@X0C                     Football Pool On-line Help


@X0E       This is a real time football pool just like the one in the
@X0E       office, we don't bet money here its just for fun.

@X0C (P)  Pick this weeks games

@X0E       Use this command to enter your winning picks. You will be
@X0E       shown a listing of all the games and your pick for each
@X0E       game will be displayed at the right. Use the letter to the
@X0E       left of each game to toggle between Home, Visitor or Tie game.
@X0E       The first time you use this game all of your picks will be
@X0E       defaulted to the Home team. Any weeks you are unable to play
@X0E       you may still get a chance of winning a few games because
@X0E       after the scores are updated all of your picks may be defaulted
@X0E       to the home team for the next weeks play. This is an option
@X0E       that can be set up by the sysop.

@X0E       You may change your picks anytime during the week. The pick
@X0E       function will be disabled after the 1st game of the week starts
@X0E       so you will only be able to view your picks during this time.
@X0E       The scores are updated and new games put in after the last
@X0E       Game is over.

@X0C (L)  TTY Line Mode Picking

@X0E       Some players have problems viewing the full screen display
@X0E       that the Pick screen provides. This command allows entry of
@X0E       of all games and last game points in line by line format.

@X0E       you do not have any ansi driver loaded when you entered.

@X0E       You are the coach calling the plays. You are credited with time
@X0E       for making a correct call and lose time if you are sacked.

@X0E       The sysop may impose a minimum number of games be played for winning
@X0E       percentage calculation. This keeps a player who has only played
@X0E       one or two weeks from having the higher percentages. During this
@X0E       time it will show 00.00%. The next display will show a listing of
@X0E       the winner's for each week of the pool.

@X0E       be used as a Conference Standing screen or anything of interest.
@X0E       It could also be used to display the point spread if the sysop
@X0E       wishes to run the door on the Vegas Point Spread System.



@X0A                          How points are scored

@X0E       receive 1 bonus point for correctly guessing the total points
