Setup Mode
==========
Setup mode is used to define information required by BowlStat. This
information includes:
o League Name.
o Number of teams.
o Number of bowlers per team.
o Team names/handicaps.
o Divisions
o Bowler information.
League Name & Size
------------------
INPUT LEAGUE DATA
╔═════════════════════════════════════╗
║ LEAGUE/TEAM INFORMATION ║
╠══════════╦══════════════════════════╣
║League ║ ║
║ Name║ ║
╠══════════╩═══════╦══════════════════╣
║# Teams in League ║ 0 ║
║# Bowlers Per Team║ 0 ║
╚══════════════════╩══════════════════╝
Fill in the above panel to define the league name and size.
Although there is a maximum capacity of 891 bowlers (99 teams X 9 per
team), only the actual number need be defined. This will allow for faster
operations as less information needs to be processed. Remember to leave
enough room for league expansion as, once defined, it's size cannot be
changed.
The League Name may be a maximum of 50 characters, displayed as 2
lines by 25 characters each in the panel.
# Teams in League: Enter a value up to the maximum value of 99.
# Bowlers Per Team: Enter a value up to the maximum value of 9.
Team Names/Handicaps
--------------------
╠══════════════════╬══════════════════╣
║Team Name ║ PINBUSTERS ║
║Team Division ║ 1 ║
║Team Handicap ║ +10 ║
║Points Won ║ 0 ║
║Points Lost ║ 0 ║
║High Series ║ 0 ║
║High Single ║ 0 ║
║Total Pinfall ║ 0 ║
╚══════════════════╩══════════════════╝
Once the League Name and size has been defined, the "LEAGUE/TEAM
INFORMATION" menu will be appended with the above sub panel. Depending on
the number of teams defined, BowlStat will ask for a Team Name/Team
Handicap and Division to be entered. Team Name is limited to a maximum of
14 characters, Team Handicap may be in the range of -99 to +99 (pins) and
Division has a maximum value of 9.
BowlStat initalizes the team database to all blank records before
requesting any information. Therefore, if only a few teams are required to
be defined, enter the known information. Once entered, press the escape
'ESC' key. The remaining entries in the database will be set to default
values. Later, information may be added by the Main Menu option "TEAM -
Edit".
Note: Default Team Division is 1.
Default Team Handicap is 0.
Bowler Information

╚════════════════════╝
Once the Team Names and Handicaps have been completed, the
"LEAGUE/TEAM INFORMATION" panel will be replced by the "BOWLER
INFORMATION" panel. Depending on the number of bowlers defined (number of
teams X number per team), BowlStat will ask for bowler information
consisting of the following fields:
o Last Name - 14 characters maximum
o First Name - 14 characters maximum
o Sex - M, F or ~
o Division - 1 to 9
o Team - 14 characters maximum
o Spare - Y or N
A counter at the bottom of the screen keeps track of the bowlers
that have been defined and those still requiring information to be
entered.
BowlStat initalizes the bowler database to blank entries before
requesting any information. Therefore, 'blank bowlers' can be added to the
database, which can be filled out at a later date (for new additions to
your league). To create blank bowler records, follow the following steps:
1) Add the number of blank entries (in team multiples) to the total number
of teams.
2) Enter all known bowler information, leaving the blanks till the end.
3) Press the escape "ESC" key. BowlStat will leave SETUP and assign the
remaining bowler database entries as blank.
The "~" Character
-----------------
The tilde "~" character has special meaning in BowlStat and is used
to indicate that the field should be ignored. This allows flexability when
handling transient or Spare bowlers. Uses for the "~" character are:
1) Ignore pinfall.
Pinfall for any bowler with a Team Name of "~" will NOT be counted
toward any specific TEAMS TOTAL PINFALL, since BowlStat does not
recognize "~" as a valid team name.
2) Surpress printing.
Any bowler with a "Team" name of "~" will not appear on any average
sheet that has been printed "by TEAM" or any Captain Sheet.
Any bowler with a "Sex" of "~" will not appear on any average sheet
printed "by AVERAGE" or "by NAME (ALPHABETICALLY).
Warning: BowlStat uses "~" in the "Last Name" field to indicate a blank
bowler record. Should the Last Name field be changed to "~"
with the editor, it is possible that the information currently
in the record will be erased if a new bowler is added via the
Main Menu option "BOWLER - Add".
To assign "~" as a Team Name, a team has to already been
defined with "~" as it's name.
