Due to the variety of font controls used in report generation "Daisy Wheel" type printers are not recommended for use with this program. 3. Laser printers, per se, are not supported; however, some laser printers, using Epson or IBM Proprinter emulation mode, have been used for report generation. PROGRAM FILE DESCRIPTIONS: This copy of The Bowling League Record System is distributed with a total of 20 files on either one or two diskettes containing the following files: o BLRL INSTALLATION DISK (15 files): GO.BAT Batch file to print the READ.ME file READ.ME BLRL descriptive text file LINSTALL.EXE BLRL Floppy or Hard disk installation program LSETUP.EXE Program to create the BLRSETUP.PRO file CONFIG.SYS A sample configuration system file BLRL.DOC Documentation text file for BLRL DOC.BAT Batch file to print the documentation file IPL.HDR Sample test league data file TEAM.HDR Sample test league data file BOWLER.HDR Sample test league data file TEAM.DTL Sample test league data file BOWLER.DTL Sample test league data file BWLSCHED.DTL Sample test league data file HILITE.DTL Sample test league data file BLRSETUP.PRO Sample BLRL system profile using drive B:\ to access the BLRL data files o BLRL PROGRAM DISK (5 files): BLRL.BAT Batch file to start BLRL L019.EXE BLRL program L002.EXE BLRL program L047.EXE BLRL program L3568.EXE BLRL program BLRL III User's Guide -- Evaluation Copy Page 3 PROGRAM FILE DESCRIPTIONS: (continued) The seven sample league BLRL data files are of a mixed handicap league having 4 teams with 2 bowlers per team bowling a 10 week schedule. League scores have been entered for 8 of the 10 weeks. The sample league data and files may be used to facilitate program evaluation and suitability for purpose including report generation and program features. The LINSTALL program prompts whether or not to include these sample files during the installation process. If they are included, the LINSTALL program will include the sample BLRSETUP.PRO file on the working copy of the BLRL program disk. BLRL LINSTALL PROGRAM: This program is designed to facilitate backup and installation of the Bowling League Record System series of programs to either a floppy or hard disk system. Before starting the installation process, it is recommended that the "master" diskettes be "write protected" to prevent accidental erasure or their being written over. To run the LINSTALL program, the user should know which disk drive will contain the "Source" and which disk drive will contain the "Target" files. The "Source" drive is defined as the drive that has the "master" disk and the "Target" is defined as the drive where the "master" files will be copied to. On a 2 drive floppy sytem, the "Source" drive is generally the A> drive and the "Target" drive is generally the B> drive. On a hard drive system, the "Source" drive is generaly the A> drive and the "Target" drive is generally the C> drive. The user should know the capacity of the "Source" disk and, on a floppy disk system, the capacity of the "Target" disk. For both "Source" and "Target" using 5.25" floppy disks, the capacity will be either 360 Kb or 1.2 Mb (most probable is 360 Kb); on 3.5" floppy disks, the capacity will be either 720 Kb or 1.44 Mb (most probable is 720 Kb). The program recognizes any floppy drive as either "Source" or "Target" drive but only recognizes the hard drive as the "Target" drive. The default "Target" hard disk drive and sub-directory is C:\BLRL3; the user may designate any other hard drive letter and sub-directory during the installation process. The program will create a sub-directory if it does not exist. If installing to a floppy 360 Kb disk system, prepare two floppy disks for the BLRL programs, BLRL PGM #1 and BLRL PGM #2, formatted without the /S parameter as there is not enough room for DOS and the BLRL programs to fit on one 360 Kb disk. If installing to high density or 3.5" floppies then prepare one 1.2 Mb, 720 Kb or 1.44 Mb floppy disk, BLRL PGM #1, formatted with or without