- exception all rights to When and Where belong in perpetuity to the
- authors KazMax Ltd.
-

-
-
- Overview
- ========
- 'When and Where' is a Microsoft Windows (r) application to help ease
- the burden of scheduling sporting activities and events - it is not
- limited to any sport in particular, and in fact will work for ANY
- activity which requires a future schedule to be built! Any number of
- divisions can be co-hosted, and each division can have up to 180 teams.
- Scheduling includes team fixtures, venues/fields, and game officials too.
-
- All features of this application are highly user-configrable to suit
- any sporting arrangement, at any level of the sport.
-
- If you evaluate this software and decide that it is not what you want
- because it lacks a feature that you would really like to see, please
- tell us - we may be able to help! In the past many good ideas which
- have been implemented in our software applications have come directly
- from user feedback - sometimes those ideas are turned around in just a
- day or two, to the surprise of our users!
-
-
- About Try-before-you-buy Software
- =================================
- Try-before-you-buy is exactly what it says - try the software for free,
- and if it meets your needs, place an order to purchase it. If it
- doesn't meet your needs then stop using it, delete it from your system
- and you owe us nothing.
-
-
- Target Audience
- ===============
- The target audience for this application will be adminstrators who are
- tasked with the responsibility to create league schedules, including the
- scheduling of teams, venues AND game officials!
-
-
