.. presenting the Race/Sports Pool Calculator

This is a sports pool calculator primarily designed for auto racing, but is hopefully flexible enough to be used for the majority of simple sports pools such as hockey, and baseball as well. This program requires Win95/98/XP, and was written in the Euphoria programming language.

(Feb./06) .. added 'reversed' reporting, in case you want to run a pool based on finishing order only, - and hopefully fixed XP printing.

The Race/Sports Pool Calculator is designed to eliminate the error-prone tedium of running a racing pool manually, and to simplify the 'frustration' and complication of using other programs like spreadsheets, databases and word processors to do all the necessary calculations.

With this calculator, all you do is enter the Cars or Teams which are part of your 'pool', enter all the contestants participating, and enter the Formula for each Entrant.
You then enter the Car's or Team's Points after every race or game, and Calculate the results. The program keeps all necessary information about your pool where it's handy, and sorts all the Files it uses to give you the information you need, all easily accessible.

Program Requirements and Restrictions.

The Formula must contain all Car/Team choices separated by a single comma. There is room for up to 14 two digit Car/Team numbers in the formula.

* Number Field Maximums *
Car Number -- 3 digits.
Latest Points -- 3 digits.
Total Car Points -- 6 digits.
Total Entrant Points -- 7 digits.
Formula Length -- 42 characters.

Printing
The program prints to the Windows default printer, or to a text file. When you select 'Print Results' the program will ask for a race description to append to the printout. ( 48 character maximum. )
Print Results to file creates 'Results.txt'
Entrants to file creates 'Entrants.txt'
Short to file creates 'Short.txt'
Car/Team Details to file creates 'Details.txt'
( printed either according to number or total points, depending on your last Sort choice.. default is according to points. ) You can use these files in any text editor or word-processor to do 'fancy' printing, such as add your own headings or footnotes and select the font you want, etc.
Note: The calculator comes with some small databases you can play with to get comfortable using it. You can delete the files, or list items, or edit them once you are ready to set up your own.

Have fun !
