* Fixture Lists *
To have got this far, you must have already created your
main fixture list, or loaded in an existing one from disk.
The fixture list screen lets you either view (and alter if
necessary) an existing list, or create a new sub-list.
If you haven't already read the help page that describes the
way fixture lists operate, then you should do so now (quit
the fixture list screen, go back to the fixture list menu,
making sure you save anything that you've created, and then
press HELP).
The screen should show you the titles of all the fixture
lists - the Main List, Pools List and then several others
just described as Sub-List 1, Sub-List 2 etc.
Clicking on one of these titles will do one of two things -
If the list has already been created, then you will be shown
all of the fixtures contained within it. To alter any that are
incorrect, just click on the 'offending' match - you will be
given the chance to re-enter that one match. When viewing a
list of matches, you can add others to it by clicking on
'Add More'. This feature can be useful if you have created a
Main List from the bookies long list, but found that the
pools coupon contains a few extra matches, not on the list.
All you'd need to do is view the Pools list, click on Add More
and enter the extra ones (the bulk of the list will have been
automatically generated from the Main List).
If you click on the title of a list that has not been created
before, you will be asked for the list name.
This will more than likely be the Sections List of the bookies
coupons, or perhaps a Short List.
When creating Sections Lists, you should treat each section as
a separate list, naming them Sections List A, Sections List B
and so on - the reasons for this will become apparent later.
After entering the list name, you will be transferred back to
the team-entry grid - you need to enter all of the matches
that belong in your chosen list, the same way as before,
except this time, you only need to enter the home teams' name.
The away team will be automatically filled in (unless the
match wasn't included in your Main-List in which case you'll
be asked for both teams).
This process is exceptionally quick - you're only entering
one team name, and you're not having to bother with the
'On-Pools' icon as before.
That's it really - when you have created all the lists that
you require, exit the menu, and you will be given the
opportunity to save the lists to disk.
The lists are saved as one complete group, or fixture file.
Rather than messing around with filenames etc, the
fixture files are saved into pre-named 'slots' -
Fixture File 1,2 & 3.
You choose which one you want to save your data into - it
makes no difference, so long as you know what file is where.
You may find it useful to devise some kind of regular
system - eg: Midweek Coupons in file 1, Weekend in 2 etc.
