in BOLD because ties are counted as correct games. - Total Games Right [d] appear in BOLD print if the Player did not play in the GAMES RIGHT OPTION (if used). Page 6-3 - Monday Night\Tie Breaker game total points difference [e] appear in BOLD print if the Player did not play in MONDAY NIGHT/TIE BREAKER OPTION (if used). [b] Team Names (read vertically) for each game. Away Team Name appears first followed by the home Team Name. [c] Player's total Confidence Points (if used) for the week. This column will not appear if Confidence Points are not used. [d] Player total Games Right for the week. [e] Monday Night\Tie Breaker game total points difference. This is the difference between the total points the player chose and the actual points scored in the Monday Night\Tie Breaker game. [f] Confidence Points (if used) assigned for each game. If Confidence Points are not used Team (1=away,2=home) Player chose to win will appear in this column. For example, Player (Adams) assigned 4 Confidence Points to game 1 Detroit over Green Bay. If Confidence Points are not used you would see Team 1 (Away team Detroit) instead of Confidence Points. Remember, if a Player picked the losing Team the Confidence Points (if used) or Team (1=away,2=home) will be in BOLD print to indicate that he lost that game.

[a] * = LOSS, If the Team lost an asterisk (*) will appear under the Team name. For example, game 1 Green Bay lost so a asterisk appears under Green Bay (see above). The asterisk also Page 6-5 appears in the body of the report to indicate that the Player picked the losing Team [f] see below. [b] Team Names (read vertically) for each game. Away Team Name appears first followed by the home Team Name. [c] Player's total Confidence Points (if used) for the week. This column will not appear if Confidence Points are not used. [d] Player total Games Right for the week. [e] Monday Night\Tie Breaker game total points difference. This is the difference between the total points the player chose and the actual points scored in the Monday Night\Tie Breaker game. [f] If Confidence Points are used: If Player picked the losing team an asterisk (*) will appear or blank if the Player picked the winning team followed by the Confidence Points. For example, Player (Adams) picked Detroit (blank) over Green Bay and assigned 4 Confidence Points to game 1. If Confidence Points are not used: If Player picked the losing team an asterisk (*) will appear next to the team (1=away team,2=home team). For example, Player (Adams) picked the winning team Detroit (1) would appear with no asterisk who beat Green Bay in game 1. If Detroit lost (*1) would appear. Obviously the Confidence Points would not appear because they are not being used. [g] Number of Players that played REGULAR GAME. [h] Number of Players that played GAMES RIGHT OPTION (if used).

This report can be used for processing and reporting a Pool on a remote basis. Many users of this program use it to process a Pool for friends or associates that they might not see on a regular basis. For example, fraternities, clubs, team members or any other kind of group. Instead of sending all the result reports each week you can send each Player his individual result recap report along with a YTD Standings report every 3rd week. Note: If you specified, Print Indivl = No, on the Player record for a Player, an Individual Result report will not be printed for that Player unless he plays. For clarification see item "Print Indivl" on page 7-3. Each report can be folded so the name & address can be positioned to appear in the window of a windowed envelope. You also have the option of printing Player labels, see page 7-1. When this report is requested (in non-Demo Mode) you will be prompted with the following, so you can enter the Player #'s you want to print. The defaults for Player #'s will print a report for all active Players. You also have the option of entering a message that will be printed on each Players individual result report. When printing this report in Demo Mode you will not be prompted for the following because the program will default to values that are appropriate for the Demo. ******************************************************************************* BEGIN PLAYER # 1 (DEFAULTS) N ENTER MESSAGE FOR INDIVIDUAL RESULTS END PLAYER # 99 (PRINT ALL) (Y/N) F10=CONTINUE ******************************************************************************* * All the following items appear on the report, only if the respective options were specified when setting up your Pool options.

Set Print Options (F7) should be reviewed for possible change before printing a report for the first time. Print options set at this screen only effect a report that is printed from this screen. Options selected will be retained for subsequent printing. If you have a Epson compatible or a HP SII laserjet compatible and a report does not print properly try printer type 3 (other) which can be selected on "Pool Setup Menu" on page 11-1.

On most reports the Last Name appears first followed by First Name Initial and Middle Initial (if used). That is, if you enter the names normally, however, there is an alternate method. If you want the First name to appear first you can reverse the first and last names. However, with this method the Last Name Initial is Printed instead of the whole Last Name. The Jack P Brown example below is for those situations where you have to uniquely define a Player from another by using the Middle Initial. We do not recommend using the Middle Initial if not needed because reports look much better without it. Examples ........ Player Names: John Peterson Jack P Brown ------------- ------------ Normal: First Name John Jack Middle Initial P Last Name Peterson Brown Name on reports Peterson J... Brown JP... Reversed: First Name Peterson Brown Middle Initial Last Name John Jack P Name on reports John P... Jack P B... Page 7-2 First Name (required) ---------- Enter First Name. Middle Init (optional) ----------- We recommend using Middle Initial ONLY when you have to uniquely define Players that have the same Last Name & First Name Initial. Cosmetically reports look much better without Middle Initials. Last Name (required) --------- Enter Last Name. Addr Line 1-3 (optional) ------------- Should be entered if you plan on using Individual Player Result reports. Please see, "Individual Player Results" on page 6-20 for a more complete explanation. If only 2 lines of address are required for a Player, use line 1 & 2 not 2 & 3. Home Phone & Work Phone (optional) ----------------------- Enter Phone #'s in any desired format. Dept Code (optional) --------- If you wish to sequence your Player List by Department Code, assign a unique Department Code for each Department. This item also appears on other reports for reference. Consider the following examples: ACCT = Accounting CRDT = Credit Dept RECV = Accounts Receivable Notes (optional) ----- Use for keeping any kind of general notes. Print Indivl ------------ This item only effects the Pool if you utilize Individual Player Result reports. This option gives you the capability to exclude a Player from that report, if he does not play a given week. If you specify Yes for a Player an Individual Player Result report will be printed for him whether he plays or not. If you specify No for a Player an Individual Player Result report will be printed for him only if he plays. When a Player plays in the Pool intermittently and you want to print an Individual Player Result report for him whether he plays or not, specify Yes, if you don't, specify No. If a player is not going to play the remainder of the season you would probably specify No. You also have the option of deleting Players that are not playing. We do not recommend deleting Players until the EOY, so they can continue to appear on the YTD Standings Report (if used). Please see, "Individual Player Results" on page 6-20 for a description of this report. Page 7-3 Week Prepaid Thru (optional) ----------------- If a Player prepays his participation enter the week he is paid thru. For example, If a Player prepays 8 weeks at the beginning of the season you would enter 8. This item appears on various screens and reports to notify you of the Players prepaid status. Note: All the remaining items are described below and should not be entered when adding a Player record. These items should only be changed during the Season when an error condition arises that might require it. Most of these items appear on the YTD Standings Report (if used). * All these items will always appear, but are utilized only if the respective options were specified when setting your Pool options.

