The League Tabulator.

Handling Errors
A game has been entered whose result will go into page 2, a bit too early, so 'c' is entered.
The top of the screen shows the games played for those teams.
Check the card, Ok the game should have been 3 v 9. Press Enter to quit.
Enter 'p' twice to get back to home team 3 and continue inputting results.
If there is no space for the game an error message appears.
The first game below is entered twice to force the situation.
Attempting to enter it a third time invokes the error warning.
And again a check made to sort out the problem. Here page 2 is selected for clearing.
Back on track.
(A further few weeks results are put in here for this demonstration).
In the course of a season things go wrong:
Postponements, games played early, cards with teams reversed and cards from other leagues.
If the Rink Scheduler set up these leagues it can export a fixture list to this tabulator
providing the programme resides in the same folder.
To reconcile games go to the Utility Menu, (Main Menu, press Enter).
Selecting 'M' and entering at the prompt any withdrawn team numbers for exclusion,
the imported league program is read and attempts made to reconcile games.
Anomalies are searched out by eliminating games played according to the league program.
Unscheduled games are listed after 'Played'.
Outstanding games or future games identified from 'Played' are listed after 'Scheduled'.
Following 'Adjusting' are attempts to reconcile played games,
If a possible match is found the game is eliminated and the reason displayed.
The remainder are missing or unscheduled games.
The league secretary can now check the identified anomalies and correct them.
Looking at the results, 9-2 is obviously a reversed card.
1-2 brought forward from w20, check the card, OK game was brought forward.
7-8 brought forward from w26, check the card, ?!*&, it's from another league.
Press Enter to return to the Utilities Menu and Press R.
