Please allow at least two weeks for delivery, meaning the program should be ordered after the fourth consecutive week of use (Berlin Software is not making or implying that the two week delivery is guaranteed). The current price for the 1990-91 fall bowling season is $45.00 plus $5 for shipping and handling. Please call after this time frame to ensure the correct price and address: BERLIN SOFTWARE 4841 Woodbury Drive Erie, PA 16510 (814) 825-1122 - 2 - C O M P U T E S C O R E - I I Chapter 1 INSTALLATION 1.1 Making a working copy Compute Score II can be ran with just about any type of IBM or compatible system. A hard disk system is highly recommended. If the computer system does not have a hard disk it should have two drives, one drive will contain the program disk while the data disk is in the other drive. The data disk can be the same disk as the program disk if a high capacity disk is used or if your league is small. There is no rigid format that you must follow except to make sure there is enough room for the data. If this program is the "Starter Pack" and you are familiar with the DOS commands to make a subdirectory and copy files you may use the DOS commands. However the actual program does contain an invisible copy protect file that must be moved with the INSTALL program. To install a working copy of the program three things must be known: 1) Source drive (A:) 2) Destination drive (B: or C:) 3) Subdirectory (CSII) - For hard disk system only NOTE : ( ) shows normal default values The source drive is the drive where the original disk is placed. The destination drive is the drive or hard disk you wish to place the working copy of the program. For hard disk systems the proper way of installing the program is into a subdirectory which should be "CSII", unless, of course, you have a good reason to put it into another subdirectory. Assuming the source drive is (A:) place the MANUAL DISK in that drive and type the following command: A:INSTALL <Enter> The MANUAL and PROGRAM disk is the same disk for the 3.5" inch disks. After the install program is loaded replace the MANUAL disk with the PROGRAM disk. Answer the above questions by using your arrow keys to move to each answer or press <Enter> after each answer. When all the questions are answered correctly press the <F10> key to continue. - 3 - C O M P U T E S C O R E - I I If this is the actual program and NOT the starter pack another question will appear. This refers to the copy protection on the purchased program. It is important to understand how this protection works. The protection is a separate item from the program. The program looks for the protection on the disk it is being executed from. If it can not find it the program will not work. However if the program itself is placed on a disk that contains this protection file or the protection file itself is moved to the disk the program will start to work. In other words, if an upgrade of the program was sent to you it would not work on that particular disk. Once copied to the original disk or your working disk (that contained this copy protect file) it would start to work. The question that will appear if this is not the Starter Pack is "Move Copy Protection". Type <I> for "Install" to move the protection to the working disk. Another note: the program itself can be in any subdirectory or moved around on the same disk and will still work, the protection is not limited to any one subdirectory. The next menu will ask to copy certain files. This first question deals with the program itself. Answer yes to copy this file. The next question refers to the on-line help. It is wise to copy this file in all cases unless your system only contains one normal size disk drive in which you need room for your data. The third question refers to the printer parameters, answer yes to move them to the working copy. Compute Score II comes with all ABC schedules ranging from 4 to 48 teams. These files are relatively small in size and if there is ample room they should be copied over to the working disk. However, once again, if using a single drive system where you are trying to reserve room for the data, copy only the files you need. Enter the first schedule you wish to copy (4 or greater) and then the last schedule you wish to copy (48 or less). All schedules between and including this number will be copied. When all the questions are correct press <F10> to continue. If you are familiar with the DOS commands you may copy or delete schedule files on the working disk as you feel fit. 1.2 Data Disk The data disk is the disk where the information pertaining to a league is stored. It may be stored on any formatted disk as long as there is enough room to store all nine files Compute Score II creates for each league. It is difficult to say how much room a league needs because it is determined by the amount of "team files" and the number of weeks the league bowls. However, a blank normal 360Kb disk should handle any size league. - 4 - C O M P U T E S C O R E - I I If the computer system has a hard disk drive it is highly recommended that you save the data to it. It will increase the speed considerably. However if you must store the information on floppy it must be formatted first. Refer to your DOS manual under the "FORMAT" command for more information. 1.3 Removing the Copy Protection This section only refers to the purchased program. It may be necessary to remove the protection from the working program. Some of the reasons why it would be: moving the program to a new computer, reorganizing / optimizing your hard disk, or when the program is not going to be used for awhile. The thing to remember is that the protection copy file is an item by itself which can be moved anytime. The program files can be moved or copied as much as you want (this statement does not imply or mean you can pass out copies of the purchase program, see the beginning of the manual for the legal conditions). It will not work if it can not find the protection file. This file can be added anytime and the program will start to work as soon as it can find this file. To remove the protection file run the INSTALL program. Answer the first three questions just like in the original case: Original program disk, Working copy and Subdirectory. Then type <U> at the question "Move Copy Protection" for uninstall. No program files will be move just the hidden copy protection file. Note: the copy protection file can only be moved from or to the original program disk. To move the protection file from computer A to computer B first uninstall it from computer A to the original disk and then install it from the original disk to computer B. 1.4 Running Compute Score II If you have a hard disk system you first must go to the subdirectory with the DOS command for "Change Directory" (CD), type: C:>CD\CSII <Enter> Compute Score will normally detect what type of monitor you are using (Color versus Black & White). In most cases just type: CSII <Enter> to get the program running. If you have a color monitor and it is coming up in Black & White you can force color. If you have a Black & White monitor and you can not read everything, can not see the cursor or it just seems everything is screwed up you need to - 5 - C O M P U T E S C O R E - I I force the Black & White mode; use the following commands instead of the above command: Force Black & White mode : CSII B <Enter> Force Color mode : CSII C <Enter> For advance users: if you are installing CSII to a menu program or part of a BAT file use the above force commands to eliminate any problems. It may come up in color most of the time and then out of the blue it will come up in Black & White. This is due to programs that are executed before CSII and they do not properly set the monitor type when returning to DOS. - 6 - C O M P U T E S C O R E - I I Chapter 2 Starting a New League 2.1 Choosing a File Name After typing the "CSII" or equivalent command the Compute Score II logo will appear. Press any key to continue. To start a new league file create a file name (up to eight letters or numbers). If you are only keeping track of a few leagues then pick a name that relates to the league. It would also be helpful to included the year as part of the file name. This will enable you to keep track of the different files from year to year. If this program is used by a bowling center then setting up a coding system will help in organizing the file names. Example would be to use the first lanes a team bowls on followed by the first two letters of the day followed by the shift. The format for typing a new league file name is to type the drive in which the data is going to be stored followed by a ":" followed by the new league file name. Note NO spaces between these parameters. Also if the data drive is the same as the program drive just type the name of the new league file. Examples are as follows: B:SAMPLE90 (Data is different than the program drive) SAMPLE90 (Data is the same as the program drive) After typing in the new league file name type <Enter>. Compute Score will display a message if this file name is correct; press the <Y> key if correct. 2.2 File Parameters After entering a correct new league file name the "File Parameter" window will appear on the screen. Each file created has certain information so that it limits the size of the file it creates. Once these parameters are set and F10 (CREATE FILE) is pressed they can not be changed. So answer the 3 questions that are display with care. "Max weeks bowled" are the total amount of weeks the league could possible bowl for the season. If in doubt always go with the highest number. It never hurts to go higher, it just eats up more - 7 - C O M P U T E S C O R E - I I disk spaces. To go to the next question press the <Enter> key. If you need to go back to anyone of the questions use the <Up> and <Down> arrow keys. Also if you ever need help in any section of the program press <F1>. This will give help for a particular section. Pressing <F1> twice or anytime in the help window will bring up the complete help index. Notice when the highlight moves to the "Max file size" the cursor disappears. This is standard throughout Compute Score when there are answers inside a pop up window. To view all possible answers to this question press the <Enter> key. A pop up window will appear with all possible answers. PLEASE NOTE: THIS QUESTION DOES NOT REFER TO HOW MANY TEAMS IN A LEAGUE. It refers to how much file space to reserve for the maximum number of teams a league might have plus SUBS. You can enter up to eight subs per extra team. Also notice the team file space that can be reserved are in lots of six teams. A good rule of thumb is add at least two extra teams over the actual number of teams in the league. Once again, it will not hurt to go to high, it just eats up more disk space. The last question is straight forward. Enter the number of games that are bowled in a given night or day. Once all the questions are correct; review them one more time; and then press <F10> to continue. Compute-Score will create and reserve all the space need for the entire season. - 8 - C O M P U T E S C O R E - I I Chapter 3 Profile / Setup Compute Score II handles the differences between leagues within the Profile Menu window. After a new league file is created or <Alt> P is pressed from the main screen this window will appear. There are seven sections of information: General Info, League Parameters, Point System, Division/Handicap, Schedule Builder, Award Setup and Printer Setup. Move the highlighter on the screen with the <Up> and <Down> arrow keys. Press <Enter> to view and edit the questions of a given section. Press <Esc> or <F10> to leave a section. Pressing the first letter on the menu will move the highlighter to that category. 