 How I wrote this help file:

MiniHelp Plus v3.21


Overview

 Soccer League Management is a program used for keeping track of a Soccer League.

This is the first version of the program, therefore, many functions are not supported at this time.

This program is  ABSOLUTELY FREE  and has not been cripled in any way.

I wrote the program to learn Borland's OWL and not to make money from it.

If you feel you must reward me,  DON'T.

However, I would greatly appreciate suggestions about the program.

Let me know about aspects you like and dislike, functions you would like to see improved or different, or anything you might want added or changed.

Also let me know if you find any bugs, I think I got rid of most of them.

Send comments and questions to the folllowing address:

     8500 W Indore Pl

     Littleton, CO  80123

Or you can E-Mail me at:

    Togoles@aol.com

Improvements
Possible Improvements

I am currently working on printing capabilities.

I would like to be able to print according to the window that is active.

Printouts would include:

   Rosters.

   Team Standings.

   Player Information.

   League Information.

I also want to improve the way Automatic Game Creation is accomplished.

At this time it uses a random generator to create games, which makes for repetition among contenders.

I would possibly make everyone play everyone 1 time around and then repeat this scheme.

I am also working on adding groups to the league so you can divide the teams and games by group.

I also want to create a playoff system where the top teams play each other for a title.

Finally, I would like you to be able to add games or players without having a fixed figure at league creation.

Again, let me know about things I may have overlooked.


Automatic Game Creation
Letting the program create the games for you.

See section Creating Games for more information.


Custom Game Creation
Creating games yourself.

See section Creating Games for more information.
