KPW94v10.ZIP Ken's Parley for Windows 1994 Version 1.0 by Ken Fose ----------------------------------------------------------------- Program Information: ----------------------------------------------------------------- Program Name, Category, Keywords: --------------------------------- Name - Ken's Parley for Windows 1994 Category - Windows (Utilities) Keywords - PARLEY NFL WINDOWS POOL Short Description: ------------------ Ken's Parley for Windows can be used each week of the 1994 NFL regular season to process parleys. It was designed for the person having to enter the picks for hundreds of players each week. Longer Description: ------------------ Ken's Parley for Windows only takes a few seconds to enter each pick. The program determines the winning player(s) and prints reports minutes after entering the winning teams. The 'normal' week would be to: * 1. Assign spots to each game using any source desired. (You may want to assign your own spots.) 2. Print team sheets for players to fill out. The 94 NFL schedule is already loaded. 3. Enter each player's picks. (there is a timer to measure proficiency). * 4. Pass out reports showing the player's picks for the week. * 5. Enter the results after Sunday's games. * 6. Calculate the winner(s) - so far. * 7. Print the current week's results to see who's winning going into the Monday night. Monday's game counts just like a Sunday, but also would probably be used for tie breaker purposes. 8. Enter the results after Monday Night's game. 9. Calculate the final winning player(s). The amount of money to be distributed is the number of players for the week times the amount per player. You can override this amount. You may want to hold some money for an end-of-season winner AND/OR for shipping and handling charges. Why not recoup your registration fee? 10. Print the current weeks results and/or YTD reports. 11. Close the week. * - optional steps Except for closing the week, each of these steps can be run any number of times. In the event that you do have to UNDO the close - rename KPW94.DTA then copy KPW94.OLD to KPW94.DTA. ----------------------------------------------------------------- SETUP ----------------------------------------------------------------- 1.
