- Setup Mode
- ==========
-
- Setup mode is used to define information required by BowlStat. This
- information includes:
-
- o League Name.
- o Number of teams.
- o Number of bowlers per team.
- o Team names/handicaps.
- o Bowler information.
-
-
- League Name & Size
- ------------------
-
- INPUT LEAGUE DATA
-
- ╔═════════════════════════════════════╗
- ║ LEAGUE/TEAM INFORMATION ║
- ╠══════════╦══════════════════════════╣
- ║League ║ ║
- ║ Name║ ║
- ╠══════════╩═══════╦══════════════════╣
- ║# Teams in League ║ 0 ║
- ║# Bowlers Per Team║ 0 ║
- ╚══════════════════╩══════════════════╝
-
- Fill in the above panel to define the league name and size.
- Although there is a maximum capacity of 891 bowlers (99 teams X 9 per
- team), only the actual number need be defined. This will allow for faster
- operations as less information needs to be processed. Remember to leave
- enough room for league expansion as, once defined, it's size cannot be
- changed.
-
- The League Name may be a maximum of 50 characters (2 lines by 25
- characters each). BowlStat treats each line in the League Name field as a
- separate line, therefore, it is necessary to press the "Enter" or "Return"
- key at the end of the first line - the cursor will NOT automatically drop
- down to the second line after the 25th character has been typed.
-
- The second line should only be used if line one is not sufficient
- to hold the entire length of the league name. If line one is not
- completely filled, any information on line two will be appended to that of
- line one.
-
- For example:
-
- LINE 1 - "HALIFAX " (note the space)
- LINE 2 - "GREEN DORY"
-
- This would yield a league name of "HALIFAX GREEN DORY"
-

- Team Names/Handicaps
- --------------------
-
- ╠══════════════════╬══════════════════╣
- ║Team Name ║ PINBUSTERS ║
- ║Team Handicap ║ +10 ║
- ║Points Won ║ 0 ║
- ║Points Lost ║ 0 ║
- ║High Series ║ 0 ║
- ║High Single ║ 0 ║
- ║Total Pinfall ║ 0 ║
- ╚══════════════════╩══════════════════╝
-
-
- Once the League Name and size has been defined, the "LEAGUE/TEAM
- INFORMATION" menu will be appended with the above panel. Depending on the
- number of teams defined, BowlStat will ask for a Team Name and Team
- Handicap to be entered. Handicaps may be in the range of -99 to +99 pins
- and Team Names are limited to a maximum size of 14 characters.
-
- BowlStat initalizes the team database to all blank records before
- requesting any information. Therefore, if only a few teams are required to
- be defined, enter the known information. Once entered, press the escape
- 'ESC' key. The remaining information will be set to default values.
- Later, more information may be added by the Main Menu option "TEAM -
- Edit".

-
- Once the Team Names and Handicaps have been completed, the
- "LEAGUE/TEAM INFORMATION" panel will be replced by the "BOWLER
- INFORMATION" panel. Depending on the number of bowlers defined (number of
- teams X number per team), BowlStat will ask for bowler information
- consisting of the following fields:
-
- o Last Name - 14 characters maximum
- o First Name - 14 characters maximum
- o Sex - M, F or ~
- o Team - 14 characters maximum
- o Spare - Y or N
-
-
- A counter at the bottom of the screen keeps track of the bowlers
- that have been defined and those still requiring information to be
- entered.
-
- BowlStat initalizes the bowler database to blank entries before
- requesting any information. Therefore, 'blank bowlers' can be added to the
- database, which can be filled out at a later date (for new additions to
- your league). To create blank bowler records, follow the following steps:
-
- 1) Add the number of blank entries (in team multiples) to the total number
- of teams.
-
- 2) Enter all known bowler information, leaving the blanks till the end.
-
- 3) Press the escape "ESC" key. BowlStat will leave SETUP and assign the
- remaining entries as blank.
-
-
- The "~" Character
- -----------------
-
- The tilde "~" character has special meaning in BowlStat and is used
- to indicate that the field should be ignored. This allows flexability when
- handling transient or Spare bowlers. Uses for the "~" character are:
-
- 1) Ignore pinfall.
-
- Pinfall for any bowler with a Team Name of "~" will NOT be counted
- toward any specific TEAMS TOTAL PINFALL, since BowlStat does not
- recognize "*" as a valid team name.
-
- 2) Surpress printing.
-
- Any bowler with a "Team" name of "~" will not appear on any average
- sheet that has been printed "by TEAM" or any Captain Sheet.
-
- Any bowler with a "Sex" of "~" will not appear on any average sheet
- printed "by AVERAGE" or "by NAME (ALPHABETICALLY).
-
-
- Warning: BowlStat uses "~" in the "Last Name" field to indicate a blank
- bowler record. Should the Last Name field be changed to "~"
- with the editor, it is possible that the information currently
- in the record will be erased if a new bowler is added via the
- Main Menu option "BOWLER - Add".