3.1 General Information General Information is information that will appear on the reports such as secretary's and president's names and phone numbers. The last question "BACKUP DRIVE" will prompt Compute-Score II to automatically backup every time you quit a file. Leave this field blank if you do not wish to be prompted, else place the letter of your backup drive (ex: A or B). Press <F10> when finished with this section. 3.2 League Parameters This is the main section where you setup Compute Score II to handle the many variation of Leagues. Each question should be answered with care before proceeding to any other part of the program. This section will require you to have full knowledge of your league rules concerning scoring and handicap procedures. 3.2.0.1 Number of Teams The first question is "Number of Teams" which is the actual number of teams that bowl in the league. This must be an even number ranging from 2 to maximum file size (48 teams at the most). - 9 - C O M P U T E S C O R E - I I 3.2.0.2 Number of Bowlers "Number of Bowlers" refers to the actual number of players that can actual bowl on a team on any given night, usually 4 or 5. Must range between 1 and 6. 3.2.0.3 First Lane In small clubs or where the league uses the whole house the answer to "First Lane" will be 1. However, if your league starts in the middle of the house enter the first (lowest) lane number. If your league rotates in the middle of the season enter the first lane at the beginning of the season. When it comes time to rotate to a different section of the houses then at that point enter the new first lane. 3.2.0.4 No. for Last Avg "No. for Last Avg" is a complicated question. It is complicated because this question applies to a situation that does not usually come about. As a result it never really gets considered. If it confuses you leave this parameter set to 1. This question refers to a bowler showing up for his/her first time of the season with his/her handicap (or team handicap) being based on last year's average. In a normal situation all the games are bowled. The following week his/her average is based on the new games that were just bowled. What happens if the person did not bowl ALL the required games, he/she only bowled one game the first week. Do you base the handicap for the second week on that one gamed bowled or do you still base it on last years average. Compute Score II handles both situations. The parameter should be set to 1 if the handicap is to be based on that one game. If your league requires that you complete 3 games before using the average for the new season then set this parameter to 3. In a few cases some leagues base their handicap on last years average until 21 games are bowled. In this case set this parameter to 21. 3.2.0.5 Absent: Average minus pins The "Absent: Average minus pins" question refers to the amount of pins that are subtracted from a bowler's average when absent. The normal ruling for most leagues is use their average minus ten pins. If this is the case set this parameter to 10. If this parameter is set above 50 it places a "%" sign after the number. When marking a bowler absent it will take their average times that percent, rounding the result (.5 or greater will be rounded to the higher value). For example if your league rule states to take 90% of a bowler's average when that bowler is absent then enter "90" in this field. - 10 - C O M P U T E S C O R E - I I 3.2.0.6 Improved Average Notice when the highlighter is at the "Improved Average" question the cursor disappears. This is standard in the program meaning that there are a limited amount of answers to the question. To view and then choose one of these answers press the <Enter> key when at this field. If the answer is correct press either the <Up> or <Down> arrow key to skip over the question. There are two choices to this question. When calculating "Most Improved Average" Compute Score II can base it on last year average. If this is the case pick "Last Year" else choose "This Year". If "Most Improved Average" is based on "Last Year" but a particular bowler does not have a last year average his/her improved average will be based on this years average after a given amount of games. 3.2.0.7 No. Games for this year average "No. Games For Avg" is the number of games needed to establish an average for "Most Improved Average" if the above question is set to "This Year" average or a particular player does not have a lasts year average. Compute Score II needs to know how many games it takes to establish an average for "Most Improved Average". Normal for most leagues is 21 games. 3.2.0.8 Handicap Type Once again, the cursor will disappear at this question. Press <Enter> to view and choose the options: Player, Team or None. "Player" handicap is a handicap system that the base score is based on an individual bowlers average. Example of this is if the base score is 190 or 200. "Team" handicap is a handicap system were all the players averages are added and then they are based on a team score of something like 900 or 1000. If your league is a scratch league which does not use any handicap choose "None". "None" handicap may also be used if you need to enter the team handicap manually (In case of complex handicap rules that Compute Score II does not currently handle). If "Team" handicap or "None" is chosen then there will not be any individual handicap making all individual high scores based on handicap useless. 3.2.0.9 Use Differences in Handicap Some leagues, when looking at the two teams that bowl each other, one team will always get zero handicap. This mainly happens when a league is almost like a scratch league where by the team high scores are based on the actual team totals not the handicap team totals. In any case, if one team ALWAYS gets 0 as a handicap set the parameter to "Use Diff. in Hcp" to "Yes". - 11 - C O M P U T E S C O R E - I I 3.2.0.10 High Team Scores "High Team Scores" are based on the games that are save into the team history file. The two options are: the team total scores with the team handicap add to it or the actual team total scores. When viewing a team's history you will see a column labeled "Hcp". If you choose to save the actual team total scores then adding the number in the "Hcp" column to the team's scores will give the team's total score after handicap. However, if you decide to save the team total scores after adding in the handicap than subtract the "Hcp" from the team's history scores gives the actual team score. Chose "Actual" to save the team totals before handicap or choose "Handicap" to base the team high scores on the handicap team totals. 3.2.0.11 Over Game & Over Series Compute Score II keeps track of the number of games a bowler will shoot over or equal to a given score. Set the "Over Game" parameter to that game. A good number for this field would be "200" but if the league is a women or junior league you might go with a smaller number. Compute Score II does the same for series with the exception that there are three different ranges. Compute Score will only credit one game to one range. For example if the parameters are set to 500, 600, 700. A series of '625' would increase the number of 600's by one but it will NOT increase the 500's. If an 800 series was shot, with the given parameters, it would increase the number of 700's by one. Common parameters for an average league would be 500, 600, 700; a junior or women league would be 400, 500, 600; and a classic league would be 600, 700, 800. When finished press <F10> to get back to the "Profile Menu". 3.3 Point System From the "Profile Menu" move the highlighter to "Point System" and press the <Enter> key. This is where Compute Score II will know how many points to give a team or player for winning their games and series. It is broken down into two main sections; team points and player points. Each section is then broken down into two questions; points per game and points per series. Assuming its a three game league with no player points, the parameters for a 4 point league would be 1 point for team game, 1 point for team series with both the game and series for player points set to 0. For a 3 point league only set team game points to 1 and the rest of the questions to 0. For a 7 point league set team points per game to 2 and team points per series to 1. If your league gives points for bowler A on one team beating bowler A on the other team, bowler B beating bowler B, etc. set player points in the same manner. If not, these parameters must - 12 - C O M P U T E S C O R E - I I be set to 0. If player points are set then answer the question "Use hcp for Player Points". Note: you can only use handicap for player points if the team handicap is a player handicap. 3.4 Division / Handicap In the "Division / Handicap" section, from the profile menu, allows up to five different divisions. Divisions are mainly used to segregate the players' high scores. Normal divisions are: Men and Women; Bantams, Juniors & Seniors; etc. In case of a "player handicap" league (refer to above section under "Handicap Types") each division can have different handicap rules. After pressing <Enter> at "Division / Handicap" from the profile menu the cursor will be at "Division Name" question. Place any name up to ten characters in this field. The next question is the "Handicap Base". Note: If "Handicap Type" is set to "None" under the "League Parameters" the cursor will not move to any other questions. If your league handicap type is "Player" then enter a three digit value for the handicap base; 180, 190 or 200 are good examples. If your league handicap type is "Team" enter the team base for handicap; 800, 900 or 1000 as good examples. If your league uses the difference between the team averages (it may then use a percentage of that difference) use 0 as the base score. "Percent Under" refers to the percent of pins used for the handicap if the team's or player's average is lower then the base score. For "Team Handicaps" a percentage over handicap may be used. When a teams actual total averages are over the base it will give the other team that certain percentage over the base. If this happens one team in this given example will have 0 handicap. Leave "Minimum Score" and/or "Maximum Score" set to 0 to leave in active. If however your league, in this given example, has a "Player Handicap" and will only reward a handicap values for scores as low as 150 pin average then set "Minimum Score" to 150. This means if a bowler as a 140 average Compute Score II will base the handicap for this person on 150. "Maximum Score" works just like "Minimum Score" but in the opposite direction. Leave set to zero to keep inactive. If "Percent Over" is set to 0 the maximum score will be the base score. To enter the name of another division press <Page Down> key to go to the next division and <Page Up> to get back to the previous division. With "Player Handicap" you may have each division have its own handicap rules. However