The ASP
=======
This program is produced by a member of the Association of Shareware
Professionals (ASP).  ASP wants to make sure that the shareware
principle works for you.  If you are unable to resolve a
shareware-related problem with an ASP member by contacting the member
directly, ASP may be able to help.  The ASP Ombudsman can help you
resolve a dispute or problem with an ASP member, but does not provide
technical support for members' products.  Please write to the ASP
Ombudsman at 545 Grover Road, Muskegon, MI USA 49442-9427, FAX
616-788-2765, or send a CompuServe message via CompuServe Mail to ASP
Ombudsman 70007,3536


PLEASE NOTE
===========
Your attention is drawn to the possibility that a later version of the
software has been released, compared to the version which you are
evaluating.  Later versions may have modified the terms, conditions and
price relating to registration.  Prior to undertaking registration you
are advised to contact the authors for confirmation of current pricing
etc.

About This Application
======================
Soccer ScoreSheet is a Microsoft Windows (c) compatible application for
managing (English-style) football league and football competition data.
This includes all details for league structure (league/divisions/teams
etc.), plus all fixture information.  This makes the application ideal
for management of any football fixture arrangement - and the authors are
aware that several users do in fact use this specifically for management
of minor and Sunday league details.

Also included, although it is not a requirement to use these, are
advanced options for use with football pools competitions - employing
user-configurable algorithms based upon result data the user can obtain
suggestions for the most likely outcome of matches yet to be played,
based upon the real evidence of recent team home and away form.

The authors do not wish nor intend to mis-represent the capabilities of
this application.  This is *NOT* a 'Pools Prediction Program', because
the authors do not believe that any mathematical model/formula can ever
provide an entirely reliable forecasting method.  This application may
help to improve the chances of winning something via football pools
competitions, but it should not be taken for granted that it will.

Like other applications, Soccer ScoreSheet represents the culmination of
many thousands of hours of software development effort.  The authors
would be delighted to hear from you about improvements which you would
like to see incorporated.

Contacting The Authors

Warranty
========
There is no warranty provided with this application whatsoever, other
than a 10-day return-for-replacement warranty relating specifically to
any physical media which may have been provided by the authors.  The
user is entirely responsible for all risks associated with the
installation and use of this product.

Installation
============
Installation of this shareware is mandatory as several files are
provided in a compressed format.  This is a very simple process which
will NOT modify your system files in any way - de-installation is also
very straightforward, as explained in the Windows on-line help provided.

To install:

   1) Start Windows.
   2) From Program Manager select 'File' then 'Run' menu options.
   3) Execute the 'SETUP.EXE' program provided.

From this point on you will be provided with several options which you
can modify if you wish.  Otherwise just accept the default values
suggested.  Installation is completely automatic, and will result in a
new Program Manager group being created from where the application can
be started.

The main executable for this application is SOCCER.EXE.

Registration
============
Soccer ScoreSheet is released as SHAREWARE.  The shareware version may be
freely distributed for evaluation purposes - providing that it is
distributed in its original form as supplied to you, without
modification.  THIS INCLUDES RUNNING THE PROGRAM ON YOUR EQUIPMENT AND
UPLOADING/DISTRIBUTING THE FILES CREATED/UPDATED (the reason for this is
that you will start the evaluation period as soon as you run the
program, and this will prevent others from gaining a full evaluation
period).

Benefits and other attributes of registration are fully detailed within
the Windows on-line help provided with this application, under the
section entitled "Registration".  The authors can only be held
responsible for benefits, terms, conditions, and price as laid down in
the latest release version (this is deemed to be the latest shareware
version which is publicly available on Compuserve).

Shareware is *not* freeware.  Users may install and evaluate the product
for a period not exceeding 30 (thirty) days from first installation,
after which they must discontinue using it - or pay the authors the
required registration fee.

Please support the shareware concept - only by people registering will
shareware authors feel committed to enhancing their products further, in
the knowledge that people have appreciated the efforts involved enough
to provide a small incentive to continue.
