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 11 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. Point spreads are optional. In the event of ties, each contestant 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 the winner. If you prefer you may use the point spread between the winning team score and the losing team score. The tie- breaker points entered with the Monday night team winner will be the actual point difference in the game. If the score was 31 to 17 then the point total entered for the Monday night game will be 14. Entering each contestants 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 contestant 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 contestant being entered on the screen. After all contestants 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 400 players can be handled by FFUN. A preliminary report will be printed after Sunday games are played. Operator keys in the numbers of winning teams from Sunday games and FFUN counts number of games each contestant picked right and prints report showing all contestants in order of number of games right. Next week's selection sheet maybe printed after Sunday report is printed. The name of this week's winner can be placed on selection sheet so you may have to wait until after the Monday report has been printed to know who the winner is. Football Fun Page 2. ======================================================== A Monday report must be printed after the Monday night game is played. Key in the winning team number and the total points scored in the game. FFUN then prints report showing all contestants in order by 1. Most games won. 2. Smallest point difference. Contestant at top of report is the winner unless he is tied on games won and point difference. In that case the pot is split among the winners. The Monday report must be printed because it causes all contestants for this week to be erased so they do not get mixed in with next week's contestants. It also prepares a datafile which is used to update the seasonal database. The seasonal database is used to accumulate all the weekly results and produces a weekly season-to-date report showing the standings of all contestants. The contestant names stored in the seasonal database are used when entering each contestant's selections every week and saves the operator the trouble of typing the names. ************************** WARNING : PLEASE NOTE. ************************** You must operate Football Fun in the correct sequence in order not to mess up your player selections. Its basically simple. Follow these steps. 1. Make first selection sheet. 2. Enter contestants selections for coming weeks games. 3. List contestants selections before games are played. 4.

Use item 2. on Weekly Menu to bring up the contestant selection data entry screen. If you have names stored in the seasonal database the computer will place those names in the name box.

The first name in the seasonal database will be placed in the players name box and the cursor will jump to the lower box for entering the team numbers. You will see the following box in upper right hand corner of the screen.

Players with only one name are stored before players with a first and last name. As you skip around in the player's names, if you come to one which you have already entered, the program will skip over it and you will not see it again. After you are through entering players from the seasonal database, you can enter new players. The cursor will stop in the player's name box waiting for you to type in any new players. The Scroll Names box shown above will no longer be on the screen. If you are through with the player's names in the seasonal database, but there are still some appearing in the name box and you do not have selection sheets for them, you can use the F5 key to skip all the names in the seasonal database. Then the name box will be cleared and you can enter new names. If all the contestants in the seasonal database are not participating in a seasonal pool, but some are, then the contestants who are must have an asterisk (*) placed in front of their first names, like: *JOHN SMITH and you will be able to print a seasonal report with either all players or with just the * players.

The program cannot operate for the following season without the new pro football schedule. We will prepare a file each year with the new schedule for the coming season and make it available to the users of Football Fun game any time after July 1. Improvements to FFUN will also be included at no additional charge. Item 5 on the Utility Menu is an order form for the new football schedule. It will display on your screen and you may print it by holding shift key down and pressing PrtSc key. Fill out the order form and mail it in with your check or money order. We will send you a floppy disk with the current pro football schedule. If you need a 3.5" floppy disk, please indicate on the order form. 1.12.0 CUSTOMIZE THE WEEKLY SELECTION SHEET. ------------------------------------- The user now has an option to describe the rules for playing the pool. You may select the following item from the UTILITY MENU, 8. Customize the Weekly Selection Sheet. Football Fun Page 17. ======================================================== and the program will prompt you for the heading lines to be used on the selection sheet if you do not already have the custom file 'FBHEADER'. There are 6 lines in the heading, 1 line below the line which reads, TOTAL POINTS IN GAME 27-28 ( ) and a line below the NAME line at the bottom of the sheet. Also a 9th line containing a T or P to indicate tiebreaker Total Points or Point Spread. These 9 lines will be stored in a data file called 'FBHEADER'. If this file exists, then the program will use the lines found in the file to create the selection sheet. If a custom file 'FBHEADER' already exists then the user may change only selected lines. The computer will show user each line and if he wants to change it, he simply types in the new line. If he does not want to change it he presses the Enter key the next line will be displayed. If he makes a mistake he can cancel the whole process and return to Utility Menu by pressing the Esc key. TIE BREAKER POINTS. Some users prefer to use the point spread of the Monday night game as the tie breaker. The selection sheet can now be printed so that it will show 'POINT SPREAD' instead of 'TOTAL POINTS'. This is done at the time the user is setting up the customized selection sheet. Put P or T in last line of 'FBHEADER' to indicate 'POINT SPREAD' OR 'TOTAL POINTS'. The program will prompt user for a 'P' or 'T' when creating the 'FBHEADER' file. Here is an example of what the 'FBHEADER' file might look like: .PICK TEAMS YOU THINK WILL WIN. MOST GAMES PICKED RIGHT WINS. .IN THE EVENT OF TIES, TOTAL POINTS SCORED IN MONDAY NIGHT GAME .WILL BE USED AS TIE-BREAKER. .FILL IN AND TEAR OFF BOTTOM STUB AND TURN IT IN TO FRANK IN .ENGINEERING BY FRIDAY AFTERNOON (OFF HOURS ONLY PLEASE). .OR MARTY FOR WEEKS: #7 & #12 ONLY. (WED. FOR WEEKS WITH THUR. GAMES.) !WEEKLY & SEASONAL REPORTS WILL BE POSTED ON LUNCHROOM BULLETIN BOARDS. %IF YOU DO NOT CIRCLE A GAME YOU WILL BE GIVEN THE HOME TEAM (ODD NO.).

Football Fun Page 19. ======================================================== 2.0.0 SEASONAL DATABASE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM 2.1.0 Purpose The seasonal database was developed at the request of users of the Football Fun Game. It is for accumulating the results of the weekly football pool. Each week after the results have been printed for the office pool, the pool coordinator can cause the current weeks results to be added to the seasonal database and a report can be printed showing how many games each contestant has won for the entire season-to-date. It may be used to conduct a pool for the whole season. It also accumulates the total point differences which show up on the weekly final report. These points can be used to break ties on the seasonal report. The report is sorted by most games won and least point differences. New players who are not stored in the seasonal database may still participate in the weekly pool. They will be added to the seasonal database when this weeks results are accumulated. Some players stored in the seasonal database may not want to participate in a season pool. If you place an asterisk '*' in front of the first name of all players who are competing in the seasonal database, then you may have the competing and non-competing players mixed together and still be able to print a report showing only the competing players. A player who is competing in the seasonal pool will have a name like, *JOHN SMITH 2.2.0 Getting Started When you are looking at the Football Fun Weekly Menu you will see an item which looks like this: 6.

Football Fun Page 24. ======================================================== 2.8.0 Operating On Serial Printer. If you have a serial printer instead of a parallel printer you must tell DOS to switch the printer output to the serial port (COM1:) instead of the parallel port (LPT1:). You do this by typing the following commands at the DOS prompt: MODE COM1:96,N,8,1,P MODE LPT1=COM1 the 96 in the first MODE command means that your printer is set to receive data from the computer at 9600 baud. If your serial printer is set at some other baud rate, like 2400, then you should substitute 24 for the 96 in the MODE command. The 2 Mode commands assume that your printer is connected to COM1. If it is connected to COM2 then you should substitute COM2 for the COM1 in both MODE commands. These 2 commands can be placed in your AUTOEXEC.BAT file. These commands must be executed before you type FFUN to start the program.
