BUL can be used to print only the overall or section winners for your monthly bulletin or for some other reason. This command was originally designed to produce output for daily tournament bulletins. A window with the following options will appear on the screen:
1 Bulletin - section rankers, roster or qualifiers
2 Event - overall rankers, KO pairings, roster or qualifiers
3 Tourn - Top 2 overalls
4 Tourn - Top 3 overalls
5 Sectop - Section Winners
6 Press release for winners
If you select any of these options and the game file has more than one section, the section letters and names of that session will be displayed for you to tag the ones you want by pressing space bar (or F8 key to tag all).
Suggestions for web publishing: #1 Bulletin for regular club masterpoint games and both #1 Bulletin and #2 Event for Club Championship or other events that have an overall rank.
Next, you will need to select the destination of output which can be one of the following:
1 Screen
2 Printer
3 File for current printer
4 File with tabs and codes
5 Text file with spacing and headings
6 Use a saved configuration file
7 HTML file for posting on the internet
If option 3, 4, 5 or 7 is selected, ACBLscore will ask you where to store (i.e., file location) and what to name the file. Use option #1 Screen to preview what the output will look like. To post results on the web, select option #7 HTML file, and when prompted for width, specify 72.
Next, if you selected "section rankers" (the "bulletin" option in the first list above), you can decide what information to incude from the list:
*1 scores
2 masterpoints (session awards only)
3 Two columns (N-S, E-W)
4 Percentages instead of scores
*5 cities
*6 states
7 player numbers
*8 combine all strata
9 roster or qualifiers instead of section leaders
10 Save settings
11 Limit depth of section leaders
Use the space bar to tag or untag information you wish to include. A check mark appears beside the selected items. * in the above list indicates the default tagged items. Tagging item #3 (Two columns) will produce E-W beside N-S. The default (untagged) will report E-W below N-S (one column). Tag # 9 to produce a roster of all participants, and if qualification by section fields is enabled, the qualifers only will be output. Tag #10 to save settings. Settings that will be saved include: output destination; tagged items; and if the output is a file, the location and file name. If #10 is tagged, you will be prompted for the name of the configuration file. This saved configuration can later be used by selecting "6 Use a saved configuration" as the destination.
If you selected "Event - overall rankers", you can decide what information to include from the list:
*1 scores
*2 masterpoints
*3 KO match pairings
4 Percentages instead of scores
*5 cities
*6 states
7 player numbers
*8 combine all strata
9 roster or qualifiers instead of event leaders
10 Save settings
11 Limit depth of event leaders
12 Club names (STACs only)
Use the space bar to tag or untag information you wish to include. A check mark appears beside the selected items. * in the above list indicates the default tagged items. Item #3 (KO match pairings) will prompt you to enter team numbers that are playing matches in a knockout event. This item has no effect on other events. Tag # 9 to produce a roster of all participants, and if qualification by overall rank is enabled, the qualifers only will be output. Tag #10 to save settings. Settings that will be saved include: output destination; tagged items; and if the output is a file, the location and file name. If #10 is tagged, you will be prompted for the name of the configuration file. This saved configuration can later be used by selecting "6 Use a saved configuration" as the destination.
If you select one of the "tourn" options, the output will be limited to the top two or three (depending on your choice) pairs' rank, name, city, and state.