YTD Weeks Played ---------------- Number of Weeks played in REGULAR GAME. Last Week # Played ------------------ Last week # Player played in REGULAR GAME. Years Played ------------ Years Player has played in the Pool. Result Processing for the last week of the Season increments this item by 1. This item would only apply if you keep your Player records from Season to Season. Error Messages: ALL 99 PLAYER #'S ARE ASSIGNED ALREADY - You have assigned 99 Players for this Pool. We have found that 99 players is adequate because Players become discouraged after a few weeks if they don't win. Obviously the odds of a Player winning is higher when you have close to 99 Players. We recommend using more than one Pool when you have more than 99 Players. See "Select Pool" on page 9-2, for more details on processing multiple Pools. Page 7-5 PRINT PLAYER LIST ----------------- This step gives you the option of specifying a sequence for your Player List. You should not select option 2 if you did not enter Dept.

ESC=EXIT ******************************************************************************* From the Main Menu type <5>. There are 3 basic Pick Sheet preparation procedures. 1. If you entered the entire Season Schedule for your Pool, we recommend printing Player Pick Sheets for all Weeks of the Season for each Player at the beginning of the Season. With this procedure you will not have the difficulty in distributing Player Pick Sheets during each Week of the Season. 2. If you are entering Schedule Data on a Week by Week basis you should also print Player Pick Sheets and distribute them on a Week by Week basis. 3. Print Pick Sheets for new Players added during the Season and replacements for Players who have lost their Pick Sheets. Pick Sheets are printed on letter size paper. If you do not have a Epson Compatible or HP SII Laserjet compatible be sure you set your printer to print 66 lines per page. A Check Mark will appear next to the last Option (Option 1-4 only) you selected so when printed on a week to week basis the Check Mark will indicate which Pick Sheet style your using. If your Players have copy machine facilities you might prefer Pick Sheets without stubs. Players can make copies of their picks before submitting them. If they can not be copied you should use Pick Sheets with stubs. You can also use Pick Sheets without stubs and print them on 2 part paper if available. We suggest printing a sample of all 4 Pick Sheet types on your printer, before deciding on which you prefer. You can print them from Demo #1 Mode or enter a least 1 Player before printing Pick Sheets for your Pool. Page 8-1 From a paper bulk and ease of use standpoint we recommend half page with or without stub Pick Sheets. Especially for continuous form printers. After printing half page Pick Sheets, they can be separated by the half page, stacked and stapled in half page size packets. Note: Half page Pick Sheets are setup to print 33 lines per Pick Sheet (2 per page). HP SII and other laser printers will print half page Pick Sheets a little offset from the way a continuous feed type printer would. When half page Pick Sheets are separated and stacked together they look a little odd. From a format and usability standpoint they are fine. If you dislike this appearance you can use one of the full page Pick Sheets. ******************************************************************************* POOL 1 PRINT PLAYER PICK SHEETS WEEK 1 (Y/N) N Generic Pick Sheets (Don't Print for Specific Player #'s) 1 # of Pick Sheets Per Week 1 Enter From Player # (Press F9 to Lookup Player #) 15 Enter To Player # (Press F9 to Lookup Player #) 1 Enter From Week # 17 Enter To Week # F10=CONTINUE ESC=EXIT ******************************************************************************* After selecting a Pick Sheet you will see above screen (if not in Demo Mode). (Y/N) Generic Pick Sheets ------------------------- Generic Pick Sheets are non-personalized Pick Sheets. Instead of Printing a specific Player name & number at the top of Pick Sheet, lines will be printed so name & player number can be written in by hand. We recommend printing 5 (see next item) or more Generic Pick Sheets for each Week in the Season. If a Player loses his Pick Sheet or he is a late entry in the Pool he can use an on hand Generic Pick Sheet. However, you should print personalized Pick Sheets if possible. When printing Generic Pick Sheets you will not enter from and to Player #'s. Page 8-2 # of Pick Sheets Per Week ------------------------- When printing Generic Pick Sheets enter the # of Pick Sheets wanted per Week. For personalized Pick Sheets you would most likely enter 1. Enter from Player # ------------------- When printing personalized Pick Sheets enter lowest Player # you wish to print Pick Sheets for. Enter to Player # ------------------- When printing personalized Pick Sheets enter highest Player # you wish to print Pick Sheets for. Note: The defaults for the above 2 items will print Pick Sheets for all Players you currently have entered. If you want Pick Sheets for only 1 Player enter the same Player # in the above 2 items. All intervening Player #'s that have not been assigned will be skipped. Enter from Week # ----------------- Enter lowest Scheduled Week # you wish to print Pick Sheets for. Enter to Week # --------------- Enter highest Schedule Week # you wish to print Pick Sheets for. Note: The defaults for the above 2 items will print Pick Sheets for all Schedule Weeks you currently have entered. If you want Pick Sheets for only 1 Week enter the same Week # in the above 2 items. After entering all the above items press <F10>. For non-HP SII Laserjet printers you will be prompted for paper alignment. You should use alignment for all Continuous form printers only. This alignment is especially important for half page Pick Sheet printing.