just division #1 handicap rules have to be filled in if they are all the SAME. If any of the division handicap rules are the same as #1 just leave the rest of the parameters, with the exception of "Division Name", blank. - 13 - C O M P U T E S C O R E - I I 3.5 Schedule Builder Need to enter your schedule quick and fast with little headaches? From the "Profile Menu" go into "Schedule Builder". This is a quick away to enter a lot of dates with a few questions. It only needs to be ran once and you do NOT need to be a 100% sure of your schedule. After running the schedule builder dates will be added to your schedule which then can be modified later to handle any unique situations which may cause the league schedule to fluctuate. You may build a schedule for leagues that bowler once a week or once every other week. Press <Enter> at the "Bowl Every" question and choose either "1 - Week" or "2 - Week" respectively. The next question is the "Number of Weeks" to generate dates for. After answering this question type the "Starting Date" in the format of: MM/DD 07/01 If there are any dates that your league does NOT bowl for the season type up to five date with the same format. Once again it is NOT critical that you know all the dates at this time, they can be modified with easy later. Just enter as much information as you know about the schedule at this time. When all finished with the questions move the highlighter at "G O" and press the <Enter> key. The dates will be generated for you. 3.6 Yearly Schedule After pressing <Enter> at the "G O" prompt or holding down the <Alt> key while pressing the <Y> key for "Yearly Schedule" (at the main screen), the "Yearly Schedule" window will appear. It will show all the week numbers followed by the dates followed by special codes, if any. To type in a new date or change a date move the highlighter to that week number and press <Enter>. A window will appear that will show which team will bowl on which lane for that given week. The week number is shown in the center top of the window. To go forward to the next week press the <Page Down> key. To go back a week press the <Page Up> key. Once to the correct week number that needs to be modified or change type in the new date. Once again you may go to the next week number with the <Page Down> key. Pressing <F10> or <Esc> will return you back to the "Yearly Schedule" window. Press <F10> if the date has been changed because by pressing the <Esc> key right after typing the new date will return the old date. - 14 - C O M P U T E S C O R E - I I 3.6.0.1 Inserting and Deleting Dates At the main "Yearly Schedule" window, not the individual week window hold down the <Alt> key while pressing the <I> key will insert a space for that date pushing out all the dates, from that week, by one week. The last week number date will be lost. To enter the new date for this week press <Enter> to pop up the individual week schedule and refer back to the above section. Holding the <Alt> key down while pressing the <D> key will delete the date at the highlighter moving all the dates forward a week from that particular week number. The last week number date will be blank. 3.6.0.2 Position Round & Split Season Compute Score II schedule defaults to zero weeks for position round but it allows a league to have as many as it needs. It does the same for split season. A split season is (in the case of a half season) were the middle of the season the league will have the team with the highest points bowl against the team with the highest points for the second half of the season. Compute Score II will not be able to tell who won the season in the case of a split season but it will keep track of the team order by number of points for that particular season. To pull up these questions along with a few other questions press <Enter> at any particular week (a week that you want a position round or split season). This will call up the individual week schedule. Press <Enter> one more time to call up the above questions. The first question is "Starting Lane for Position Round". The default is 0 which means no position round for this week. Compute Score II wants to know what lane is the first lane for the team with the most points for that week. Normally the first position round, the team with the most points starts on lane one, the next position round, the team with the most points starts on lane three and so on. Some leagues draw for the starting lane. If this is the case type in one for starting lane to tell Compute Score II there is a position round for that week. When that week comes around or you know what the exact starting lane is then change that value at that time. The starting lane must be an odd value. If the value is not zero it is displayed in the "Yearly Schedule" window to denote that there is a position round that week. The second question is "Split Season for this Week". The default is "N". If you want the team points to reset to zero for that week, type "Y". If your league supports player points, a split season will not affect them. When printing out reports that show the team order it will be based on the season highest points not the total highest points. If set to "Y" it will display a "S" on the "Yearly Schedule". The last three questions deal with tournaments or bowling for averages. If your league has a tournament which none of the games will count for team points and player averages do not count, than - 15 - C O M P U T E S C O R E - I I as far as Compute Score II is concerned it should not be considered in the schedule. Image its a week that the league does not bowl. It should be a skip date if running the "Schedule Builder". However if it is a tournament where points or averages are kept than have this week in the schedule. If "Count Team Points for this Week" is set to "N" then Compute Score II will let all the total team points for the week be zero. If "Count Team Games for the Week" is set to "N" than all team scores will equal zero for that week. These two questions are good for the first night of bowling if your league bowls for averages only. If the last question, "Count Bowler Points for this Week" is set to "N" it will let all player points equal zero for that week. This question will have no effect if there are no points awarded for individual players. If any or all of these questions have "N" for an answer then the following codes are displayed on the "Yearly Schedule" window, respectively: "T", "G" and "B". Press <F10> to get out of each section. 3.7 Award Setup Each division can have their own type of awards. The assignment of awards may be used for official patches or just for internal league recognition. League types differ in many ways; for this reason Compute Score II award section should be used for indication purposes only especially if used for official patches. In other words, its up to the secretary to determine if a person really should get an award. For example: Compute Score will recognize games over "100 pins over average" and display an award for that bowler but a lot of rules state that you need 21 games before the award is valid. Its up to the secretary to make these types of decisions. In the "Award Setup" menu in the top right part of the window the division is displayed. All the questions refer to that division. Change the division with the <Page Down> and <Page Up> keys. Please note that the division names must be first typed in the "Division / Handicap" section. In this section use the <Tab> key to move vertically down to the next group of questions while holding down the <Shift> key and then pressing <Tab> will move up to the above question. Use the <Enter> key to move horizontally within a group of questions. 3.7.0.1 Once Only The two questions, "Hi Game Once" and "Hi Series Once" are awards that a bowler can only get once in a season. Not only that, they need to be bowled in order. If "Hi Game Once" is set to 200, 225, 250, 275 and a bowler shoots a 250 or greater before hitting any games in the range of 200 to 249 then he will get the 250 award and not be eligible for the 200 and 225 award. He / She would still be eligible for the 275 award. This games must be entered - 16 - C O M P U T E S C O R E - I I in order with the lowest high game and high series in the left most column. 3.7.0.2 All the Time "Hi Game All" and "Hi Series All" are awarded to bowlers every time that score or better (as long as it's lower than the next highest score in that category) is shot. These categories lowest game have to be higher than the highest scores in the "Once Only" categories. Likewise, these two categories must contain the lowest high score in the left most column and be consecutive from there. There could be scores that fall between these two types of categories. If so, it is suggested to place the games in the "All the Time" category. This will alert the secretary of any bowler who might be eligible for an award, letting the secretary make the final decision. 3.7.0.3 In a Row, 100 over Average, 150 over Series The question "In a Row" should only be used if your league bowls the standard three games a night. If so, most leagues give award for triplicate scores. In the junior leagues under the bantam division duplicate patches are awarded for the first two games (only) if they are the same (this question can be set to duplicate if it is a two game league). If it is a three game league it only looks at the very first two games. This award is only recognized once per bowler. "100 over Avg" refers to when a player bowls 100 pins over his/her current average. Due to the differences in rules, Compute Score II will give this award every time a bowler shoots 100 pins over their average. Its up to the league secretary to look and determine if they have already received the award (if allowed once only) and if they bowled enough games to establish a valid average for this award. "150 over Series" works in the same manner as 100 pins over average. However it should only be used in conjunction with a three game league. 3.8 Printer Setup The "Printer Setup" is one of the most difficult sections to understand if your printer is not working properly. This will require some knowledge of how printer codes work. At this time Compute Score II is advertised for an IBM/Epson compatible printer. These are the only codes supplied and tested. However, if you are familiar with printer codes you may setup Compute Score II to handle almost any printer. If this is the case and you wish to share your results with others make a "Print Screen" copy of the codes, after fully testing the printer, include a listing of the dip switch settings and emulation mode to Berlin Software. It will be added in future versions. - 17 - C O M P U T E S C O R E - I I To switch from the "GENERAL" printer driver (which is Epson compatible) to "IBM_PRO" which is for the IBM Pro Printers press <F2> to list all the printer drivers. Highlight "IBM_PRO" and then press <Enter>. 