the /S parameter. Prepare at least one additional disk for the BLRL data files. BLRL III User's Guide -- Evaluation Copy Page 4 BLRL LINSTALL PROGRAM: (continued) To start the program, insert the INSTALL disk in the default drive and enter "LINSTALL" (without the quotes). The program loads and begins execution by displaying a sequence of screen messages that are keyed to user input. When necessary, the program prompts to insert and/or remove diskettes during the installation process. Basically, the LINSTALL program copies all the program files from the "Source" disks to the "Target" disk(s) and provides a running commentary of the operations performed. At the conclusion of the copy sequence, the LINSTALL program prompts "... to go through the BLRSETUP procedure ...". An "N" response terminates the LINSTALL program and turns control back to DOS; a "Y" response terminates the LINSTALL program and turns control over to the BLRL LSETUP program. If an operational error is detected, the error condition is displayed allowing for correctable action, if applicable. If the condition is not "user" correctable, the installation process is terminated and control is returned to DOS. At the conclusion of the installation process, a working copy of the BLRL programs should be on the target drive:[\path]. Check the LINSTALL NOTES and proceed with the BLRL LSETUP program. LINSTALL PROGRAM NOTES: 1. The LINSTALL program does not modify or check your system's AUTOEXEC.BAT or CONFIG.SYS files. The "bootable" DOS, either from a floppy diskette or in the "root" directory of the hard disk, must contain a CONFIG.SYS file with these (minimum) commands: FILES = 25 BUFFERS = 25 2. If your "bootable" DOS does not contain a CONFIG.SYS file, refer to the DOS manual chapter describing how to configure your system and how to produce this file. An alternative is to copy the sample CONFIG.SYS file from the BLRL INSTALL disk to your "bootable" DOS. 3. If you add or modify the CONFIG.SYS file on your "bootable" DOS, it will be necessary to restart DOS before executing the BLRL programs. BLRL III User's Guide -- Evaluation Copy Page 5 BLRL III LSETUP PROGRAM: This program creates the BLRSETUP.PRO file that is used to retain and pass system configuration parameters to the BLRL programs. These system attributes are in this file: o Display/Monitor color information o Printer information and printer font codes o BLRL data drive information -- i.e., drive and path for league data This program must be run at least once and must be the first program run when setting up the Bowling League Record System. The attributes may be changed as often as necessary by rerunning the program. If you had responded "Y" to the BLRSETUP question during the installation process, skip to the following paragraphs, as the LINSTALL program sets up the correct paths for program execution. Before running the LSETUP program, check that the BLRL system programs are on the default drive:[\path]; enter drive:[\path] LSETUP.EXE from the default drive:[\path]. (On a floppy system, the drive:[\path] for the LSETUP.EXE could be where the LINSTALL disk is located; on a hard disk system, both the default and the drive:[\path] for the LSETUP.EXE program could be the same -- e.g., B:\LSETUP.EXE or C:\BLRL\LSETUP.EXE). If the BLRSETUP.PRO file exists on the default drive, the warning message "THIS PROGRAM WILL OVERWRITE THE BLRSETUP.PRO FILE ON YOUR PROGRAM DISK. OK TO CONTINUE (Y/N)?" is displayed. A response other than "Y" terminates the program without changing the attributes of the BLRSETUP.PRO file. A "Y" response presents a series of display screens allowing the user to respecify system attributes. o DISPLAY/MONITOR INFORMATION SELECT DISPLAY TYPE FROM THE FOLLOWING: 1 MONO DISPLAY 2 COLOR DISPLAY ENTER EITHER 1 OR 2 TO INDICATE DISPLAY TYPE A response of "1" proceeds to the next attribute selection. A response of "2" allows the user to set both foreground and background colors using a color palette. BLRL III User's