GENERAL INFORMATION
-------------------
Football Fun (FFUN) was designed expressly for the
IBM-PC. A complete football schedule for the entire
current season is included in a data file on the FFUN
disk. This saves the operator the drudgery of keying in
the team names every week when preparing the weekly
selection sheets. The program is very easy to operate.
It takes 4 keystrokes to produce a weekly selection
sheet.
The selection sheet contains rules for playing the
game. The rules are simple and encourage non-football
experts to participate in the game. The object is to
pick the most winners of the weekly pro games. No
point spreads are used. In the event of ties, each
player enters the total number of points they think
will be scored in the Monday night game and whoever is
closest to the actual points scored is declared the
winner.
Entering each players selections has been simplified by
a data entry screen designed expressly for this
purpose. Using the 10 key numeric pad on the keyboard,
it is easy to enter 2 players a minute. Groups of
selection sheets may also be entered at different
times. Each player is stored on disk when operator is
satisfied that entry is correct, so that in the event
of a power failure, no work is lost accept for the
current player being entered on the screen. After all
players are entered the operator may produce a list of
this weeks selections. This report shows the time and
date and can be used to verify that no selections were
changed after the games were played.
Up to 300 players can be handled by FFUN.
A preliminary report must be produced on Monday
morning. Operator keys in the 13 numbers of winning
teams from Sunday games and FFUN counts number of games
each player picked right and prints all players in
order of number of games right.
Monday morning is also a good time to print the next
weeks selection sheet.
A final report must be printed on Tuesday. Operator
keys in the number of the team which won the Monday
night game and the total points scored in the game.
FFUN then prints report showing all players in order by
1. Most games won.
2. Smallest point difference.
**************************
WARNING : PLEASE NOTE.
