ATA SHOOT PROGRAM BY R ATA SHOOT PROGRAM BY R.J. STUART The ATA SHOOT PROGRAM by R.J.

Jan 28, 2013 We are in need of a scoring program for both league and youth. We think that they can be the same. We are actively soliciting recommendations of a.

STUART is a full featured computerized cashier program that is intended to simplify and quicken the tasks of calculating shooting results for an ATA registered shoot. It is also designed to relieve you of the cumbersome job of compiling scores and yardage moves that needs to be submitted to the ATA at the conclusion of the shoot. The layout of the program is all menu driven which makes it easy to use even for the first time computer user. ATA MASTER DATA BASE FILES The program can take advantage of master data base files that can be generated by the ATA from their main frame computer.

These files can be merged into the shoot program. When this is done, you need only type in the seven digit ATA number of a shooter, the shoot program will then find the shooter’s record in the master file and display the name and address of the shooter.

Your initial purchase of the ATA Shoot Program includes a recent CD of this master data base. EASY ENTRY OF SHOOTERS AND SCORES At the beginning of the shoot, you would first describe to the shoot program the type of events you are having for the day, the target costs, daily fees, type of options, and option entry costs. When you begin to enter the shooters into the system, you need only enter the shooter’s ATA number, the system will find the shooter from the master listing. You would then be asked event by event and option by option if the shooter is entered and what squad and post he is entered in. Entry of the shooters can be in any order.

When it comes time to enter the scores, you need only to specify what event and squad you want, and the system will display the shooters in the squad and a place to enter the scores for each shooter by sub event. HIGH GUN LISTING After all the entries and scores have been made, the shoot program will then sort and compile a listing of all the shooters from high score to low score, by yardage groups or class, and by category. This list could then be used to determine shoot off’s and trophy awards. BULLETIN SHEETS Using a wide carriage printer, one that can handle 16” paper width, you can print the bulletin sheets. The sheet will contain the shooters name, ATA number, list of options played, class or yardage, shooters category, if any, and scores by sub event and total. If your printer is equipped to print multi-color, 25’s, 100’s and 200’s will print in red. CALCULATION OF OPTIONS All major options are include in the program for automatic calculations and payoffs.

These options include; common lewis, modified lewis or also called jackpot lewis, high gun purse, variable high gun purse using the Remington high gun table, 25’s and 50’s for handicap events, class options for doubles and the ATA point system. The high gun purses can be calculated by class if needed. After the calculations are complete, the system will print out the results of what shooters won money, what score, and how much they won. This information is then automatically posted to the shooters daily file. At the end of the day, when all events are completed, you would then be able to have all shooters winning money have their winnings totaled, and a listing of these winners and their monies printed. If this listing passes your inspection, the shoot program would then print out a check for each winner, listing on the receipt part of the check how much money the shooter won in each event.

This helps the shooters define where they won the money and prevents numerous questions to the cashier staff. Tractor feed computer checks are needed for this feature. You can set the parameters of how breakage is figured.

Breakage may be figured in one of five ways. Down to the penny, down to the quarter, down to the dollar, rounded to the quarter, and rounded to the dollar. PAY-OUT SHEET One of the tedious tasks of running a shoot is what I call the cleanup work at the end. Compiling all of the checks and stuffing them into an envelope with a pay-out sheet.

Creating that pay-out sheet has always been very time consuming. Most people I know do it with a word processor and copy all of the options information into the pay-out sheet.

With the ATA SHOOT PROGRAM this is done for you. You don’t have to worry about typo’s or transposed numbers. When you compile an option, the computer asks if you want to dump the information into a pay-out sheet file. You still will need a word processor to clean up the sheet, cut and paste the information into a presentable form, but all of the hard work is done for you. CLASSIFICATION The shoot program allows you to enter classification for each shooter into the shooters master file. This classification could be changed if a shooter wins a class or yardage.

This classification can be automatically added to the shooters daily file when the shooter is added into a days event. ATA REPORT At the end of the shoot, the shoot program will compile all the shooters and their scores and create a list that can be submitted to the ATA as an official ATA report. This report can also be submitted in disk form to the ATA. Additional hard copy lists can be made to be submitted for state associations files. This eliminates the hours of searching for shooters scores and transferring those scores to the tissue forms. CASHIER REPORT The shoot program will provide you with a cashier’s report that will list by event the number of entries, total monies collected by targets and options, and a breakdown of each option giving you the total number of entries in that option and the amount of money collected.

A summary total of this information is then provided at the end of the report. EARNED YARDAGE REPORT When a handicap event has been concluded and all scores have been entered, the program can generate an earned yardage report using the current table from the official rule book.

All appropriate rules apply including not calculating industry shooters into the table but awarding yardage to those industry shooters who win the yardage. This report has a place to circle when the yardage has been punched and can be sent as part of your official report. There is no need to recopy this information onto an official report form. DETAIL REPORT OF PAST SHOOT SCORES The Shoot Program has the ability to look up a shooters master file and then cross reference that file to all shoots on record in your computer and display the scores shot, as well as options played by the shooter.

This will be of great aid to the classification committee at you shoot. EQUIPMENT REQUIREMENTS IBM AT-386, AT-486, Pentium, or 100% compatible. How To Install Cracked Burnout Paradise on this page. At least a 20 meg hard disk drive. A minimum of 1 meg of memory.