Guide -- Evaluation Copy Page 6 o DISPLAY/MONITOR INFORMATION (continued) SELECT FOREGROUND COLOR FROM THE FOLLOWING: 1 (Black) 2 (Blue) 3 (Green) 4 (Cyan) 5 (Red) 6 (Magenta) 7 (Brown) 8 (White) 9 (Grey) 10 (Light Blue) 11 (Light Green) 12 (Light Cyan) 13 (light Red) 14 (Light Magenta) 15 (Yellow) 16 (High Intensity White) ENTER NUMBER FOR FOREGROUND COLOR SELECTION After foreground color selection, a background color palette is presented. SELECT BACKGROUND COLOR FROM THE FOLLOWING: 1 (Black) 2 (Blue) 3 (Green) 4 (Cyan) 5 (Red) 6 (Magenta) 6 (Brown) 7 (White) ENTER NUMBER FOR BACKGROUND COLOR SELECTION After foreground and background color selections, sample text is displayed. NORMAL TEXT WILL APPEAR LIKE THIS REVERSE TEXT WILL APPEAR LIKE THIS DO YOU LIKE THE COLORS (Y/N)?" A "Y" response proceeds to the next attribute selection. Any other response repeats the display monitor information selections. o PRINTER INFORMATION SELECT PRINTER CODE TYPE FROM THE FOLLOWING: 1 C.ITOH 8510 TYPE PRINTER CODES 2 EPSON MX/FX 80 TYPE PRINTER CODES 3 OKIDATA MICROLINE 91/92 TYPE PRINTER CODES 4 IBM PROPRINTER TYPE PRINTER CODES 5 NONE OF THE ABOVE PRINTER TYPE CODES ENTER NUMBER FOR TYPE OF PRINTER CODES BLRL III User's Guide -- Evaluation Copy Page 7 o PRINTER INFORMATION (continued) A response of numbers 1 to 4 proceeds to the Test Printer Codes message. A response of 5 allows the user to define printer codes. PLEASE REFER TO THE PRINTER MANUAL AND INPUT THE DECIMAL CODE SEQUENCE REQUESTED. IF MORE THAN ONE NUMBER IS REQUIRED, SEPARATE THE NUMBERS WITH THE PLUS (+) SIGN -- e.g., 27+15, 27+45+1, 27+88, 27+89, ETC. ENTER CODE FOR COMPRESSED PRINT: ENTER CODE TO CLEAR COMPRESSED PRINT (RETURN TO NORMAL PRINT): ENTER CODE FOR DOUBLE WIDTH PRINT: ENTER CODE TO CLEAR DOUBLE WIDTH PRINT: ENTER CODE TO BEGIN UNDERLINE PRINT: ENTER CODE TO STOP (CLEAR) UNDERLINE PRINT: The message "TEST PRINTER CODES (Y/N)?" is displayed. A "Y" response produces a print sample using the printer/codes selected. An "N" response proceeds to the next attribute selection. If the print sample is incorrect, refer to your printer manual and verify the print codes listed. Change or correct selections and rerun the print test. If the print codes persist in being incorrect, try using selection #4 (IBM Proprinter) and rerun the print test. o BLRL DATA DRIVE INFORMATION "WHICH drive:[\path] WILL CONTAIN THE BLRL DATA FILES?" Enter the appropriate drive:[\path] information. This attribute is used to access, update and maintain BLRL data files during the bowling schedule. It is suggested that the data files be located on a different drive:[\path] from the BLRL programs for increased system performance. If desired however, both the BLRL programs and BLRL data files could coexist on the same drive:[\path] provided sufficient disk storage is available for both the BLRL programs and league data files. BLRL III User's Guide -- Evaluation Copy Page 8 o BLRL LSETUP PROFILE This screen is presented to summarize user selections and allow final acceptance of the input prior to creating the BLRSETUP.PRO file on the default drive:[\path]. BOWLING LEAGUE RECORD SYSTEM III (time) *** BLRL SETUP PROGRAM *** (date) THE FOLLOWING SYSTEM PROFILE WILL BE USED BY THE BLRL PROGRAMS: 1. THE PRIMARY DISPLAY IS A (monographic or color) MONITOR 2. THE FOREGROUND AND BACKGROUND COLORS ARE AS DISPLAYED NOW 3. YOUR PRINTER IS (printer type) Note: If the printer type is user defined, the list of decimal codes would be listed with their corresponding meanings here. 4. THE BLRL DATA FILES ARE ON drive:[\path] (DOS path for data files) IS THE PROFILE CORRECT (Y/N)? A "Y" response generates the BLRSETUP.PRO file on the BLRL program drive:[\path] and the program terminates normally. Any other response displays the message "WHICH NUMBER IS INCORRECT?". Allowing the user to change that attribute(s). After the change is made, the updated profile summary screen is displayed again. This completes the BLRL LSETUP program