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 ÉÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍ» º LEAGUE/TEAM INFORMATION º ÌÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍËÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍ͹ ºLeague º º º Nameº º ÌÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÊÍÍÍÍÍÍÍËÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍ͹ º# Teams in League º 0 º º# Bowlers Per Teamº 0 º ÈÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÊÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍͼ 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 -------------------- ÌÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÎÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍ͹ ºTeam Name º PINBUSTERS º ºTeam Handicap º +10 º ºPoints Won º 0 º ºPoints Lost º 0 º ºHigh Series º 0 º ºHigh Single º 0 º ºTotal Pinfall º 0 º ÈÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÊÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍͼ 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".

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".