3.8.1 Testing your Printer After entering this section press <F8> to test your printer. The first line should be the normal pica print, 10 characters per inch. The next line should be shorter than the first because it is elite print, 12 characters per inch. The next block of text will be printed at six lines per inch. Take out a ruler and measure the first six lines. It should equal an inch. Measure the next 8 lines. This should also equal one inch, because it should be in 8 lines per inch spacing. The next line will be bold followed by a double wide line followed by a normal line. If your printer did not print properly the power should be turned off and then back on before proceeding. If the printer is not compatible with the displayed codes it may cause abnormal results and the only way to be sure your printer is a 100% clear of the old, incorrect, codes is to reset your printer (turn it off/on). 3.8.2 Understanding Printer Codes If your printer is not working properly you may still want to review your manual and try to setup the codes properly. Here are a few hints: Look under the index for the command that is not printing properly. Under each command most manuals give the printer codes in three forms. One is in somewhat English terms: Esc A. Another is in hex form: 1B 41. The last is in decimal format: 27 65. The important thing is to remember that all of these three formats equal the same thing. Compute Score II uses the later format, decimal. The most common printer code is the "Esc" code which is equal to the decimal value of 27. A computer can only send a value to the printer between 0 and 255. Most of this values print characters, example: if the computer wants a capital letter "A" to be printed it sends the decimal value of 65. The letters and symbols can be found in your printer manual under an "ASCII table". It will show in most cases the hex and decimal value for each letter and printed symbol. The problem is the printer can do more than print letters and symbols, it can understand commands like: bold face, underline, double wide (expanded print), etc. There are more letters, symbols then 256 (0-255). The "Esc" code or the decimal value of 27 has been reserved to tell the printer do not print the next code after "Esc". Instead the printer will do some type of operation like turn on bold print. Example: If the printer receives the code 65 it will print "A" under a normal situation. However if the printer receives the value of 27 ("Esc") followed by the value of 65 ("A") it will not print a capital "A"; it may turn on underline mode, bold face, etc. This is where printers start becoming incompatible. Each model or type of printer has there own set of command codes. - 18 - C O M P U T E S C O R E - I I 3.8.3 Reset Printer "Reset Printer" for all printer drivers will default to nothing. Just like any other question, leave it blank to cancel the command. The advantage of canceling "Reset Printer" is that it enables the type of print to be set from the control panel of the printer before printing. If the "Reset Printer" code has been entered it would reset the printer to the original setting of the printer every time a report is printed. The disadvantage of canceling "Reset Printer" is that the operator must make sure the printer knows where the top of the page is when a form feed command is issued. The easy way of doing this is to press "Form Feed" and then align the paper to the top of a page using the roller on the side of the printer. An alternative method is to align the paper to the top of the page and then turn the printer OFF and then back ON again. If you want all reports to print with a certain type of print or font add that particular code to the "Reset Printer" code. - 19 - C O M P U T E S C O R E - I I Chapter 4 Entering New Information 4.1 Team Information If you are still in the "Profile Menu" press <F10> until all windows disappear and you are at the "Main Screen". The "Main Screen" is the place that holds the two teams that are bowling each other. To enter a new team name from the main screen, hold the <Alt> key down and press <E> for "Edit". An alternative method of pressing <Alt> <E> or any other <Alt> command is to press <F10> for the "Main Menu". All the <Alt> commands will be displayed. From this point press the letter ("E" in this case) of the section you desire or use the <Arrow> keys to move the highlighter to the desired section and followed by <Enter>. Once in the "Edit" window a list of numbers will appear ranging from one to the maximum number of teams that were setup when the file was created. After the team name has been added it will appear in the team window after the team number. Move the highlighter to the number or team name that you wish to edit or add, followed by <Enter>. The "Team Information" window will appear. If there is no team name the highlighter will be at the first question "Team Name". If there is already a name filled in at "Team Name" the highlighter will be at "BOWLER A:". If the second case is true press the <Up Arrow> key once to move the highlighter to the right question. Type in a team name up to 20 letters using any format you desire. At this point you may go to the rest of the teams by using your <Page Down> key to move forward one team or <Page Up> to move back one team. It is probably best to stay at the first team and enter all the players' information first. Floating subs or extra bowlers that you want to keep averages for can be placed on a separate team. Start this team one number greater than the number of teams in the league. You must have a team name if those bowlers should appear on the weekly standing report. A good team name for these types of bowlers is "SUBS". - 20 - C O M P U T E S C O R E - I I 4.2 Player Information Assuming you are already at the "Team Information" window, if not see the above section, move the highlighter with the <Arrow> keys to the bowlers name you wish to add. Press <Enter> to call up the "Player Information" window. Enter the regular bowlers starting with the letter "A". Compute Score II will print the standing sheet and other reports in the same order of "A,B,C, etc.". It will also look at the first five bowlers to get next weeks estimate handicap (assuming this is a five player league). Subs that always bowl on the same team can be added to the team by placing them below the normal players for a total of eight bowlers per team. If you require more names per team or your subs float around to different teams add them on a separate team list starting with one team number greater than the number of teams in the league. 4.2.0.1 Name At the name prompt enter the first and last name of each bowler. This can be in either format: "First Last" or "Last, First". If there is only one name entered, Compute Score II will assume its the last name. The way the names are entered will be the way they are displayed and printed on most reports. The exception being the reports that are organized alphabetically. 4.2.0.2 Address There are three twenty space lines for the bowlers address. Enter the address the way it should appear on a mailing label. If there are bowlers that have the same address but you only want one mailing label printed then leave all but one bowlers address blank. 4.2.0.3 Phone, Birth & Sanction The next three questions; Phone No., Birth Date, and Sanction; are pretty straight forward. Answer them or leave them blank as you see fit. 4.2.0.4 Division Division is a very important question. Pressing <Enter> at this field will call up all the divisions available for the league. After doing this and you notice the divisions are not properly set go back to the "Profile Menu" and do so. Each division can have their own handicap rules (if "Player" handicap), high award rules and bowlers' high scores will be segregated by divisions. Use the division called "NONE" to keep track of a bowler who does not qualify for high awards or high - 21 - C O M P U T E S C O R E - I I scores. Division "None" will always use the handicap rules as setup for division #1. 4.2.0.5 Last Year Average "Last Year Average" is an important question for the first week of bowling and for most improved average. If a bowler uses last years average for the first week of bowling enter that average here or any other score that the handicap may be based on for that week. If it is left blank Compute Score II will base that bowlers handicap on the average of the games bowled for that first week. 4.2.0.6 Previous Scores There is one more section under the "Player" window called "Previous Scores" this is used if starting a league in the middle of the season. If you are starting at the first week of bowling for the season you will not need to worry about this section. If not, see the Appendix called "Starting in the Middle of the Season" for more details. - 22 - C O M P U T E S C O R E - I I Chapter 5 Entering Scores 5.1 A Look at the Main Screen Before trying to enter scores your league profile should be properly set. Team and player names (the one you know at this time) should have already been added. The bowlers should have the right division assigned to them and you should have some idea what is contained on the so called "Main Screen". The "Main Screen" takes up the full screen without having any windows on it. It is the place where two teams are looked at and the individual games are normally inputted. The team on top is the team that bowled on the odd lane. The number before the team name on the top of the screen is the league number of that team. The player names are displayed below the team name in the black area defaulting in order (can be changed later) starting with the letter "A". A bowler will always contain the same letter no matter what position he/her is in (with the exception of floating subs). 5.1.1 Team Columns For each player their division is shown to the right of their name. After this there is a "COM" standing for "COMMENTS". This is where it will be denoted if a bowler is absent (ABS) or there is a floating sub (SUB). If a sub is on the same team it is treated like a normal bowler. After the "COM" field is the "AVG" field standing for "AVERAGE". This average in this column is the average that is used to figure the handicap for the week. After each number in the "AVG" column there is a letter that follows. If it is a "L" it means that the average is L_ast years average. The other letter you might see for the first week of bowling is "S" which means the average will be calculated based on the games that are displayed on the S_creen. After the first week in most cases the letter following the average is "C" standing for their C_urrent average prior to the games bowled for the current week (the average remains the same as games are enter unlike the "S" average which averages the games on the screen). If your league is not a six bowler league the last column will display the T_otal of the averages followed by the letter "T". - 23 - C O M P U T E S C O R E - I I The columns after "AVG" are straight forward. The "HCP" column stands for "HANDICAP". If your league bases handicap on a "Player" handicap system it will display each bowler's handicap based on their average that was previously discussed in the above paragraph. The next columns are the scores that will be enter plus the total of those scores. Note: If the "Type of Handicap" is set to "NONE" use the left arrow key to move the highlighter to this column. 