procedure; the end result should be a file named BLRSETUP.PRO on the default drive:[\path] for the BLRL programs. If initiating the system for the first time, proceed to Starting The Bowling League Record System otherwise begin BLRL program execution with the revised parameters. BLRL III User's Guide -- Evaluation Copy Page 9 STARTING THE BOWLING LEAGUE RECORD SYSTEM: To start the Bowling League Record System, the default drive:[\path] must contain the BLRL programs and the BLRL data files must be available, ready and not "write protected" on the data drive:[\path] defined in the BLRSETUP.PRO file The main program, L019.EXE, may be started by entering BLRL.BAT (or L019.EXE) via the keyboard or from another batch program. The BLRL.BAT requests date and time before calling the program. Regardless of the method used, a SHAREWARE screen followed by a copyright screen then the MAIN SELECTION MENU should be displayed. If the BLRL programs do not start correctly, check the following notes and the PROBLEM DETERMINATION section of the User's Guide. STARTING BLRL NOTES: 1. The BLRL programs will not execute without the BLRSETUP.PRO file present on the default drive:[\path]: if the file is unavailable, a message is displayed and program execution is terminated. If the data drive:[\path] is unavailable, DOS issues an error message and terminates execution. 2. It is recommended that the system date and time be current whenever the Bowling League Record System is executed in order for DOS to "time-stamp" the current date and time of updated data files. BLRL III User's Guide -- Evaluation Copy Page 10 MAIN SELECTION MENU: After the copyright screen containing the BLRL version, date, copy number, and, author information, the Main Selection Menu should be displayed. If an error occurs, review STARTING BLRL NOTES and PROBLEM DETERMINATION. BOWLING LEAGUE RECORD System III (time) *** MAIN SELECTION MENU *** (date) 1. ENTER WEEKLY SCORES 2. PRINT LEAGUE STANDING SHEET 3. PRINT SORTED LEAGUE AVERAGE LISTING 4. INITIALIZE A LEAGUE RECORD SYSTEM 5. THE LEAGUE BOWLING SCHEDULE 6. PRINT TEAM AND BOWLER RECORDS 7.

END BOWLING LEAGUE RECORD SYSTEM - RETURN TO DOS ENTER SELECTION NUMBER: _ The Main Selection Menu presents the list of programs available. Selection is made by entering the number of the program/operation desired. If an incorrect selection is made, the program prompts for reentry. Operation of the selection begins automatically and remains in control until the operation is completed or is prematurely terminated. PFK 10 is recognized by the BLRL programs as an "abort" program key which prematurely terminates program operation. Depressing this key during operation stops processing and returns control to the Main Selection Menu. If the program is awaiting a prompt response and this key is depressed, press the <enter> key to complete the prompt response. All selections return to the Main Selection Menu upon normal completion or premature ending: normal exit to DOS is via Main Menu Selection 9. The BLRL programs should always be terminated through the Main Selection Menu to assure that all data files have been properly closed for subsequent start-up. INITIALIZING THE LEAGUE RECORD SYSTEM: The initialization process must be one of the first steps in setting up a league record system. Pertinent league, team and bowler data is entered into the BLRL system using a sequence of prompts for data input. The data is retained in the IPL.HDR file for subsequent use by all programs to reduce user intervention during operation. BLRL III User's Guide -- Evaluation Copy Page 11 INITIALIZING THE LEAGUE RECORD SYSTEM: (continued) The screen format, developed during the initialization process, ends up looking like this: BOWLING LEAGUE RECORD System III *** INITIALIZATION PROGRAM LOAD *** 1. LEAGUE NAME: 2. PRES NAME: 3. PRES PHONE: 4. SECTY NAME: 5. SECTY PHONE: 6. BWLNG ESTAB: 7. ESTAB PHONE: 8. FEMale, MALe, MIXed LEAGUE: 9. HDCP LEAGUE (Y/N): 10. HDCP BASE: 11. HDCP PERCENT: 12.

