- THE 1994 FOOTBALL GUIDE!
-
- (A SHAREWARE Program by DALTONWARE)
- May 1994
-
- The FOOTBALL GUIDE is perfect for people who love NFL Football!
- Here is why:
-
- 1. Up to 20 Players can compete in The FOOTBALL GUIDE OFFICE POOL.
- Each player makes his or her picks of the winning teams for the
- week. The FOOTBALL GUIDE also makes its selections and when the
- week's results are entered (in an easy-enter format), the FOOTBALL
- GUIDE ranks all the players (and itself) based on total number of
- correct picks for the season. Can you out-pick the FOOTBALL GUIDE?
-
- It's perfect for the Office Pool. You can even pass the disk
- around and have each player make his/her picks on it without using
- paper! Just printout the OFFICE POOL SUMMARY BOARD for rankings.
-
- 2. The FOOTBALL GUIDE keeps NFL team standings (displayed by
- division, by conference or overall).
-
- 3. The FOOTBALL GUIDE displays the season schedule by week, by
- team and Monday nights updated with results entered.
-
- 4. The FOOTBALL GUIDE makes Predictions in a number of ways:
- - FOOTBALL GUIDE Predictions (based on results to date).
- - You make the predictions.
- - You make the predictions with FBG assistance.
- - Hypothetical or non-scheduled match-ups.
-
- The FOOTBALL GUIDE uses 4 variables in its predictions:
- - Won/Lost records
- - Points For/Against Ratios
- - Winning Streaks (or "Hot" teams)
- - Home Team advantage
-
- As results are entered each week, the FOOTBALL GUIDE uses this
- information to make its predictions for the next week.
-
- 5. Printouts of all schedules, standings, predictions and Office
- Pool Summary Board.
-
- 6. Easy entry of weekly results by using the <SPACE> and <ENTER>
- keys to select teams (no typing).
-