5.1.2 Current Info Window In the lower left corner of the screen is a window called "Current Info Window". It is divided into two areas: team and player. This window will change as the cursor on the screen moves from one team to the other or one bowler to the other. It will always display the current status of the team and bowler based on the cursor position. In the team area there are two columns for the games that have been won and lost. The first column is denoted by the letter "S" for seasonal. If your league has any split seasons the wins and losses that are current for that season are displayed. The second column are for the total wins and losses denoted by the letter "T". These are the wins and losses for the entire season. If your league does not have any split seasons or it is in the first season the two columns will always equal each other. Under the player area of the window the current total pins, number of games, current average, high game, high series, high handicap game and high handicap series will be displayed. This like the team status will change and update every time a new score as been added. This means it is not uncommon to see the player average in the window differ from the player average in the "AVG". One is to base the current week handicap from and the other is that players average including the games bowled for that week. 5.1.3 Team Totals Area At the bottom right corner of the screen is a couple of black areas where the team totals are displayed. This first area obviously would refer to the top team totals while the second area is for the team that bowled on the even lane. The team names are listed again above each area but instead of having the team number before the team name the lane number is displayed. If this is not correct refer back to the "Profile Menu" under "First Lane". All the team totals including points won and lost are display here. 5.1.4 Other Items of Interest The second line from the bottom is where the league file name is displayed. You might see something like: C:\CSII\SAMPLE - 24 - C O M P U T E S C O R E - I I The "C:" means that the file is on that particular drive. It is in the subdirectory "\CSII\" and the file name is "SAMPLE". Refer to your DOS manual for more information about disk drives and subdirectory names. To the right of the file name, the current week number of the league is displayed followed by the date for that week. Underneath this line, a display of the function keys operations are shown. Anytime you need help press <F1>. Help will be given for that particular section. Pressing <F1> again, after already in help, will call up the "Help Index". From this point any help issue can be viewed. "<F3>" and "<F4>" gives the player and team history, respectively. These commands also work when in the edit mode. Basically, when ever Computer Score II can determine one particular bowler and one particular team based on the cursor position, these command will work. "<F5>-ABS" is pressed whenever a bowler is absent for that week. "<F6>-FORFEIT" is pressed whenever one team has to forfeit to the other team. Pressing <F8> (Quick Print) will print a hard copy of the two teams. <F9> is pressed after everything has been entered in and is correct for the two teams. This will save the scores and continue to the next two teams. To pull up the "Main Menu" press <F10>. All items in the main menu can be accessed directly with an <Alt> key combination. 5.2 Swapping Bowlers The bowling lineup will default to A, B, C ... which in many cases will not be correct. If there are no personal points awarded to each bowler then the order is not important. However, if they are repositioned to the way they actually bowled, entering their scores will be quicker. The chance of entering the scores for a different bowler is minimized making this method highly recommended. To move bowlers from one position to the other press the letter code given to a particular bowler when the cursor is at that position. Example: suppose the cursor is at the 1st bowler position which contains bowler "A" but bowler "C" should be in this position. By pressing <C> bowler "C" will move into position #1 and since position #3 will be open it will place bowler "A" into that position (#3). After this command is issued it will cause the cursor to go to the next position. If the next position is correct use the <Arrow> keys to move to the next position that is not correct or by pressing the correct bowler's letter, in this case "B", will cause the cursor to move to the next bowler position. If your league consists of over five bowlers on a team (in the case of a rotating team or subs that only bowl on this team) that bowler not currently on the main screen can be added. If you know - 25 - C O M P U T E S C O R E - I I their bowler code ("F","G", etc.) just type their code when the cursor is at the correct bowler position. It will replace the current bowler at that position with the new bowler that corresponds with the typed bowling code. 5.2.1 View Team Mode The above case would create some problems because the secretary would have to memorize all the bowler codes. This would cause a need to view the entire team roster. Hold down the <Alt> key and press <V> for "View Team Mode". This can also be accomplished, along with any other <Alt> command by pressing <F10> for "Main Menu" and then either pressing "V" or moving the highlighter to "View All Players on Team". When this mode is active it will display all players on the given team based on the cursor position. As soon as the cursor moves to the opposing team the window will display that team. In this mode all functions are still available except for adding scores. To exit this mode and get ready to start typing scores press the <Esc> key, the view window will disappear. 5.2.2 Adding Subs If there is a sub that does not bowl on the current team hold down the <Alt> key and press <S> for "Sub List" or press <F10> for the main menu. The sub list will default to the team number that is one greater then the actual number of teams in the league. Either type the corresponding bowler code given for the sub already on the list or type the code that you wish to place a new sub. If there is no name listed for the corresponding bowler code Compute Score II will bring up the "Bowler Information" window so that the sub can be added. Press <F10> to get back to the "Sub Window" and press the bowler code once again. If there is a name that corresponds to the bowler code, that sub will be added at the cursor position on the main screen. After choosing any sub, that sub will get a new temporary bowler code for that particular team he/she is bowling on. Since the normal eight bowlers per team use up to code "H" the first sub assign to the team will use the code "I", the second sub for a team would be "J" and so on. These subs then have the power to be swapped around just like any other bowler (this only needs to be done if there was a mistake in positioning the sub in the first place). To access another team other than the default sub team use the <Page Down> key to go to the next higher team or <Page Up> to go back to the previous team. This is assuming you are at the "Sub List" window. Also a bowler can be from another team as long as it is not the opposing team displayed on the screen. If this is the case Compute Score II will beep and return to the "Main Screen". - 26 - C O M P U T E S C O R E - I I 5.2.3 Blind Bowlers Compute Score II handles blind bowlers the same as the first release of Compute Score. However, there has been a lot of extra work that secretaries did not need to do (probably because there was not a good explanation in the manual how to treat blind bowlers). There is NO need to create extra bowlers called "Blind Bowlers". If a team does not contain a full roster then use that bowler's code that the new bowler would use if one was added. After this is done and scores are being added just make this empty spot "ABSENT", <F5>. To mark someone "ABSENT" is reviewed and explained in the next section. 5.3 Typing in Scores 5.3.1 Cursor Movement Before physically adding scores you should become familiar with the cursor and some shortcut movements. The basic cursor movement is when the <Enter> key is pressed. It can move on of two ways. The first is horizontally, going from game to game. The second way is vertically, bowler to bowler. These modes can be swapped back and forth by holding down the <Alt> key and pressing <M> for mode change or press <F10> for main menu. The program is mainly setup for the cursor to move horizontally especially when marking a bowler absent. However, in the case of automatic score keepers where the scores are given a game at a time, it make sense to enter the scores vertically, game by game. In other words, use the method most convenient to you. The <Home> key has a special function. If pressed while the cursor is not at the number one game it will move the cursor to the number one game for that bowler. If pressed while the cursor is at the number one game for a bowler the cursor will move to the first bowler of that team. Pressing <Home> twice will always bring you back to the first bowler of the team. Pressing the <Page Down> or <Page Up> will move the cursor to the opposite team keeping the cursor in the same position for that team. The <Tab> moves the cursor to the right. This is more effective than using the <Right Arrow> key because by using the <Right Arrow> key the cursor only moves one digit of the score at a time. Finally after it is at the third digit the cursor will jump right to the next score. Hold the <Shift> key down and then pressing <Tab> will cause the cursor to move to the left. 5.3.2 Adding Scores With the lineup correct for both teams (except marking bowlers absent) and the cursor is at the first team, first bowler and game one, you are know ready to type in scores. After typing in a three digit score Compute Score II issues an automatic <Enter>. - 27 - C O M P U T E S C O R E - I I This allows for the data to be entered quickly. The cursor will either move vertically or horizontally depending on what mode you have set. If the score is under 100 then Compute Score II may or may not know when to add an automatic <Enter>. With the first release of Compute Score it never added an automatic <Enter> for a two digit score. There was two ways to enter a score like "89" which was: <8> <9> <Enter> or <0> <8> <9>. These methods will also work with Compute Score II but addition logic has been added so that it will handle scores over 30 automatically. Compute Score II will not allow any games over 300. If you try to type in the score 89 followed by 128, Compute Score would first see the number for the first game as "891". At this point it would assume that the "89" was the first game and the "1" was the first digit entered for the second game because the score is over 300. However this will not work if trying to enter a game below 30. Compute Score II would not know if you were entering "221" or "22" for the first game with the "1" as the first digit of the second game. If this is the case either type a "0" before "21" or <Enter> after "21". 