(time) LEAGUE: (league name) (date) Not all data fields may be applicable to your particular league; the system is designed to skip certain fields based upon a prior response. The program prompts for reentry if an entry error is detected. During initial data entry, it is not possible to go back and change a prior field entry. Changing field data is allowed after the last entry and the review input data message is displayed. If an IPL.HDR file exists on the default drive:[\path], the warning message "INITIALIZATION DATA ALREADY EXISTS FOR (league name). ENTER Y TO PROCEED: ANYTHING ELSE WILL RETURN TO THE MAIN SELECTION MENU" is displayed. A "Y" response begins the process and the existing file is overwritten with the new data. It is suggested that the first time user review all the data requested and have the appropriate responses ready for input. Generally, most of the responses are specified in the league rules. The responses to fields 1 through 7 are used to generate league report headings and titles. Names should not exceed 30 characters, including spaces. If a name or phone number is omitted, the program provides "NONAME ..." or "NO PHONE" for the entry. BLRL III User's Guide -- Evaluation Copy Page 12 INITIALIZING THE LEAGUE RECORD SYSTEM: (continued) The response to field 8 is used to separate female and male score calculations and for report generation. Enter "FEM", "MAL", or "MIX", depending upon the type of league. The response to field 9 determines whether fields 10 through 12 is presented. Field 10 refers to the bowling average which has a zero handicap -- normally, this would be an average of 200 pins per game or more. For a mixed league the program prompts for both male and female input -- i.e., "MALE, FEMALE:". Input both responses separated by a comma -- e.g. 200, 180. Field 11 is a percentage used to compute bowler handicap. For a mixed league, the program prompts for both male and female input -- i.e., "MALE, FEMALE:". Input both responses separated by a comma -- e.g. 80, 90. Field 12 is the maximum bowler handicap allowed per game, regardless of the computed handicap, and is a number between the handicap base and zero. (If unknown, it is suggested to use the handicap base multiplied by the handicap percentage.) For a mixed league, the program prompts for both male and female input -- i.e., "MALE, FEMALE:". Input both responses separated by a comma -- e.g. 60, 100. Fields 13 through 15 deal with the league season schedule and whether the league is bowling a "split season"; field 13 must not exceed 10. The response to field 14 determines if field 15 is presented and whether certain statistics are reset at the start of the half. Field 16 refers to the number of teams in the league and must not exceed 6. Field 17 refers to the number of bowlers assigned to each team and must not exceed 4. Field 18 refers to the total number of team points awarded weekly for team wins. The response must be a number greater than zero and is used to verify and record team scoring input and position standings. Field 19 refers to the number of games a league bowler is required to bowl in order to establish an average in this league. This must be a number greater than zero which will be used to compute and post an interim average until the required number of games have been bowled. Field 20 is used during league standing report generation to post team and bowler high game and series scores. (The number of positions posted may be based upon the league enumeration place awards, plus one.) The response must not exceed the number of teams in the league. (See Initialization Notes) BLRL III User's Guide -- Evaluation Copy Page 13 INITIALIZING THE LEAGUE RECORD SYSTEM: (continued) The response to field 21 determines whether or not a team or bowler is recognized for both high series and game scores on the league standing report. An "N" response allows posting of high series and high game scores to the same team or bowler; a "Y" response does not. (See Initialization Notes) The scores for fields 22 through 29 are used to list above average bowler game and series scores rolled on the week of the league standing sheet. (The higher the score entered for each catagory, the fewer bowlers and their scores will be listed.) Responses 8 and 9 determines which scores are requested. After the last entry, the review data message is displayed. An "N" response allows entries to be changed by entering a field number and making the change. The review