At least one printer, wide carriage is needed for bulletin sheets. MS-DOS ver 5.0 or latter, Windows 3.11, Windows 95, 98, 98se, 2000, NT, and XP. COMPUTERIZED ENTRY CARDS The tiresome job of preparing the entry cards for a shoot has been eliminated. The computerized entry card system allows you to quickly prepare your entry cards for any shoot, customized specifically for that shoot with just a few key strokes. The actual entry cards are a generic blank stock which comes in three different colors and is fed through the printer using standard tractor feed.

The entry card software prompts the user for the appropriate information about the shooting event. You answer the questions such as type of event, singles, handicap, doubles, name of the club and shoot, date, price of the targets and daily fees, and up to 8 options and option prices. You then tell the computer what squad and position to start with and end with. The computerized entry card software fills in the blanks, indexing the squad and position with every card it prints. Your entry cards look professional.

If attendance is up and you need more entry cards for a particular event, it just takes a few minutes to print another 5 or 10 squads of tickets, starting with the next squad in sequence. PRICING $99.00 Any support is on a limited and callback basis only.

DISCLAIMER In no way is the ATA SHOOT PROGRAM BY R.J. STUART connected with or is a part of the AMATEUR TRAPSHOOTING ASSOCIATION.

STUART has worked with the AMATEUR TRAPSHOOTING ASSOCIATION to obtain an approved format in which official reports may be submitted, both by hard copy and magnetic media. Reports generated by the Shoot Program will be accepted by the AMATEUR TRAPSHOOTING ASSOCIATION as official reports.

The AMATEUR TRAPSHOOTING ASSOCIATION holds no responsibility for results calculated by the ATA SHOOT PROGRAM BY R.J. Although all tables used for calculations in the program are current upon release of the program, and conform to the official trapshooting rules issued by the AMATEUR TRAPSHOOTING ASSOCIATION, when these rules or tables change, it is the responsibility of the customer to request appropriate changes in the Shoot Program from R.J. STUART, not the AMATEUR TRAPSHOOTING ASSOCIATION. NEW VERSION 7.75 The latest release version now contains printer driver support for Epson Bubble Jet printers and Hewlett Packard Desk Jet and Laser Jet printers. This version conforms to the new ATA shoot report export specifications of 2006.

A large part of the problem in trying to come up with 'Trap League Software' is that there are probably as many variations in how a league keeps it records as there are trap leagues. There may be even more variations since some leagues change what they want the records to show. How are teams set up?

Five person teams? All shooters from one club on the same team (in a multi-club league), are handicaps (not the yardages but scores)involved, how many shoots, what classes or categories are used, how are shooters who miss a shoot accounted for, how many targets in a match, are handicap yardages involved and probably two or three dozen more variations all enter into the needs of the software.

All those variations make each league's software needs different and probably unique to itself in some way or another. Download Free Mutate The Lab Rat 2 Hacked Arcadeprehacks Boxhead more. I have written Excel sheets for two different leagues and put most of a third league's desires into Excel packages. The third one mentioned was then scrapped after three weeks or so of development when the person wanting it failed to return answers to some questions and when pressed, then finally told me they went a different way.

So why is there no software available? Put down the particulars of YOUR league and then people who have written something for THEIR league may find that the needs of YOUR league can be accommodated by slight modifications of THEIR league's software.

All of this is predicated on using software that is either open source, public domain or copyright released. If there is a copyright involved, that is another entirely different issue. Now what are YOU looking for from the software YOU want? PerazziTopSingle@hotmail.net, I tried sending you an E-Mail but two tries both resulted in a bounce so I will put the message here.

If you are interested, I can send you a copy of the two spreadsheets I have for the two leagues I run. Both are set up for multiple teams. One has Five clubs with one shoot a month, ten months of the year. This is a fifty bird match.

In this league all the teams go to one club for the shoot. This league has five clubs and the scores are the top five individual scores from each club making the score for the team. If there are not five shooters from that club, a zero is recorded for however many shooters are needed to make five. Points are awarded with Five points for the Highest team, four for the next etc. Ties both get equal points. Shooters are based on four classes, A, B, C, D and Juniors, Veterans and Ladies categories. Trophies are awarded to the High Gun in the League and the High Average in each of the listed classes and categories if there are at least five qualified shooters in the class or category.

You can check out what the results look like at: There are links from the home page to see match records and team records for the year. Just click on the 'Results';ink. League Rules are also available from the website. The second league has eight teams and shoots one night a week from May till August except for the three big ATA shoots (PA State, Eastern Zone and Grand). It is also a fifty bird match with the top five scores from each team making up the team score.

This is a much more complex spreadsheet that uses several Macros to speed the calculations. It is a home and away league with seven matches in each half season. Standings are based on a number of matches won basis. There is also a Pre-Season and a Post Season shoot but those scores do not enter into the League averages. This league has AA, A, B, C, D, Sr. Vet., Vet, Junior, Sub-Jr, Rookie and Ladies classes/categories. To see what this looks like you can visit the league web site at: Click on the dates on the quick report on the web page to see the weekly results and on the team name to see the team's record.

The League rules are available on-line. If you take a look and see something that may interest you let me know and I can send you a copy of the current spreadsheet for the league(s) you may be interested in.