Then use this report for checking the accuracy of the Schedule entered with your Schedule Worksheets and/or Schedule Source. After checking your Schedule retain and use these Game Result Sheets each Week to record the game results. After all games are recorded each Week you can enter the results from these sheets. Page 8-8 RESTORE POOL TO PRIOR WEEK ========================================================================== ******************************************************************************* POOL 1 RESTORE POOL TO PRIOR WEEK WEEK 2 - The purpose of this step is to give you the capability to Restore to the prior week. - This step will only Restore to the week just prior to the week you are currently on. - This step would be necessary if you ran Results incorrectly and you desire to Restore, correct an error and then rerun Results for the prior week. - If you made any modifications to any Pool Data since running last weeks Results all those modifications will be lost. (as if they never happen) - If you continue (enter Y) you will Restore this Pool to the exact status it was in just prior to running the Results for last week. RESTORE TO WEEK # 1 N (Y/N) ESC=EXIT ******************************************************************************* From Main Menu type <6>. This step is used for restoring the Pool Data Base File to the identical status it was in just prior to running the Results for the prior week. Each week when Pool Result processing is performed the exact status of the Pool Data Base File is saved prior to processing the Results. This saved file is used by this step (when requested) for restoring the Pool Data Base File. If you process Results and then become aware of an error (i.e. not entering the proper results for a game) you would use this step to Restore the Pool Data Base File. You would then correct the error and rerun the Results and reports. This step could also be used to Restore when you unintentionally destroy or modify some Pool Data. For example, if you accidentally deleted players, schedule data, teams or pool options. If Restore is used for this purpose you should still rerun Results immediately after Restore. Restoring is only available for the prior week. For example, after processing Results for week 4 (current week would then be 5) you can Restore to the status just prior to week 4 Result processing, but not to week 3 or earlier. Error Messages: THERE IS NOT A PRIOR WEEK TO RESTORE - You haven't run any results prior to requesting this step or you indirectly deleted Prior Week Data Base file using the Clear & Reset Pool Data step.

SETUP POOL OPTIONS ------------------ Use this step to setup the options you want for your pool. Normally you would set these options at the beginning of the season, however, you can change most of them at any time during the season. All default values on the next two screens on page 11-2 can be changed to meet your requirements. After reviewing the Pool options on the following pages you should: - Start FPK in DEMO #1 mode to get a better understanding on how these options affect Pool processing. DEMO #1 has all Pool Options in effect. You should also print all sample result reports for review, while in DEMO #1 mode. Please see "Quick Demo Walk Thru" on page 2-1. - You should print Sample Football Pool Signup Forms (see page 1-2) to get an overview from a Players viewpoint. - You should review most of the User Manual, before making your final decision on your Pool options. Each option on the screens on page 11-2 are defined on the pages following the screens.

