Prize fund calculations in software?
« on: February 08, 2011, 12:37:39 AM »
Do any of the Secretary software packages allow for calculation of team and individual prize funds?  We have individual scratch/handicap awards for game and series.  There are more paid spots for handicap and the money amount is larger for the handicap awards.  This has made it difficult for our secretary to figure out where each bowler would fall on the prize list.  Only one score can be used from a given week, either a high game or high series.  How is this handled in other leagues? Our secretary is looking for way to simplify the prize fund, but most are resistent to change.

I just looked at the by-laws for a league that I sub in.  They only allow an individual to cash on one of the prize lists.  My league currently allows you to cash in all 4 individual categories, high game scratch/handicap and high series scratch/handicap.  All those scores have to shot on different nights, but basically having 4 great nights could score big at the end of the year.  Do most leagues only allow you to cash in one category?  This would help simplify the prize list, but I do enjoy those years when I rake in the dough.

not 100% sure, but I think CDE Software's BLS program will handle what you need

Downloading the demo version now to give it a whirl and see what it can do.  Thanks.  Any more feedback from anyone on how your league handles prize funds?

Never found what the league or tournament versions do turn out to be very accurate or helpful. Really strange results. I have the CDE tournament and league software. Gave up and hand calculate.
