PRINT OPTIONS MENU ================== This menu contains all of the print options used to control how an average sheet will appear when printed. By changing various options, a fully customized printout may be generated. The options used to produce the sheet may then be saved to disk for use at a later time. Along side of each option is the initial default setting as set by the Deafults Editor which were saved to disk along with the Team and Bowler databases when the league was first defined in Setup. Any changes made to the "Default Parameters Menu" (Main Menu option 1), will be reflected here.

The number of bowler names printed for each award are determined by the values assigned to each option. This standard sheet consists of: o League Name o Bowler Averages o Bowler HIGH SERIES o Bowler HIGH SINGLES o Bowler HIGH NO MARKS o Bowler SIXTY NINES o Team Standings Print League Name (default "Y") ----------------- A setting of "Y" will cause the current League Name to be printed, boardered with "*"'s both above and below. Also, the current date (in MM-DD-YYYY format), will be printed in the upper right hand corner of the page. This option is internally set to "Y" for database dumps and cannot be changed. Round Averages (default "N") -------------- Change this option to "Y" to print averages rounded to the nearest 10th of a pin. For example, 120.578 would be printed as 120.6, with the default setting, it would be printed as 120.5 Number of AVERAGES (default "*" = all) ------------------ This option specifies the maximun number of bowler names to print when printing averages. The default is "*", all bowlers. To omit averages from the printout, enter a value of 0. BowlStat divides the average sheet into two halves (a left and right). LADIES averages will be printed in the left half and MENS averages will appear in the right (ladies before gentlemen). If the league is a "mens or ladies only" league, BowlStat will print the averages in the left column only. Enhanced AVERAGES (default "N") ----------------- Normally, the average award consists of the bowlers name and average. The printout may be enhanced by changing the default option to "Y". Along with the bowlers name and average, the current total pinfall and the number of strings bowled will also appear. To make room for the enhanced information, BowlStat will print only the initial of the bowlers first name. With the option at default, as much of the first name will be printed, determined by existing column limitations. NORMAL: Stone, Kevin 172.8 ENHANCED: Stone, K. 3456 20 172.8 Print SPARES (default "Y") ------------ To omit "Spare" bowlers from ALL printouts, change the default option to "N". All sheets printed will contain only regular bowlers. Number of HIGH SERIES (default "3") --------------------- Enter the number of bowler names to print for the "HIGH SERIES" award. To omit this award from the prinout, enter a value of 0. Number of HIGH SINGLES (default "3") ---------------------- Enter the number of bowler names to print for the "HIGH SINGLE" individual award. To omit this award form the printout, enter a value of 0. Number of HI NO MARKS (default "3") --------------------- The HIGH NO MARK award is used in the Candlepin Bowling game. It is the string score of a bowler who has fail to either bowl a strike or spare and indicates how well a bowler has "pinned". Enter the number of bowler names to print for the "HIGH NO MARK" individual award. To omit this award form the printout, enter a value of 0. Number of SIXTY NINES (default "2") --------------------- The SIXTY NINES award is used in the Candlepin Bolwing game. It is number of strings in which a bowler has scored a vaule of 69 in one of the frames bowled. For every one bowled, the bowler contributes a sum of money ($.25) to a pot and the bowler with the highest total at the end of the season receives all of the money collected. Enter the number of bowler names to print for the "69'S" individual award. To omit this award form the printout, enter a value of 0. Print CLUB SCORES (default "Y") ----------------- BowlStat will print all bowler names and scores for anyone who meets the minimum club requirements, as defined in the Default Parameters Menu. The club can be either an individual string or high series. If CLUB SCORES are not to be printed, change the default option to "N". SINGLE CLUB: DATE NAME 1 2 3 TOTAL ---- ---- --------------------- 03-07-1991 Kevin Stone 198 SERIES CLUB: DATE NAME 1 2 3 TOTAL ---- ---- --------------------- 03-07-1991 Kevin Stone 201 183 196 580 BowlStat retrieves the Club Scores from the Yearly Statistics file. Because the file becomes larger, as more Yearly Statistics are added, the printout speed will decrease over time. This is normal and should be no cause for concern. Print TEAM STANDINGS (default "Y") -------------------- This option turns on/off the printing of team standings. Standings will appear in the order of points WON, from highest to lowest. If Team Standings are not required, change the default option to "N". Enhanced TEAM STANDINGS (default = "N") ----------------------- If Team Standings are to be printed, they can be enhanced with this option. Along with the normal output of Team Name, Point Won, Points Lost and Total Points, BowlStat will include Total Pinfall, High Single, High Series and the percentage of wins vs losses. NORMAL: POINTS TEAM NAME WON LOST TOTAL --------- ------------------ Kingpins 32 12 44 ENHANCED: TOTAL POINTS HIGH TEAM NAME PINFALL WON LOST TOTAL % AVG. SINGLE SERIES --------- ------- ------------------ ------ -------------- Kingpins 1234 32 12 44 87.5 643 1343 Eject PAGE When Done (deafult = "Y") -------------------- This option is valid only if the avearage sheet is to be printed on a printer, as selected by the OUTPUT MENU. By changing the default option to "N", the printer will NOT go to the top of the next page when the printing of the average sheet has been completed. The option is automatically set to "N" when the output device is either the SCREEN or DISK DRIVE. This option also allows average sheets to be customized to any requirements. By changing the default option to "N", an average sheet may be "built" in any order by overlaying sheets created with different print options. For example, to print Team Standings first then followed by bowler averages and individual awards: o Select sheet BY AVERAGE and output to PRINTER. 1) Enter "Y" or "N" to Print League Name option. 2) Enter 0 to the Number of AVERAGES option. (No Averages) 3) Enter 0 to the Number of HIGH SERIES, Number of HIGH SINGLES, Number of HIGH NO MARKS and Number of SIXTY NINES. 4) Enter "Y" to the Print TEAM STANDINGS option. 5) Enter "N" to the Eject PAGE When Done option. Print the average sheet by exiting the Print Options Menu with the ESC (escape) key. Since the Eject PAGE When Done option prevents the printer from performing a form feed to the next sheet, anything now printed will appear after the Team Standings. To conclude this example: 1) Enter "N" for the PRINT LEAGUE NAME option. 2) Enter the required value to the Number of AVERAGES, Number of HIGH SERIES, Number of HIGH SINGLES, Number of HIGH NO MARKS and Number of SIXTY NINES options. 3) Enter "N" to the Print TEAM STANDINGS option. Print the remainder of the average sheet. The result will be an average sheet in the following order: 1) League Name. 2) Team Standings. 3) Averages. 4) Individual Awards. By varying the "Y"/"N" and number entries to the various print options, BowlStat can build a printout to any requirements. Once the desired format has been obtained, the individual options can be saved to disk as a set and loaded back in to speed up the printing process. In the above example, the two separate sets of print options could be saved to disk under the filenames of PART1 and PART2. Then, to print the average sheet, the options can be loaded back into BowlStat. Once the ESC (escape) key has been pressed to exit the Print Options Menu, BowlStat will ask if the print options currently in effect should be saved to disk. If they are, enter "Y" to the following confimation prompt: "Save Print Format? (Y/N):". Enter a filename (maximum length of 8 characters) in which to store the print options. NOTES: Average sheet building is also possible to the DISK DRIVE. When prompted for a name to save the average sheet under, enter the same name as a previously printed average sheet. BowlStat will ask the following confirmation: "SHEET EXISTS! OK to APPEND to it? (Y/N):". Enter "Y" and press the "Enter" or "Return" key. The sheet, as defined by the current print options, will be appended to the file currently on the disk drive.