This Title is optional and if present it will print at the top of most reports. If you are processing a Pool for the whole company you might want to enter a company name (i.e. ABC Construction). If you are processing multiple Pools by department you might want to enter company name & department name or just department name (i.e. ABC Construction - Accounting Dept., Credit Dept.). (Y/N) NFL Type Pool, Each Weeks Schedule ends with a single Monday Night --------------------------------------------------------------------Game If the Pool you are processing ends a week's schedule with a single Monday night game enter Yes. The National Football League (NFL) and the World League of American Football (WLAF) are currently (at the time of this documents creation) the only two leagues for which you would enter Yes. For all other leagues you should most likely enter No. This option facilitates running preliminary results on Monday before the Monday night game is played. (Y/N) Print early Game Warning Message on Pick Sheets ----------------------------------------------------- Pool Players should have their picks in before the first game is played each week. Some leagues have games during the week and this option will help notify the Players that there are early games. A message will be printed on their Pick Sheets for all weeks when early games are scheduled. This message will remind the Players to submit their picks earlier then usual for a given week. When entering your schedule you will define which games are considered to be early games. For example, the NFL has an occasional game scheduled before Saturday or Sunday. For the NFL there is usually a game on Monday night each week, but that game is NOT considered an early game because, it is associated with the schedule for the prior week. Each week's schedule for the NFL officially starts on Tuesday and ends on Monday and early games are usually scheduled on Thursdays. This option should most likely be used for NFL and College schedules. But you can use it for any league if it fits your needs. Please see, "Maintain Schedule" on page 12-1, for further discussion on defining early games. Page 11-3 Regular Game Amount (50-5000 Don't enter Decimal Point 100 = 1.00) ------------------------------------------------------------------ Enter the amount each Player will contribute to play in the REGULAR GAME each week. Regular Game Distribution % for 1st Place (10-100) -------------------------------------------------- Enter the percentage that the first place winner will receive each week from the total amount available to distribute for the REGULAR GAME. If you wish to have first place only, enter 100. Note: The sum of 1st + 2nd below MUST = 100. Regular Game Distribution % for 2nd Place (0-90) ------------------------------------------------ Enter the percentage that the second place winner will receive each week from the total amount available to distribute for the REGULAR GAME. If you prefer not to have second place enter blanks. This option also provides for one more winner per week which often gives Players more interest in playing. (Y/N) Use Confidence Points (1 to # of Games per Week) ------------------------------------------------------ Enter Yes, if you desire the CONFIDENCE POINTS system to be in effect for the REGULAR GAME. When a team is picked to win each Player must also assign a CONFIDENCE POINT number which indicates his confidence in that pick. For example, if there are 14 games in a given week each Player must assign each number from 1-14 to each game. The game the Player has the most confidence in, he would assign 14 points, the game with the least confidence 1 point. There would be 105 CONFIDENCE POINTS available in a week with 14 games (1+2+3+4+5+6+7+8+9+10+11+12+13+14=105). Each Player must use each number from 1 to the number of games played each week only once. The CONFIDENCE POINTS assigned to all the games the Player predicted correctly are totaled. Any games not predicted correctly by the Player results in zero CONFIDENCE POINTS for that game. If a game ends in a tie all Players would be awarded the CONFIDENCE POINTS for that game. The Player with the most CONFIDENCE POINTS for a given week wins the REGULAR GAME for that week. If you enter No, the winner of the REGULAR GAME will be the Player that predicted the most GAMES RIGHT (correct games). A tie game will be counted as a right game. Please see "Regular Game Results Report" on Page 6-8, which might better clarify how this option would affect the REGULAR GAME. Page 11-4 (Y/N) Games Right Option ------------------------ This option can be Yes ONLY if you entered Yes for use of CONFIDENCE POINTS above. If you entered No for CONFIDENCE POINTS the REGULAR GAME would be based on games right and there would be no purpose in this option. If you enter Yes, the program will declare a separate winner for the participating Players that picked the most GAMES RIGHT. A tie game will be counted as a right game. This option is designed to reward the Player that might not have CONFIDENCE POINTS high enough to win the REGULAR GAME, but had the distinction of having the most GAMES RIGHT. The Player that has the highest CONFIDENCE POINTS, quite often does not have the highest GAMES RIGHT. This option also provides for the possibility of one more winner per week which often gives Players more interest in playing. There are usually some Players that want to play for more than others in the Pool and this option gives them that opportunity. For example, the amount each Player contributes to play the REGULAR GAME is the minimum amount required to play in the Pool. However, if some Players wish to chance more, they can also play (for an additional amount) in this option. Obviously, only those Players that play this option have a chance of winning the total amount received from all Players that play this option. Each Player has the option to play in this option on a weekly basis. This option can be difficult to understand, because it is an option at the Pool level (by entering yes here) and at the weekly level (where each Player has the option to play each week). Please see "Games Right Option Report" on Page 6-9, which might better clarify how this option would affect the Pool. Games Right Amount (50-5000 Don't enter Decimal Point 100 = 1.00) ----------------------------------------------------------------- Enter the amount each Player will contribute to play in the GAMES RIGHT OPTION each week. Note: There is only a 1st place winner for this option. (Y/N) Monday Night Option or Tie Breaker Option ----------------------------------------------- If you specified on screen 1 that this is a NFL type pool this option would be called MONDAY NIGHT OPTION. If you did NOT specify this as a NFL type pool this option would be called TIE BREAKER OPTION. If you enter Yes, the Program will declare a separate winner for the participating Players that predicts the total points he thinks both teams together will score in the Monday night game (NFL-type Pool) or tie breaker game (non-NFL-type Pool). This option should always pertain to the total points scored in the last game scheduled each week. The Player that predicts the nearest total points would be the winner. The total points predicted can be over or under the actual points scored and still be a winner, if the total is the nearest. Page 11-5 This option also provides for the possibility of one more winner per week which often gives Players more interest in playing. There are usually some Players that want to play for more than others in the Pool and this option gives them that opportunity. For example, the amount each Player contributes to play the REGULAR GAME is the minimum amount required to play in the Pool. However, if some Players wish to chance more they can also play (for an additional amount) in this option. Obviously, only those Players that play this option have a chance of winning the total amount received from all Players that play this option. Each Player has the option to play in this option on a weekly basis. This option can be difficult to understand, because it is an option at the Pool level (by entering yes here) and at the weekly level (where each Player has the option to play each week). IMPORTANT: Tie Breaker Points MUST be specified by each Player for the ********* last game scheduled each Week, because they are used for tie breakers on the REGULAR GAME and GAMES RIGHT OPTION (if used). This applies, whether you use this option or not. This is still true, EVEN if you are using this option and a Player is NOT playing this option. Please see "Monday Night Option/Tie Breaker Option Report" on Page 6-10 which might better clarify how this option would affect the Pool. Monday Night Option or Tie Breaker Option Amount (50-5000) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Enter the amount each Player will contribute to play in the MONDAY NIGHT OPTION or TIE BREAKER OPTION which ever applies. Note: There is only a 1st place winner for this option. Regular Game Deduction % for Pool Processing Expenses (0-40) ------------------------------------------------------------ If you wish to compensate the Pool Keeper (person running the Pool) for his effort. You may enter a percentage that will be deducted from the total amount available to distribute for the REGULAR GAME each week. Enter blanks if you do not wish to use this option. Please see "Monetary Distribution Recap" on Page 6-16 which might better clarify how this option would affect the Pool. (Y/N) Allow same Team to appear more then once on a Week's Schedule ------------------------------------------------------------------- If you enter Yes, this option will allow you to schedule the same team more then once on a given week's schedule. For the NFL, WLAF and College schedules you should enter No. Teams in these leagues can play only once per scheduled week. This option will apply for bi-weekly CFL type schedules and any other schedule type, where it might apply. Note: If you enter Yes, the schedule entry screen will not check that the same team appears more then once on a week's schedule. Page 11-6 Current Schedule Week # (1-19 Next Week # Results will be Processed For) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Enter the schedule week number that Pool processing will begin with. If the league has not started play before setting up this Pool you would enter 1. If you are starting your Pool after the league has completed 4 weeks of play you would enter 5 and you do not have to enter schedule data for weeks 1-4. Result Processing will increment this value by 1 each week. (Y/N) YTD Standings Report Option --------------------------------- If you enter Yes, a YTD standings report will be produced each week. The Players YTD standings are based on the total YTD CONFIDENCE POINTS (if used) or total YTD GAMES RIGHT associated with the REGULAR GAME. All Players YTD data will be printed on this report. This report has many features and we recommend using it, even if you are not using the Pot of Gold feature described below. Please see, "YTD Standings Report" on page 6-11, for a more detailed description of this report. Regular Game Deduction % for Pot of Gold (0-50) ----------------------------------------------- This Pot of Gold (POG) feature is optional, but can only be entered if you entered Yes for using YTD Standings Report above. Enter percentage that will be deducted from the total amount to distribute for the REGULAR GAME. This weekly POG amount will be accumulated each week for the entire Season. The total POG amount at the EOY will be distributed based on Player standings on the YTD Standings Report. Because all Players are eligible to win the POG this feature gives Players more incentive to play in the Pool each and every week. If a Player doesn't play the REGULAR GAME even 1 week his chance of winning the POG is very unlikely. If you do not want the POG feature enter blanks. Please see "Monetary Distribution Recap" on Page 6-16 which might better clarify how this option would affect the Pool. You can also see "YTD Standing Report" on page 6-11, which shows a sample EOY, POG distribution column. The next 4 items only apply if you enter a percentage here. EOY Pot of Gold Distribution % for 1st Place (10-100) ----------------------------------------------------- Enter the percentage of the total POG amount that the 1st place winner will receive at EOY. If you want first place only enter 100. Note: The sum of 1st + 2nd + 3rd MUST = 100. Page 11-7 EOY Pot of Gold Distribution % for 2nd Place (0-90) --------------------------------------------------- Enter the percentage of the total POG amount that the 2nd place winner will receive at EOY. If you do not want a 2nd place enter blanks. If you enter blanks here, you must also enter blanks for 3rd place below. EOY Pot of Gold Distribution % for 3rd Place (0-90) --------------------------------------------------- Enter the percentage of the total POG amount that the 3rd place winner will receive at EOY. If you do not want a 3rd place enter blanks. YTD Pot of Gold Amount (0-9999999) ---------------------------------- This is the YTD accumulated POG amount which will be distributed at the EOY. When setting up a Pool, you should enter blanks. This amount is increased during result processing each week by the weekly POG deduction from the REGULAR GAME. Normally this amount would not be adjusted during the year.