5.3.3 Absent Bowler If a bowler is absent or there is a "Blind Bowler" press <F5> to notify Compute Score II not to add those scores to that person's history file. "ABS" will appear in the comment field. If that bowler has an average (current or last year) it will take that average minus the pins in the setup (usually 10) and place that score for all the games. However, if any bowler is marked "ABS" their scores can be change to any score you need to make the team totals correct. This is the case mainly for blind bowlers or when the bowler does not have an average. An example of how Compute Score II treats someone absent is: There are a possible 8 bowlers per team, 5 bowlers can only bowl at any given night, in this case. The remaining 3 bowlers never get any scores added to their history file. If 1 bowler is marked absent then there will be 4 bowlers that will not get any scores added to their history file. A bowler or bowler's spot (in the case of a blind bowler) marked absent is treated just like any other bowler that did not bowl for the week. 5.3.4 Saving Two Teams After all the scores are entered correctly press <F9> to save the scores. A window will appear to confirm this action, either type <Y> or <Enter> with the highlighter being at "YES". All the scores will be saved to each individual's personal record with the exception of any bowlers that are marked "ABSENT". The team file will be saved in the same manner. Once the scores are in their individual files they are treated independent of each and every other file This means when editing an individual or team history file it will NOT affect any other file including the team file. For more detail see the next chapter. After the two teams are save the next two teams will appear. - 28 - C O M P U T E S C O R E - I I Chapter 6 History/Personal Files 6.1 Understanding these files Compute Score II uses two files for each bowler, one called the history file and the other called their personal file. The history file basically stores the week to week games and points while the personal file contains their name, address, etc. It is not important that you understand that there are two separate file because from the user standpoint they act as one file. What is important is to understand how Compute Score II uses these files because the history file is the backbone to all the operations (example: calculating High Game). To really understand how this works you should have already entered some scores into Compute Score II and be familiar with the commands and procedures talked about so far in this manual. Basically the information in the history files drives all the reports, high scores, etc. This means when you are entering scores at the main screen, it is only a tool to get the games in the right individual history files. Once in the history files these scores can be edited anytime and it will NOT affect any other bowler's history file or, for that matter, the team history file. Note: When looking at a file and "0" is seen for a game, Compute Score II sees it as the bowler did not bowl that game. This would mean no bowler could have a score of "0". If they did you must give them the benefit of at least "1" pin. The idea of the "Main Screen" being a tool to place the scores in the individual file means that if you have a situation where all the scores are not correct (in the case that a bowler was only absent for one game and not all of them) try to get as many scores correct has possible. Try to get the team scores correct in all cases (if not then these scores must also be edited). After <F9> is pressed, the scores are put in the individuals files. Then the incorrect scores must be edited from the history files. 6.2 Calling Up History To call up a bowler's history the command is <F3>. <F4> is for a team history. These commands will work in most places in the program. The key factor for popping up an individual history file - 29 - C O M P U T E S C O R E - I I is that the highlighter of any current window must be at one particular name. At the "Main Screen" one bowler is always highlighted so pressing <F3> at this time will always produce a history file. If you are at one particular bowler's information window (<Alt><B>) press <F3> at this time will also produce that person's history file. The elementary concept is as long as Compute Score II knows who's history file to bring up it will. Pressing <F3> in the Schedule window will not work, is an example when Compute Score II doesn't know who's file to bring up. The team file works in the same fashion, as long as it knows what team file to bring up it will. Compute Score II always knows what team a particular bowler is on, meaning <F4> will work every place <F3> does. In addition, <F4> will also work after press <Alt> <E> for edit mode and the "Team Listing" window pops up. <F10> or <Esc> will always take you out of the history file and automatically save any changes that were made. 6.3 Looking at a History File The team and individual files hold basically the same information and work in the same manner. As a result both will be looked at together in this manual and any exceptions one file has over the other will be noted. The first thing you may notice is that one line is brighter than the other on a black and white monitor (providing your monitor has enough contrast to distinguish between normal and bright text) and on a color monitor one line is highlighted. This enables you to read across the entire row without straining your eyes. It can be moved up and down with the arrow keys. <Page Down> and <Page Up> will move the scores a full window at a time. In the first column is "DATE". These dates are taken off the main schedule for the league. If this section is not filled out the "DATE" column will be blank. Under the dates in the window border is a number. This refers to the actual week number the highlighter or bright line is on. To change a date it must be done at the "Schedule Window" and will affect all bowlers and teams. Another thing you might notice is that some dates have an "*" before it. This is to note a start of a season for split season leagues. This must also be changed in the "Schedule Window" in incorrect. The next columns, except for "-HG-" and "-HS-" are self explanatory and will be talked about in the next section "Editing a History File". In the player's file there is the option of displaying the high scores with or without handicap. The default is the actual high score. This is noted underneath the high score columns in the border of the window. Hold the <Alt> key and press <M> for mode change. This will change the verbiage in the border to read "HANDICAP" while displaying the scores accordingly. Pressing <Alt> <M> one more time will toggle back to the "ACTUAL" mode. - 30 - C O M P U T E S C O R E - I I To print a hard copy of any player or team history file press <F8> for "Quick Print". 6.4 Editing a History File After viewing a player or team history file you may need to edit it. This can be done by pressing the <F2> key. After <F2> is pressed a highlighter will appear on the screen under the "LN#" column. Once again the important thing to remember about this history files is: that it is the back bone for all reports, averages and high scores; and changing something in any one particular history file will NOT, in any shape or form, change another history file. Meaning by changing a score in an individual file will not change the team file, giving you total control over each and every file on an individual bases. The "DATE" field, as mentioned in the previous section, is the same for every bowler therefore is not editable. "LN#" is the first field that can be edited. It can range anywhere between "0" and "250". The next two categories are "WON" and "LOS". These two columns are unique. When in the view mode only it will display the accumulative total wins and losses for each week (for the team file it will reset the accumulative totals to "0" for each week that starts a new season). However, when this edit highlighter is at one particular "WON" or "LOS" field it will display the wins or losses for that particular week. When editing this field enter the wins and/or losses for that week ONLY and NOT the total. As soon as the input highlighter moves off the field the field will display accumulated totals. All wins and losses will be adjusted automatically. The next four columns are for the games bowled for a particular week. As you enter a new score or change a previous one the totals and averages will be recalculated automatically. This means the "TOT", "GRAND", "NO", "HCP" (for player history only), "HG" and "HS" can not be edited. For the team history files only the handicap is not a calculated score but a score from the "Main Screen", therefore, it can be edited. Compute Score II will only print high scores for either actual totals or handicap totals, not both. This should already be setup in the "Profile Menu". The way Compute Score II handles this is that whatever scores you see in the team history file will be used to calculate its high scores. If the league is setup to use actual scores for high scores then the actual scores will be in each column. This means by ADDING the handicap to the scores will give the handicap totals. However if your league is setup to save the handicap totals then these scores are saved in the game columns. SUBTRACT the handicap column from the game column will give the actual score. - 31 - C O M P U T E S C O R E - I I Pressing <F2> a second time will remove the input highlighter. This is a safety mode so scores can not be accidentally changed or erased. All changes made will automatically be saved as soon as <F10> or <Esc> is pressed. - 32 - C O M P U T E S C O R E - I I Chapter 7 Printed Reports 7.1 Report & Printer Info Window All reports have a "Report & Printer Info" window. This window contains generic questions that can pertain to any type of report. However, because these are generic questions they may have some what of a different meaning for each report or they may not be used at all for a particular report. A good example of this is the first question "Week Number". When it is used it means the same for all reports, however, some reports, like "Player Info", are not weekly reports. In this case it would make no difference what the week number is. The week number will normally be defaulted to one week greater than the previous week on the lower right corner of the screen. This is because after the last score of week #1 is done, Compute Score II jumps to week #2. The default week number for reports will be for week #1. If week number defaults to "0", it means the report does not use week numbers. The second question is "Copies". Enter a value between "1" and "99". Question three is "Lines Per Inch" which can be "6" or "8". If your printer does not support "Bold Face" or you just want to turn it off along with the other codes, there are two question that let you do just that: "Bold Face On" and "Page Code On". This would mainly be done if the report was going to be placed in a file for customization. This brings you to the next question, "Send To" which can be either "Printer" or "File". If sent to a file, enter the file name in the next question, "File Name". Please note you still can save a file name and print it to the printer with the above question. This is a good idea if the report is printed half of the time to the printer and the other half to a specific file. The last two question have specific definitions for each report, if used at all. However, the thing to remember is: if "First Team" and "Last Team" are set to "0" it will deactivate both questions, meaning the ENTIRE report will be printed. THERE IS NO NEED TO SET THESE QUESTIONS EXCEPT FOR "LIMITING" PURPOSES ONLY. - 33 - C O M P U T E S C O R E - I I 7.2 Standing Sheets The "Standing Sheet" is the main weekly report that gets posted or passed out each week. There are two main formats. The first is similar to the ABC standing sheets, its a "DUAL COLUMN" format which prints the individual information for two teams side by side. The "SINGLE COLUMN" report gives the same information as the first report plus other information, over 200, 500, 600, improved average, etc by only printing one team across the page. There are other formatting options: Print the players high scores on the top of the report under the team high scores or at the bottom of the report under the individual information. There are options about what type of high scores to print (actual, handicap, weekly, seasonal) and whether or not to skip perforations. If, however, you can not format this report in the manner that you desire you have the option to dump the report to a file instead of the printer. Once in a file you can call it up in your favorite editor or word processor. This would be considered an advance feature because you would already have to know how to do this with your own individual editor or word processor. 