FOOTBALL POOL MANAGER is written for anyone who wants to run a
football pool. Whether it's the featured event at a private party
or the regular office pool, this program eliminates all the tedious
work. All you need to do is enter the basic information and
results; THE POOL MANAGER handles everything else. The program has
extensive error protection to prevent inadvertent mistakes as well
as catch an error made by a participant in the pool. It has
complete flexibility to handle any combination of college and pro
games - up to 16 games and 90 participants in a single pool. THE
POOL MANAGER has over 20 pages of clearly written documentation that
describe each feature of the program, complete with examples of how
to use it. Extensive report capability includes:
A picksheet for participants to indicate their selections
A spreadsheet indicating everyone's picks on all the games
Listing of any individual's picks
Current and final standings
Potential standings "IF" a certain team wins
Results of all games played
A new routine optionally loads all NFL teams. You just select the
opponents for each game. The program has display color selection in
addition to several other features that allow you to customize each
pool. The FOOTBALL POOL MANAGER is a good, flexible program that
saves you a tremendous amount of time and ensures an accurate, well
run pool.
The following four files constitute The Pool Manager (tm):
README DOC General information and initialization instructions
POOLMGR DOC Complete documentation for operating The Pool Manager
NFLPOOL EXE The Pool Manager Main Program
NFLPOOL2 EXE The Pool Manager Operation Program
These four files contain the entire program and totally complete
documentation. Nothing has been witheld pending contribution as
some shareware authors are currently doing. My program is complete
for your evaluation. If you do find it useful, a contribution of
$20 to American Systems at the above address would be appreciated by
the author.