If you have even a NEAR compatible for type 1 or 2 we suggest that you try using either of those first. If your reports do not print properly then use type 3. If you have a IBM Pro printer try printer type 1 (Epson) because most reports will print correctly with the exception of Players Pick Matrix 2 and 3. There are print options that can be selected from the following step menu screens. Each of these screens has the option (F7=Set Print Options) which should be used (if desired) to select the print options that are available for your printer type. Enter Player Picks............................... 4-1 Enter and Process Results........................ 5-1 Print Pool Results............................... 6-1 Maintain Player Records and Lists................ 7-1 Print Player Pick Matrix......................... 4-11 Note: When changing from one printer type to another the program resets all print options set by (F7) to the defaults. The print options for all 3 printer types are discussed below. Type 1 (Epson Printers and Compatibles) ---------------------------------------- 1. For continuous form printing use letter size or wider paper if necessary. If needed set your printer to print at least 66 lines per page. 2. For cut sheet printing use letter size paper. If desired you can use legal size paper but you must use option, print page headings Page 11-10 only on first page, described below. By using the option (F7=Set Print Options) on steps where it is available. You have the option to print page headings only on first page or every page (default) for continuous or cut sheet printing. Type 2 (Hewlett Packard Laserjet Series II and Compatibles) ------------------------------------------------------------ The following printers are not totally compatible with the HP Laserjet SII printer but they should work. HP laserjet HP laserjet Plus HP laserjet 500 Use letter or legal size paper. Legal size paper is recommended for 50 or more Players. By using the option (F7=Set Print Options) on steps where it is available. You have the option to select letter (default) or legal size paper and print page headings only on first page or on every page (default). You should use the option (F7=Set Print Options) on all steps where it is available to select letter or legal size paper. This will give you the capability for using letter or legal for all report printing. If all your printing is not for one size you may have to make paper tray changes when going from one size to the other depending on the laserjet printer you have. However, you can mix paper sizes if you wish. Type 3 (All other Printers) ---------------------------- 1. For continuous form printers use letter size or wider paper if necessary. Make sure your printer is set to print 66 lines per page. 2. For laser or cut sheet printers letter size paper is assumed. Make sure your printer is set to print 66 lines per page. If desired you can use legal size paper which is recommended for 50 or more Players but you must use option, print page headings only on first page, described below. If using Legal size, lines per page should be at least 84 lines per page. If necessary setup your laser printer to use letter or legal paper. By using the option (F7=Set Print Options) on steps where it is available. You have the option to print page headings only on first page or every page (default) for continuous or cut sheet printing. Note: For laserjet printers you may get intermittent blank pages when printing (this is unavoidable).

ESC=EXIT ******************************************************************************* From the main menu type <72>. Instead of performing all the busy work necessary to assemble and enter Team Names and Schedule Data why not Register now and receive a Free NFL Schedule and become eligible to order all Schedules (Pro & College). If you are Registered you are already eligible to order all Schedules. Ordered Schedules are sent on a disk and can be loaded in seconds. Please perform step 4 above for additional information before proceeding. The FPK is shipped with a NFL Schedule and NFL Teams pre-loaded, however, the Schedule may not be for the current Season. You may want to review it, before preparing your own Schedule. If it is not current or you don't wish to use it, you should clear it using, "Clear & Reset Pool Data" see page 13-1, before entering your Schedule. To review the current Schedule perform step "Print Game Result Sheets " on page 8-8 and/or step "Maintain Schedule" above. Schedule Setup Procedure: 1. Before entering your Schedule Data you must enter or confirm that all Team Names associated with Schedule you want to enter are loaded. If you are not sure use step "Maintain Teams" above (see page 12-7) to determine the Team Names that are loaded. 2. If you have not done so, perform step "Print Team List" above. This Team List can be used later for Schedule preparation. 3. Proceed to step "Maintain Schedule" above (see page 12-2) to enter your Schedule.