7.3 Input Sheet If you need a tool to get the scores from the bowling center back home so that you may enter in the scores as quickly and easily as possible then use the "Input Sheet Report". Since this report takes a long time to print there is the option to print a generic report (then make copies from a copier) or if you have the time it will make individual team sheets filling in the information. Customize this report by setting up how many lines you need for your league. There is also the power to print some of the top names on the sheet but leave the rest blank. This is ideal for rotating subs whereby you do not know who's going to bowl on what team. 7.4 Confirmation Report The "Confirmation Report" is ideal for that extra proof that you inputted all the scores correctly. This gives basically the same information as the standing sheet plus the games that were bowled from the previous week (or in this case the games entered in for the previous week). By passing out this report weekly to all the team members they can confirm that their own scores were entered correctly. - 34 - C O M P U T E S C O R E - I I 7.5 History Report The "History Report" is ideal at the end of the year when you need to print all the scores for each individual. However this report can be printed at anytime. It can be limited to one particular team by setting the "First Team" and "Last Team", in the "Report Menu", to the same number. If you only need one player's history, for whatever reason, pull up that individuals history file and press <F8> for Quick Print. 7.6 High Score Report In the "High Score Report" 9 separate high score categories can be printed. The key thing to remember, if you do not want a high score category leave that particular field set to 0. If you wish to print everyone, set that field to "999" or set the field to the number of bowlers you wish to print on that particular report. If the "Type of Report" is set to "ALL" and there is more than one division Compute Score II will treat all divisions as one division when calculating the high scores. If this question is set to division all the high scores will be broken down to each individual division. 7.7 Award Report The "Award Report" will print the Awards for all bowlers for the entire season. Remember this report is for indication use only. Its the secretaries job to apply all the rules to see if the awards are really applicable for each bowler. Example: Compute Score II will always give an award for 100 pins over average. Its up to the secretary to make sure they have enough games and they did not already receive this award. 7.8 Player Information Report In the "Player Information" section there is the choice of printing mailing labels or "line information" about a bowler (name, division, phone number, etc.). The mailing label report assumes that you are using standard one column mailing labels. There is also the option to print just team captain names. This is useful when the captains are responsible to pass on information to their team members. If the player information is printed for all the bowlers the team captain names will have an '*' in front of them. - 35 - C O M P U T E S C O R E - I I 7.9 Yearly Schedule Report The "Yearly Schedule Report" is similar to the ABC schedule format. At the top it list the all the lanes. The dates run down the first column with the team numbers filled in between the rows and columns. If the report is printed before any team names or dates are filled in, blanks "______" will be printed so that this information on this generic report can be handwritten. 7.10 Team Schedule The "Team Schedule" is a "blow up" of the "Yearly Schedule Report" for each individual team. Instead of numbers being printed of who bowls who, the actual names are printed. Along with this is a comment line to be used in any manner each team feels fit. An idea would be to keep track of the wins and losses for each team they bowled against. Another use would be to keep track of the person sitting out for the week, in the case of a rotational lineup. - 36 - C O M P U T E S C O R E - I I Chapter 8 File Routines At the File Window, <Alt> <F> from the main screen, there are options to call up a different file or create a new file under the "New File" selection. There is also the power to backup, clone or delete a file. 8.1 New File "New File" section is to open a new current file, it will automatically close out the current file. If this is a totally new file it will prompt you just like when you created your first file, see that part of the manual for more details. The same options will be available just like when the program is first started. At the "Enter File Name" prompt press <Enter> to get a list of all the files in the current directory, type in a valid path to get a particular directory (Example: "B:") or type in the complete file name. 8.2 Backup File "Backup File" will copy the current league file to a different drive. Please note that the backup file can not be on the same drive as the current file. It is highly recommended that you use at least 4 different disks for backup. The reason being, if your original disk goes bad and you make a backup of it (not realizing there are bad files) the back will not be any good. By using 4 disks you will have up to a month to recognize any problems. The other advantage is that if you totally screw up a week of information, just restore the last backup. To call a backup file, type in the drive letter followed by a ":" of the backup disk at the "Enter File Name" prompt (<Alt><F> followed by "New File" <Enter>). This will display all files on that drive. Move the highlighter to the particular file and press <Enter>. This file will be opened. To overwrite the file on the main drive use that drive letter to make a backup copy (Example of replacing a file on the C: drive after the backup file is opened: from the main screen: <Alt><F> - 37 - C O M P U T E S C O R E - I I highlight: Backup <Enter> highlight: "C" <Enter> 8.3 Cloning A File "Cloning a File" should be used in one of two cases. The first is when you start a new season and you wish to bring in names and averages from last season. The second reason is if you made your league team or week files too small. It was mentioned when you start a new file that "Number of Team Files" and "Number of Weeks" can not be changed after a file was created. This is correct, however, because there is always the possibility of error, there is the option to clone this file but giving you the privilege of resetting this values. There are only two rules that must be followed: first there must be ample disk space to create this new file and second this new file must have its own unique name or path. Once the new file has been successfully created and TESTED the old file can be deleted to avoid confusion. - 38 - C O M P U T E S C O R E - I I Chapter 9 League Awards Not all awards can be mechanically realized like the "100 pins over average", "200 games" and "700 series". There are awards like the "7-10 Split", "11 in a Row", "Dutch 200", etc. that can not be calculated based on a bowlers scores. However, these types of awards have been added to Compute Score II. At the "main screen" or a players "history file" hold the <Alt> key and press <L> for "League Awards". The "League Awards" menu will appear with all the awards. Highlight the desired award and press <Enter>. Basically when Compute Score II assigns a "League Award" it has to know two things, who gets the award and on what date. After assigning the award press <Alt><A> to view the awards for that bowler, that award should now be listed. Since these types of awards are manually assigned, there is the power to manually delete these awards. Please note these are the ONLY awards that can be deleted manually. The other awards will be automatically added and deleted based on the games in an individual history file. After pressing <Alt><A> to view the awards press <Alt><D> to pop up the delete menu for the "League Awards". Press <Enter> after moving the highlighter to the award that needs deleted. - 39 - C O M P U T E S C O R E - I I Chapter 10 Choosing Two Teams There may be a case to choose two teams that competed against each other that are not the same two teams Compute Score II picked as default. A few examples of this is if you made a big mistake in entering scores and you want to re-enter (edit) the two team scores. Another case would be your league as a position round that does not follow Compute Scores II rules. At the "main screen" press <Alt><C> to call up the "Choose Team Window". Once in this menu there are two modes, "Automatic" and "Manual". In the "Automatic" mode Compute Score II will pick two teams based on the yearly schedule. Use this mode if you need to re-enter scores for two teams. In this mode pick the desired lane number followed by the week number. Press <F10> to choose the two highlighted teams. Pressing <Alt><M> will toggle to "Manual Mode". In manual mode pick the first team which is on the odd lane, the second team, the odd lane number, and week number. Press <F10> to choose these teams. Note: a key thing to remember in manual mode is that the <Arrow Keys> move the highlighter to different teams on the top part of the window while the <Tab> and <Shift><Tab> keys move the highlighter to the different question on the bottom of the screen. - 40 - C O M P U T E S C O R E - I I Chapter 11 Advance Features This section assumes that you already know how to run Compute Score II. Terms, definitions and key strokes will be covered quickly without a lot of details. 