message is redisplayed after each change allowing repetitive changes. A "Y" response proceeds to the next phase of the initialization process. The next phase of the initialization process generates team and bowler records for the league. The process starts with the first team and its bowling order (team lineup) and ends with the last team. The system assigns identification numbers to each league member during the process and requests bowler names, "book average" (season starting average), and sex if a mixed league. All team and bowler names are limited to 30 characters, including spaces; bowler names must be listed as First name (blank) Initial(s) (blank) and Surname. If Senior (SR), Junior (JR), or other is used to distinguish bowlers with the same surname, use a hyphen (-) to separate the designation from the surname. If a team or bowler name is omitted, the program creates a name based upon the team number and/or bowler position. If a bowler's surname is omitted, the program creates a surname for the bowler. When all teams and respective lineups have been entered, the program displays the message "ARE THERE ANY SUBSTITUTES TO ENTER AT THIS TIME (Y/N)? _". On a "Y" response, the name, book average, and, sex of each substitute is requested; substitutes are entered one by one until the response "*Q" is detected in the name field. On an "N" response, or "*Q" following a "Y" response, the program generates a series of "dummy" team and bowler detail records then returns to the Main Menu. INITIALIZATION NOTES: 1. It is suggested that the "LEAGUE SORTED LISTING" program be used after completing the initialization to list the league bowlers and to verify data input. 2. If the Series over Game option is selected and the number of highlite positions is greater than one half the number of teams in the league, the highlite number is reduced to one half the number of teams in the league. 3. It is suggested that the BLRL data files (*.HDR and *.DTL) is backed up after initialization is completed and before scores are entered. BLRL III User's Guide -- Evaluation Copy Page 14 LEAGUE BOWLING SCHEDULE: Creating the League Bowling Schedule should immediately follow (or precede) the initialization process. It is recommended that the ABC or WIBC LEAGUE SCHEDULE for the number of teams is used to create the league bowling schedule. This schedule is used to: o Track and verify the league bowling week and corresponding bowl dates. o Order team and bowler scoring input based upon team pairings. o Track a split season schedule. o Track and post most improved bowler scoring. o Post the future bowling schedule on the league standing sheet. o Produce the league "recap" sheets. o Facilitate the edit/update feature for team and bowler records. If a schedule exists, the program responds by displaying the message: "CREATE (C); UPDATE (U); PRINT (P); OR QUIT (Q) THE BOWLING SCHEDULE?". Program prompts, based upon the response, are subsequently displayed. An invalid response generates an error message and redisplays the option message. If no schedule exists, the program responds by prompting with a lane assignment mask and messages to create a league schedule. It is essential to follow the mask alignment explicitly when inputting lane and team numbers. After the lane assignments are entered, the program prompts for bowling dates and team pairs for the number of weeks inputted to the initialization record. Enter the lane assignments using the SPACE bar to align the input under the mask displayed and separate the lane pairs with the HYPHEN (-) key. The message "IS THE INPUT CORRECT AND PROPERLY ALIGNED? (Y/N)" is displayed after entry is completed. A "Y" response continues building the schedule week by week. Any other response repeats the lane assignment message. Following the lane assignments, the schedule of bowling dates and team pairs are entered week by week. The verify input message is repeated after each input completion. An "N" response allows reenty of the data. A "Y" response continues building the schedule. The program checks for valid team numbers in the schedule and whether the team pairings is non numeric data (position round information); messages are self explanatory. The process is repeated until all weeks have been entered. After the schedule has been entered, the message "PRINT THE BOWLING SCHEDULE DETAIL? (Y/N)" is displayed. A "Y" response initiates the print process; any other response displays the message "CREATE (C); UPDATE (U); PRINT (P); OR QUIT (Q) THE BOWLING SCHEDULE?". It is recommended that the PRINT (P) option is selected to print a copy of the schedule to verify dates and team pairings. BLRL III User's Guide -- Evaluation Copy Page 15 LEAGUE BOWLING SCHEDULE: (continued) If the CREATE (C) option is selected and a schedule exists, the message "A BOWLING SCHEDULE ALREADY EXISTS. ENTER (Y) TO RECREATE THE SCHEDULE." is displayed. A "Y" response begins the schedule creation process and overwrites the existing schedule; any other response repeats the selection option message. If the UPDATE (U) option is selected and a schedule exists the program responds with "CHANGE LANE NUMBERS? (Y/N)". A "Y" response allows the lane assignments to be changed; an "N" response does not. The program prompts for a week number to update and displays the bowl date and team pairings for that week. Subsequent message prompts allow both bowl date and team pairings to be changed for the week number. After each update is completed, the program verifies the updated input, updates the schedule and prompts for additional updates. If the PRINT (P) option is selected and a schedule exists, the program prompts for the number of copies to be printed. If the QUIT (Q) option is selected, control is returned to the Main Menu. If the UPDATE (U) or the PRINT (P) option is selected and there is no schedule, a warning message is displayed and the option message is repeated. BOWLING SCHEDULE NOTES: 1. It is very essential that lane assignments and team pairings follow the mask displayed explicitly. Use the SPACE bar and HYPHEN (-) to align lane and team pairings under the mask. (Refer to the sample schedule in PROBLEM DETERMINATION.) 2. It is recommended that a copy of the schedule be printed each time it is created or updated to verify the dates and team pairings. 3. Text information is allowed in place of team pairings for any week of the schedule. Text information is generally used to specify a position round or special event in the schedule. Text information must be changed to a team pairing schedule before scores can be entered for that week number. BLRL III User's Guide -- Evaluation Copy Page 16 ENTER WEEKLY SCORES: The Weekly Scores Program processes data necessary for maintaining and updating bowler and team scores. These functions are done by this program: o Team and bowler score input is keyed off the League Bowling Schedule. o A list of league substitutes is displayed during scores input using PFK 1. o Using PFK 2 during score entry of the first bowler of any team allows the user to stop entering weekly scores and resume score input at a later time. o Replace bowlers in a team lineup or add new league bowlers during team scores input. o Team and bowler total pins, number of games bowled, averages, and handicaps are recomputed and updated. o Team and bowler high game and high series score statistics (for scratch and handicap scores) are updated. o Team and bowler detail scores (by game) and team points won and lost for the entered week is archived. o Bowler game and series score hilite for the entered week is generated. o Improvement of bowler average (plus or minus), over 21 game or starting average, is recomputed and updated. Upon entry, a check is made to determine if the last weekly scores had been completed for all teams. If the STOP option was used during the last scores input, the program automatically responds with a resume message prompt giving options to resume, exit or cancel the STOP option. A positive response resumes score input without the date or week number prompt; a negative response displays the options of either exit or cancel the STOP option. Cancelling the STOP option, resumes normal operation. Normal program operation begins by prompting for the date or week bowled. After verifying the bowl date or week number, the program uses the bowling schedule and the team records to prompt for score input. The Weekly Scores Program allows for an absentee, substitute and/or replacement, and new league bowlers and their scores to be entered into the system during processing. For leagues bowling a split season schedule and the bowl date entered is the first week of the split season, a series of messages is displayed referring to specific team and bowler functions which may be reset to zero prior to entering scores. Based upon the league schedule, the program prompts for team score input by displaying one team member at a time in bowling position order.