For example, High School, College and Pro. The FPK was designed primarily for Football, but you can also use it for any type Sport. (i.e. Baseball, Basketball, Soccer). There are 2 basic Schedule setup procedures: 1. Entering entire or remaining Season's Schedule during initial Pool setup. If the entire or remaining Season Schedule is available we recommend entering the entire Schedule. 2. Entering each Week's Schedule on a week by week basis. Which means, you would determine the games you are going to schedule and enter each week during the Season. Warning: Each Week the Result Processing step tries to determine if ******* the Current Week # is the LAST Week of the Season, so the proper EOY processing can be performed. If the Current Week # and the highest Schedule Week # entered are equal Result Processing assumes EOY. If you enter your Schedule on a Week by Week basis you must keep Schedule Data at least 1 Week ahead of the Page 12-2 Current Week # through the whole Season, except for the last Week (EOY). For example, if the Current Week # is 1 you must have Schedule Data entered for Week #2 before you run the Results for Week #1. To circumvent this restriction you can enter a single game (a real or dummy game) for Week #2 before running Results for Week #1. Then determine your Week #2 Schedule Data and enter it before printing Player Pick Sheets for Week #2. If you desire you can enter a single game (a real or dummy game) for all remaining weeks you plan on scheduling at initial Pool setup. Preparing and Entering Schedule Worksheets: 1. At initial Pool setup ONLY, if you haven't already, you should clear all weekly Schedule Data using step "Clear & Reset Pool Data" (see page 13-1) before entering a new Schedule. 2. You should have already confirmed or entered all Team Names needed for the Schedule Data you are going to enter. 3. You should have printed a Team List. 4. There are 2 methods for entering Schedule Data. a. You may enter Schedule Data by selecting Teams interactively from a window. The data that must be entered is the same as using procedure b. (Worksheets) below. If your not going to use Worksheets you should still read step 5 below to understand the data that must be entered. Then proceed to step 6 to enter your Schedule. b. To utilize Worksheets for Schedule preparation use step "Print Schedule Worksheets" on page 12-1. You will need 1 Worksheet for each Week you are going to Schedule. You might be saying why Worksheets. Some of our users feel that Schedule Worksheets are more efficient and accurate then screen interaction for Schedule preparation. 5. Prepare a Worksheet for each Week: - SAMPLE - Abbreviated Team List & Worksheet --------------------------------- Team List Schedule Worksheet ================ ====================================== TEAM NAME TM# ** Week 1 ** AWAY HOME Atlanta 1 MMDDYY GAME TEAM# TEAM# DAY Buffalo 2 090490 1 3 9 4 1=MON Chicago 3 ------ ----- ----- --- 2=TUE Cincinnati 4 2 8 1 3=WED Cleveland 5 ----- ----- --- 4=THU Dallas 6 3 5 4 5=FRI Denver 7 ----- ----- --- 6=SAT Detroit 8 ** Games 4-13 here ** Green Bay 9 14 2 6 1 ----- ----- --- Page 12-3 Working from your Schedule Source: a. Write the Schedule Week # on each Worksheet. If you are starting a Pool for a league who's schedule has been partially played you do not need to prepare Worksheets for the weeks played. However, you should prepare the first Worksheet with the proper week #. For example, if 4 weeks have been played you should start with week 5. Make sure you specify "Current Schedule Week #" (see page 11-7) in Pool options for the same week. b. Determine the date that the Schedule Week begins. This date should always precede the date of the first game played each Schedule Week. The NFL and WLAF Schedule Weeks should start with a Tuesday (because of Monday games). College Schedule Weeks should start with a Monday. The day (i.e. Monday, Tuesday) associated with the begin date can vary from Week to Week (non NFL,WLAF and College). Note: This date is VERY IMPORTANT because it is printed on PICK SHEETS and RESULT REPORTS. For example, suppose you are setting up a NFL Pool and games for Week 1 will be played between 9/4 and 9/10. Week 1 Begin date 9/4 Week 2 Begin date 9/11 (Week 1 Results Processed) Week 3 Begin date 9/18 (Week 2 Results Processed) Week 4 Begin date 9/25 (Week 3 Results Processed) SEPTEMBER S M T W T F S 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 c. For each game, reference Team List, and lookup Away and Home Team #'s. Determine game Day Codes, which are optional but, we recommend the following: - For NFL and WLAF use Day Codes for all non-Sunday games. Games should be scheduled in day order Tuesday thru Monday. - For College use Day Codes for all games not on Saturday or Sunday. Games should be scheduled in day order Monday thru Sunday. - For other leagues use your own discretion. Page 12-4 Day Codes are used to print game day and early game notification messages (if used) on Player Pick Sheets. The number of games Scheduled each Week can vary from 1 to 14 games. The last game scheduled each week MUST be the Monday Night Game (NFL,WLAF) or Tie Breaker Game (non-NFL,WLAF). This positioning makes it easier for Players to determine your designated Tie Breaker Game on their Pick Sheets. Important: The FPK currently has a limitation of 18 weeks ********* per Season Schedule and 14 games per week, however, higher versions will allow for more. If you are Registered and this becomes a difficulty for you. Please, contact us using the "Comments to Author Form" you can print from the "Setup Menu". 6. Enter or change Schedule with Worksheets (if used) as follows: a. From the Main Menu type <721>. b. Enter Schedule Week #, press <enter>. c. Enter Week begin date, press <enter>. d. Enter the following for game #1: Enter Away Team #, press <enter> or press F9 to select Team. Enter Home Team #, press <enter> or press F9 to select Team. Enter Day Code if applicable, press <enter>. Repeat this step for each game, then press <F10> Note: Please notice that you can use the "+ Key" as the enter key for faster entry, for those keyboards that do not have an enter key on the numeric key pad. If necessary you can press ESC at anytime to clear the Schedule Week you are currently entering and restart your entry. e. Repeat steps b-d for each Worksheet. Error Messages: INVALID DATE - Schedule begin date must be month (01-12), day (01-31), year (00-99). TEAM # MUST BE 1 TO ? - Team # is not in the range of Team #'s that are currently loaded. The allowed range is 1 to highest Team # loaded. TEAM # NOT ASSIGNED A TEAM NAME - Team # was not assigned a Team Name using step "Maintain Teams". TEAM # THE SAME AS AWAY TEAM - A team can not play itself. Page 12-5 TEAM # USED TWICE SEE GAME ? - The same Team # can not appear more then once on a Week's Schedule. There is a Pool Option that controls this condition. If you want the same Team to appear more then once, Please see, "Setup Pool Options" on Page 11-1. 7. When finished you should print the Schedule Data that you entered to sight verify it with your Worksheets (if used) and Schedule Source. Proceed to step "Print Game Result Sheets", on page 8-8.