11.1 Exchange (Swap) Bowlers Compute Score II gives the power to exchange (swap) either bowlers or teams to different positions. This is handy if their is a rotating sub that becomes a regular team member in the middle of the season or if someone quits. Remember, Compute Score II doesn't really look at names, but rather the position of the bowler, meaning blank positions can be exchanged just like two positions with names. This is often the case when someone quits. Exchange a blank position on a team with no name with the bowler that is not in the league anymore. This will give the affect of deleting the bowler from the team but really saving his/her scores, just in case. Change the deleted bowlers division type to "NONE" so that he/she will not appear on any high score reports. To exchange two bowlers press <Alt> <E> to call up the "Edit Window". Press <Enter> at the team the first bowler is one (can be either one of the two bowlers that you wish to exchange). Once the team window appears, move the highlighter to that persons name. At this point press <Alt> <E> again which stands for "Exchange Bowler". The "Exchange Window" will appear on the screen with that person's team and player number and name (if not blank) in the left column after the word "Exchange:". Notice his name and number is also in the right column after the word "For:". As you use the <Arrow Keys> to move the highlighter notice that the name after the word "For:" changes with the highlighter. Move the highlighter to the second name that needs to be exchanged. Remember, if they are on a different team use the <Page Down> and <Page Up> key to get to those teams. After getting the two names selected for exchange press <Alt> <E> one more time. <F10> or <Esc> will cancel the exchange process. To exchange teams is done in the exact same manner. Move the highlighter to the team name instead of the individual bowler's name. If this is the case the teams along as all the bowlers on the teams will be swapped. - 41 - C O M P U T E S C O R E - I I 11.2 Team Order "Team Order" is a good feature for those secretaries that know the bowlers and teams very well in the league. It probably has a very limited value if you are a secretary of many leagues and do not notice any patterns in the individual team lineup orders. If you notice that any given team bowls in the same order week after week or follows a pattern (rotating roster, 6 players on a 5 man/woman team) you have the power to have this lineup come up as default. To get into the "Team Order Window" press <Alt><O> from the main screen or highlight "Team Order in the "Team Window". There are four different types of lineup order. "None" will default to the first five bowlers (is its a 5 man/woman team). "Fixed" will default one of the eight lineup orders that you defined. "Rotate" will advance one lineup order at a time for each new week. Finally, "Show" will bring up this "Team Order Window" each time this team bowls so that you can choose one of the eight define orders. Before each one of the eight orders is a place to type a name for each order. This is optional, its to help you remember one order from the next. If a team has six bowlers when only five can bowl in one night it would be a good idea to use the bowler who is sitting out that week name for the "Order Name". To pick any of the eight orders when the highlight is on "Type of Order" just press the order number that you desire. Please note, if the "Type of Order" is set to "NONE" nothing will happen. If the highlight is at any one of the eight order lines press the <+> key to make that order the default lineup order. 11.3 Absent but not all Games To enter scores from the main screen only, Compute Score II assumes that a bowler either bowls all the games or no games at all. This means that his/her scores must be edited from their history file. There is, however, an easy approach for a bowler who is absent for only some of the game(s). Follow the steps bellow: o At the main screen have the highlighter at that name. o Press <F3> to call up their history file o Press <F2> to edit their file o Enter the games they bowled o Leave the absent games set to "0" o Press <F10> to save and return to the main screen o Press <F5> to mark that bowler absent - 42 - C O M P U T E S C O R E - I I Modifying their history file first will cause those scores to be pasted to that week bowled. Marking that person absent will fill in any scores to that person's average minus XX pins. Remember, once marked absent their scores can be anything because they will not be saved to file. The idea is to get the team scores correct. If there is the case where the handicap is different from one game to the next there is no other choice but to get the scores as correct as possible. You must then go back, after saving the scores, to the affected team(s) and player(s) files and make the corrections. 11.4 Adding Your Own Schedule There should not be any reason to modify the schedule, however if you have a need there is the power to do so. After calling up the "Yearly Schedule" (<Alt><Y> from the main screen) press <Alt><M> for mode change. This will bring up "Lane Mode" instead of "Date Mode". In "Lane Mode" there is no dates, position rounds, etc. This information is contained in each league file. As a result they will temporarily disappear until <Alt><M> is pressed again to toggle "Date Mode". From "Lane Mode" you may start a new file with the <Alt><N> command. Compute Score II will first ask how many teams followed by a eight letter file name. If the file name exists it will bring up that schedule. If not, it will create a new file. Pressing <Enter> will pop up the details for one week. Enter the team positions for that week. When finished with one week use the <PgDn> key to go the the next week. When all finished press the <Esc> key or <F10>. After the detail window disappears PRESS <F9> TO SAVE THE FILE. Press <Alt><M> to continue in "Date Mode". - 43 - C O M P U T E S C O R E - I I Appendix A Installing from a BBS It is important to get the correct files on the right disks if you unpacked the "Starter Pack" from a bulletin board. If not, the "INSTALL" program will not work if you try to pass the "Starter Pack" out to your friends. There is no problems if you are copying these files to a 3.5" disk. They will all fit on one disk. However, they will not all fit on a normal 5.25" disk. Basically all the program files get put on the first disk and labeled "PROGRAM DISK" except for the INSTALL program and manual files which get put on the "MANUAL DISK". If you pulled this file from a BBS then I am assuming you are familiar with the DOS commands and I will not go into any details on how to copy or move files. PROGRAM DISK CONTAINS: CSII.EXE CSII.HLP *.PRT (All printer default files) ABC.* (All schedule files) MANUAL DISK CONTAINS: INSTALL.EXE CSII.MAN MANUAL.BAT The INSTALL program (for the Starter Pack Only) is for users convenience, there is no special packing or writing of files. This means the DOS commands to copy and make directories work to install the program. However, for the purchased program the INSTALL program must be executed to move the copy protection over to the working disk. - 44 - C O M P U T E S C O R E - I I Appendix B Starting in the Middle of the Season To begin Compute Score II in the middle of the season is quite easy, plus it gives you the power to include all the history scores on an individual bases at your convenience. Enter all league profile, team, player and schedule information like a normal full season. It is very important to add in ALL the weeks to the schedule. If you are starring in the 8th week, the first 7 weeks must be skipped. Make sure you leave enough weeks. If not, the individual scores can not be added. After doing all of this (refer to the beginning of the manual) you should become familiar with Compute Score II before proceeding to the next step. You should have noticed that every team and player information window contains a "PREVIOUS" section. If starting on the 8th week to add scores you must know the team and players totals and high games for the seventh week. Go into the "Previous" sections and enter this information. Get to team "PREVIOUS" section from the "Main Screen": <Alt><E> <Enter> at team name move highlighter to "PREVIOUS" <Enter> Get to player "PREVIOUS" section from the "Main Screen": <Alt><E> <Enter> at team name <Enter> at bowler name move highlighter to "PREVIOUS" <Enter> After all the previous scores have been added, new scores are ready to be added. However, it is very important that you do not add these scores to week #1. Notice at the bottom right-hand corner it shows what week number you are currently on. From the "Main Screen" press <Alt><C> to choose the two teams that competed against each other. With the highlighter at "Week Number" type in the current week, in our example it would be week 8. If the schedule is set correctly it should bring up the correct pair of teams that bowled against each other. If not check the "Yearly Schedule" section. If it is correct press <F10> to choose these two teams. You may proceed just like you would have if you were using this program from the beginning of the - 45 - C O M P U T E S C O R E - I I season. Please note: the "Starter Pack" will only accept 6 weeks of consecutive data. Please see the beginning of this manual for ordering information after the fourth consecutive week. The only draw back to starting Compute Score II in the middle of the season is that the individual history files will not be complete. However, if you desire you may go back to any individual or team file, one at a time, clear the "PREVIOUS" section and add in their scores. Do this at your own convenience. Do NOT try this with the "Starter Pack". This will probably take you over the 6 weeks of consecutive data limit. - 46 - C O M P U T E S C O R E - I I Index * 30 Delete Date 15 100 over Avg 17 Division 21 150 over Series 17 division 13 Division / Handicap 13 A DUAL COLUMN 34 absent 28 Absent: Average minus pins E 10 Edit 20 ACTUAL 30 elite 18 address 21 Exchange Bowler 41 automatic score keepers 27 AVG 23 F Award Setup 16 File Parameter 7 Awards First Lane 10 100 over Avg 17 Floating subs 20 150 over Series 17 Hi Game All 17 G Hi Series All 17 GRAND 31 In a Row 17 awards 16 H half season See: Split B Season BACKUP DRIVE 9 HANDICAP 30 Backup File 37 handicap 11 Birth Date 21 Handicap Base 13 Black & White 5 Handicap Type 13 Blind Bowler 28 hard disk 3, 5 bold print 18 HCP 24, 31 Help 25 C help 8 Choose Team Window 40 Help Index 25 Cloning a File 38 HG 31 Color 5 Hi Game All 17 COM 23 Hi Game Once 16 Confirmation Report 34 Hi Series All 17 Copies 33 Hi Series Once 16 create a file name 7 High Score Report 35 Current Info Window 24 High Team Scores 12 cursor movement 27 history file 31 History Report 35 D HS 31 data disk 3, 4 DATE 30 I Date Mode 43 Improved Average 11 delete Award 39 In a Row 17 - 47 - C O M P U T E S C O R E - I I Insert Date 15 Previous Scores 22 INSTALL 3 printer codes 18 Printer Setup 17 L Profile Menu 12 Lane Mode 43 Last Year Average 22 Q League Awards 39 Quick Print 31, 35 LOS 31 R M reorganizing 5 Main Menu 25 Report & Printer Info 33 Main Screen 23 Reset Printer 19 MANUAL DISK 3 Max file size 8 S Max weeks bowled 7 Sanction 21 Maximum Score 13 Schedule Window 30 Minimum Score 13 SINGLE COLUMN 34 mode change 27 Split Season 15 Move Copy Protection 4, 5 split season 30 Standing Sheet 34 N Sub List 26 names 21 subdirectory 3 New File 37 Subs 21 new league file 7 subs 8 NO 31 swap See: Exchange Bowler No. for Last Avg 10 Swap Bowlers 25 No. Games For Avg 11 NONE 24 T Number of Bowlers 10 Team Information 20 Number of Teams 9 Team Order 42 Team Schedule 36 O TOT 31 optimizing 5 tournament 16 over average 16 Type of Handicap 24 Over Game 12 U P Use Diff. in Hcp 11 patches See: awards Phone No. 21 V phone numbers 9 View Team Mode 26 pica 18 Player Information 21, 35 W Point System 12 WON 31 Position Round 15 president's names 9 Y PREVIOUS 45 Yearly Schedule 14 Yearly Schedule Report 36 - 48 -