At the cursor prompt, enter the bowler's game and series scores separately -- i.e., game score by game score followed by the series score. An arithmetic check verifies that the total of the game scores entered equal the series score. If the check is correct, the bowler statistics of pins, games and average is updated and the next team member in the lineup is displayed. If the check is incorrect, a message is displayed allowing game and series score to be reentered. If a bowler was absent and no substitute was used, enter a score of zero for each game not bowled followed by the series score used in the team computation. After the series score is entered, the program prompts for "blind" scores for each game score of zero. A game with zero score and the "blind" score is not used in the calculation of the bowler statistics. If the bowler displayed was absent and an existing league substitute bowler was used, enter a score of 999 in GM1. If the substitue's ID is unknown and is not a new league member, use PFK 1 to view the list of league substitutes using the Down and Up arrows. After the entry, the program prompts for the existing league substitutes' identification number; enter the ID number as Sxx. The substitute bowler statistics is displayed in place of the absent team member. Enter the substitute's game and series scores as described above. If the bowler displayed was replaced in the team lineup by an existing league substitute bowler then enter a score of 999 in GM1. (PFK 1 may be used to view the list of substitute bowler names.) After the entry, the program prompts for the existing league substitute's identification number; enter the ID number as Rxx. After the ID entry, the program requests verification for the team replacement. A "Y" response changes the team lineup -- i.e., the replacement goes into the team lineup and the replaced bowler becomes a league substitute. Any other response redisplays the enter substitute or replacement identification number message. The replacement bowlers' name and score statistics replaces the team member display. Enter the replacement's game and series scores as described above. BLRL III User's Guide -- Evaluation Copy Page 18 ENTER WEEKLY SCORES: (continued) If the substitute or replacement bowler is a new league bowler, refer to display line 4 and enter the ID number as Sxx or Rxx using the NEXT BOWLER ID NUMBER shown. After the entry, the program requests verification that the ID number is for a new league bowler. Any response other than a "Y" redisplays the enter substitute or replacement bowler ID message. A "Y" response displays a series of messages allowing entry of the new bowler's name, book average and sex. After the last entry, the new bowler replaces the team member display. Enter the new bowler's game and series scores as described above. After the team lineup scores have been entered, the team game and series scratch scores is totaled. If a handicap league, the program prompts for team game handicap scores and requests verification of input before team pinfall, scratch plus handicap, by game and series is totaled. After total pinfall, the program prompts for team points won then displays team points won and lost and requests verification of input. A response other than "Y" to the verification messages allows input reentry. After the team points have been entered and verified, the next team in the schedule is displayed. The enter scores process is repeated for all teams in the schedule. When completed, control is returned to the Main Menu. ENTER WEEKLY SCORES NOTES: 1. If the STOP/RESTART score option is used, do not update any of the BLRS data files between the time the STOP and RESTART option was used. If any scores or team points need correction, use the EDIT/UPDATE PROGRAM after the scores process has been completed and before printing a League Standing Sheet. 2. If the Weekly Scores Program does not appear to be following the league bowling schedule, check the league bowling schedule for the following: o Duplicate and/or missing team numbers in the schedule. o Lane and/or team number alignment inconsistent with mask. Use the update function in the LEAGUE BOWLING SCHEDULE program to make schedule corrections. 3. It is recommended that two diskettes, labeled ODD WEEK and EVEN WEEK, is used to backup the data files (*.HDR and *.DTL) after entering weekly scores and exiting the BLRL system. 4. If the Weekly Scores Program is prematurely terminated for whatever reason, team and bowler data integrity is jeopardized. To restore data integrity, it will be necessary to restore team and bowler data files to a prior level before reentering league scores. If the data files are not restored, bowler and team statistics will no longer be valid. BLRL III User's Guide -- Evaluation Copy Page 19 PRINT LEAGUE STANDING SHEET: The League Standing Sheet program generates the season to date league standings and statistics. o The team standings based upon points won and reporting team total pinfall, average, high game and high series scores. o Bowler statistics listed by team and bowler position; reporting last series score, average, handicap, games to date, total pinfall, high game, high series, number of 200's and 600's bowled. o Same statistics for substitute bowlers. o Highlite of team high game and high series scores. o Highlite of bowler high game and high series. o Highlite of most improved bowler averages (listed after 21 game scores recorded). o Highlite recognition of above average game and series scores. o Future league schedule listing the next 4 weeks of lane and team assignments.

Refer to the User's manual." is displayed whenever BLRL is executed. The probability is that the BLRSETUP.PRO file is not on the BLRL program disk drive:[\path] but was generated on some other disk drive:[\path]. Try to locate the BLRSETUP.PRO file and copy the file onto the BLRL program drive:[\path] or, optionally, rerun the LSETUP program. o Getting the message "Path/File access error" when trying to access programs from the BLRL Main Selection Menu. Recheck the BLRL data drive information on the BLRSETUP.PRO file by rerunning the LSETUP program. The data DRIVE:[\path] parameter must exist and "point" to where the BLRL data files are located. If the data DRIVE:[\path] is correct, check the BLRL LINSTALL program notes. o Scoring input is not being keyed off the league schedule -- i.e., WEEKLY SCORES PROGRAM not following the league bowling schedule.