If the Team Names currently loaded are the Team Names you need for the Schedule you are setting up, press <ESC> and proceed to enter your Schedule. There are 2 basic Team Name setup procedures: 1. Entering Team Names needed for the entire or remaining Season's Schedule during initial Pool setup. If the entire or remaining Season Schedule is available we recommend entering all Team names needed for entering the entire Schedule later. 2. Entering Team Names needed for each Week's Schedule on a week by week basis. Which means, you would determine the games and the corresponding Team Names you are going to schedule and enter each week during the Season. Enter or Change Team Names: 1. If you wish to clear all present Team Names before entering your Team Names, perform step "Clear & Reset Pool Data" on page 13-1, or you can enter your Team Names over the existing names. Normally you would only Clear Team Names during initial Pool setup. Page 12-7 2. Compile a list of all Team Names needed for the games you are going to schedule and enter later. Each Team Name needed for the Schedule you are going to enter has to be entered only once. Enter the Team Names in any order and adjacent to any Team #. When Team Names are later displayed or printed they will be sorted in Team Name order. We do not recommend using all upper case letters for Team Names. After entering 20 Team Names on a screen press <PGDN> and enter the next 20. You can enter up to 400 Team Names. If you are entering Team Names on a week to week basis you may add them as needed. You can delete any Team Name at anytime, by entering blanks for that Team #, but we do not recommend deleting Teams until EOY. If you are mixing Pro, College or High School Teams you may have Duplicate Teams. If you have this difficulty consider the following: Team Name Type Enter ============ ======= ============ Washington Pro Washington Washington College Washington U Washington High S. Washington H 3. When finished press <ESC> to exit this step. 4. Upon exit you will be presented with the screen below giving you the option to sort all Team Names into Team Name order. If you are going to enter the complete or remaining Season Schedule later, sorting the Team Names makes later Team maintenance much easier. However, sorting Team Names should NOT be performed after the first week when entering Team Names and Schedule Data on a week by week basis. Note, when in Demo Mode you will not be presented with the sort screen. 5. Perform step "Print Team List". Sight verify your Team Names for accuracy and duplicates. This Team list can be used later for Schedule preparation. 6. Proceed to step "Maintain Schedule" to enter your Schedule. ******************************************************************************* POOL 1 MAINTAIN TEAM NAMES WEEK 1 SORTING TEAM NAMES - It's IMPORTANT to NOTE that you should only Sort Team Names BEFORE Creating or Entering any Schedule Data for this Pool. - This sort can ONLY be Performed if there is NO Schedule Data present for this Pool. - When Team Names are Sorted all Blank Team Names are Purged and New Team NUMBERS are Assigned in ascending order.

F10=CONTINUE ESC=EXIT ******************************************************************************* From the Main Menu type <73>. This step should be used for initial Pool Setup, for End of Season (EOY), or anytime you wish to clear various Pool data. Please read points described on the above screen. Each individual option is described below. After reviewing the following options, please see page 13-3 for recommended option settings for initial Pool Setup and End of Season (EOY). Warning: Extra caution should be given to all of these options because you can unintentionally clear data very quickly. Clear all Year to Date Player Data ---------------------------------- If you specify Yes, all YTD Player Data will be cleared. This will not delete any Player Records nor will it delete any Player name, address, phone numbers, dept. code, notes or print indivl status. This normally would be performed at the EOY when you want to retain the general Player Data for use next season. Clear all Player Data (Delete all!) ----------------------------------- If you specify Yes, all Player Records will be deleted. This normally would be performed when setting up a new Pool or anytime you wish to delete all the Player Records. If you specify Yes here, the above option has no effect. Page 13-1 Clear all Weekly Schedule Data ------------------------------ If you specify Yes, all Weekly Schedule Data will be deleted. This normally would be performed at the EOY or when setting up a new Pool. Clear all Team Names -------------------- If you specify Yes, all team names will be deleted. You should be aware that these team names and the Weekly Schedule Data above are interrelated. Deleting the Weekly Schedule Data above without deleting the teams here is a valid circumstance, but deleting the teams without deleting the schedule is not. Schedule Data is dependent on team names, but team names are not dependent on Schedule Data. This normally would be performed when you no longer want the team names that are currently loaded. For example, if you presently have the NFL teams loaded and you are setting up a college Pool you would delete the NFL teams before entering the college team names needed for your college schedule. Reset Pool for New Season (Current Week = 1,POG = 0) ---------------------------------------------------- If you specify Yes, Pool control data will be reset for a new season. The Current Schedule Week # will be reset to 1 and the Pot of Gold amount would be reset to 0. Both of these options can be maintained on the Pool Options screen if desired. This normally would be performed at the EOY or when setting up a new Pool. Reset Pool to Default Pool File (Careful!) ------------------------------------------ If you specify Yes, your Pool Data Base File will be reset to the original status it was shipped with. This means that all Player Data will be deleted and the Schedule, Teams and Pool Options, will be reset to the defaults that were shipped with the FPK program you received. The only thing that is retained from the original Pool Data Base File will be the Printer Setup you specified for that Pool. Warning: Extra caution should be given to this option because you can ******* unintentionally clear a tremendous amount of data very quickly. Please see the following page for recommended option settings for initial Pool Setup and End of Season (EOY). Page 13-2 The following settings are recommended for initial Pool setup: Careful consideration should be given to each option because under some circumstances you may wish to retain some data. Y Clear all Year to Date Player Data Y Clear all Player Data (Delete all!) * Y Clear all Weekly Schedule Data * Y Clear all Team Names Y Reset Pool for New Season (Current Week = 1,POG = 0) N Reset Pool to Default Pool File (Careful!) * The FPK is shipped with a NFL Schedule and NFL Teams pre-loaded, however, the Schedule may not be for the current Season. If you are setting up a NFL Pool you probably would not want to clear the NFL Teams if they are present. If you wish to review the Teams present before clearing them see "Maintain Teams" on page 12-1. If you wish to review the Schedule present before clearing it see "Maintain Schedule" on page 12-2 and/or "Print Game Result Sheets" on page 8-8. The following settings are recommended for reset at EOY: Y Clear all Year to Date Player Data * N Clear all Player Data (Delete all!) Y Clear all Weekly Schedule Data N Clear all Team Names Y Reset Pool for New Season (Current Week = 1,POG = 0) N Reset Pool to Default Pool File (Careful!) * If you do not want to retain Player Records for next year you can change this option to Yes.

