Tournament results

Posted on behalf of Ken Dowling.

A bowler enters a tournament and claims to have an average that is well below what should have been his actual entry average. More than a month after the tournament, the cover letter accompanying the final standings apologizes for being late due to the resolution of the dispute over the entry average. The final standings indicate an entry average of 225 and tournament average of 224. The bowler is rewarded with second place team, second place doubles, and first place team all events. No explanation in the cover letter by the tournament committee and nothing on the tournament.

Website up and available for new software program!

We are posting this blog on behalf of IGBO and Mr. Steve Straley. He has acquired a website and the tournament software program he has developed called IGBO-TS is available to down load on your computers for our member tournaments that are interested. I am inserting the directions on the download process directly from an email blast that Steve submitted on our einfogroups address.I am including Steve's email address in the event you have problems or questions regarding the site as well as the program itself. His email is stevestraley@gmail.com.

I finally have a general beta candidate for IGBO-TS (tournament software) available to anyone who wants to take a look.  Please see the computer/printer requirements located at http://trakkersoftware.us/IGBOTS_1.htm before installing.   The 1.0.7 full install needs to be installed first.  Once that is installed on your machine, you can then upgrade to 1.0.8 by downloading that ZIP file and unzipping the contents into their default folder paths burned into each file.  You can download all of these, as well as an older copy of the documentation and recent release notes, via this link: http://trakkersoftware.us/IGBOTS_download.html. 

If you are unfamiliar with IGBO-TS, you can go through “some” of the features starting at this link: http://trakkersoftware.us/IGBOTS_1.htm

We hope that you find this posting, the program, and it's creator helpful. We know many of you use and like BOWLTS, and we are by no means promoting one over the other. We will let you decide on which one fits your needs best.

We hope to see many of you at our upcoming tournament forum meeting in May during IGBO annual here in Atlanta.
