My wife is in charge of scheduling 6-10 teams and keeping track of games,
games won/lost, champs tracking etc. Does anyone know of, use, provide,
or help in searching for a PC program that provides this kind of functionality?
Shareware would be nice. (BTW, I have seen a magazine titled "Shareware",
but don't know its origin, anyone have the publisher etc??) The games are
basketball, volleyball, etc.
TIA - and happy holidays

I've been reasonably impressed with a program called Sport-Sched. I
have Version 2.00, dated 11/22/88.
There is a SHAREWARE version, available for a small fee ($35) from the
author and a more capable version for very large leagues. The SHAREWARE
version is limited on the number of games that can be scheduled (1 or 2
hundred as I recall), but handles multiple small leagues, multiple
arenas, and both repeating and varying available time slots. Time slots
can be specified at the conference, division, and team levels.
It would make your 6-10 team league quite easy to do. The SHAREWARE
version is not sufficient for the 45 team 400+ game conference that I
schedule. I find that interlocking leagues are possible to do, but
awkward and that the schedule produced is not random enough. The
program has a perverted sense of home arena, and is not sufficient in
that respect for the above mentioned conference, but will do for most
cases.
There is a BBS available for registered users.

with the shareware version).