For example, the Pool Data Base File for Pool #1 is (WKCU01.DAT). Note: If necessary, you should replace all occurrences of "C:\FPK" in this section with the appropriate Drive and Directory. ==> POOL DATA BASE FILE ? IS NOT PRESENT IN PATH - You are missing one of the following Pool Data base files or Document files. MANUAL.DOC User Manual COMMENT.DOC Comments to Author Form REGISTER.DOC Registration Form, License Agreement SCHEDULE.DOC Schedule Order Form SIGNUP.DOC Sample Football Pool Signup forms DEMO1A.DAT Demo #1 Pool Data Base File DEMO2A.DAT Demo #2 Pool Data Base File DEFAULT.DAT Default Pool Data Base File WKCU##.DAT Pool Data Base File You could have accidentally deleted the file or it may have been damaged by a computer malfunction, power fluctuation or power failure. Hopefully, you practice good backup procedures. If you do, restore the missing file from your backup. If this is not possible see recovery discussions below. If you are missing the most important Pool Data Base File (WKCU##.DAT) which stores all your current Pool Data, try the following: Page 15-1 1. If you have a Prior Week Pool Data Base File (WKPR##.DAT) for this Pool perform the following copy at your hard drive prompt (i.e. C>). Doing this will restore your Pool Data Base file to the status it was in just prior to processing results for the prior week. After the copy you will have to rerun results for the most recent week to bring your Pool Data Base File to the most current state possible. COPY C:\FPK\WKPR##.DAT C:\FPK\WKCU##.DAT 2. If you do not have Prior Week Pool Data Base File (WKPR##.DAT) above you can try the last resort by performing the following copy at your hard drive prompt (i.e. C>). Doing this will reset your Pool Data Base file to defaults that the FPK was shipped with. Obviously, this means you will not be able to recover your Pool Data Base File data. COPY C:\FPK\DEFAULT.DAT C:\FPK\WKCU##.DAT If you use this copy to recover Pool # 2-9 you must use step (Select Pool) to delete and re-add the Pool # you are recovering because the Pool # in the DEFAULT.DAT file has Pool # 1 stored in it. If neither of the above steps work you should probably re-install FPK from the original media you received it on. All other missing files can be recovered by re-installing the FPK from the original media you received it on. Note: If you are not missing your Pool #1 Data Base File and you have a non-registered copy of the FPK, you should make a backup copy of your Pool #1 Data Base File before re-installing. Some non-registered versions of FPK will overwrite the Pool #1 Data Base File (WKCU01.DAT) (if it is present), but registered versions from the author will not. ==> POOL PROGRAM ? IS NOT PRESENT IN PATH - You are missing one of the following Programs: FPK.EXE Main Program P11.EXE Secondary Program P12.EXE Secondary Program P13.EXE Secondary Program P14.EXE Secondary Program P15.EXE Secondary Program BRT70ENR.EXE Secondary Program The program should be in path shown. You could have accidentally deleted the program or it may have been damaged by a computer malfunction, power fluctuation or power failure. Page 15-2 Hopefully, you practice good backup procedures. If you do, restore the missing program from your backup. If this is not possible see recovery discussions below. All missing programs can be recovered by re-installing the FPK from the original media you received it on. Note: If you have a non-registered copy of the FPK. You should make a backup copy of your Pool #1 Data Base File before re-installing. Some non-registered versions of FPK will overwrite the Pool #1 Data Base File (WKCU01.DAT) (if it is present), but registered versions from the author will not. ==> POOL DATA BASE FILE IS CORRUPT, FILE ? IS TO SHORT/IS TO LONG/WAS MODIFIED - One of the following Pool Data base files is corrupt.

Hopefully, you practice good backup procedures. If you do, restore the corrupt file from your backup. If this is not possible see recovery discussions below. DEMO1A.DAT, DEMO2A.DAT, DEFAULT.DAT - All these files can be recovered by re-installing the FPK from the original media you received it on. Note: If you have a non-registered copy of the FPK. You should make a backup copy of your Pool #1 Data Base File before re-installing. Some non-registered versions of FPK will overwrite the Pool #1 Data Base File (WKCU01.DAT) (if it is present), but registered versions from the author will not. WKCU##.DAT - If this file is corrupt it's unfortunate because this file stores all your current Pool Data, try the following: 1. If you have a Prior Week Pool Data Base File (WKPR##.DAT) for this Pool perform the following copy at your hard drive prompt (i.e. C>). Doing this will restore your Pool Data Base file to the status it was in just prior to processing results for the prior week. After the copy you will have to rerun results for the prior week to bring your Pool Data Base File to the most current state possible. COPY C:\FPK\WKPR##.DAT C:\FPK\WKCU##.DAT Page 15-3 2. If you do not have Prior Week Pool Data Base File (WKPR##.DAT) above you can try the last resort by performing the following copy at your hard drive prompt (i.e. C>). Doing this will reset your Pool Data Base file to defaults that the FPK was shipped with. Obviously, this means you will not be able to recover your Pool Data Base File data. COPY C:\FPK\DEFAULT.DAT C:\FPK\WKCU##.DAT If you use this copy to recover Pool # 2-9 you must use step (Select Pool) to delete and re-add the Pool # you are recovering because the Pool # in the DEFAULT.DAT file has Pool # 1 stored in it. If neither of the above steps work you should probably re-install FPK from the original media you received it on. WKPR##.DAT - If this file is corrupt there is nothing you can do. You were trying to restore your Pool to a prior week, but this file is corrupt so you can not. WKRS##.DAT - If this file is corrupt, you were trying to print result reports that are stored in this file. To recover this file restore your Pool to a prior week and rerun the results. ==> POOL DATA BASE FILE ?
