KPW95v10.ZIP Ken's Parley for Windows 1995 Version 1.0 by Ken Fose ----------------------------------------------------------------- Program Information: ----------------------------------------------------------------- Program Name, Category, Keywords: --------------------------------- Name - Ken's Parley for Windows 1995 Category - Windows (Utilities) Keywords - NFL FOOTBALL POOL PARLEY WINDOWS SHAREWARE Short Description: ------------------ Ken's Parley for Windows ($20/$10 upgd) can be used each week of the 1995 NFL regular season to run football pools. The schedule is already loaded, it handles 100's of players, and "New User Tips" takes the mystery out of each step. 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 95 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(click TIE for Monday) * 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 KPW95.DTA to KPW95.JNK, then copy KPW95.OLD to KPW95.DTA. ----------------------------------------------------------------- SETUP ----------------------------------------------------------------- 1.
