RCP Software
Located in Shingle Springs, California, RCP Software is an innovative company formed in 2006 initially to
provide inexpensive yet powerful database software for bowling league secretaries and bowling centers.
However, our services have expanded and we now offer customized software creation that can provide a
wide variety of customized data management software and systems to a wide array of government
agencies and businesses.
Recently designed pre-packaged software will provide very powerful tools for bowling associations,
tournament directors/managers, tournament club managers, match club managers, league secretaries,
and others managing a wide variety of bowling events.
Customized database software can also be prepared very quickly for businesses and government.
Customized software has been prepared for and used by engineering technicians and California lawyers
handling appointed appeals. Case management software prototypes for trial courts are now available and
we will customize anything we have to fit your needs precisely. We are open to preparing special order
customized database applications to fit your needs. If you have a need for customized database software,
please call us.
Products supplied by RCP Software will always cost less and be far better than anything available
elsewhere. No software released for commercial distribution has ever been found to have a single bug
(code execution error) in it. The emphasis is on software that works extremely well, is easy to learn, and
is easy to use. Customers are generally able to work reasonably well with our software after only minutes
of education. Instructions are well written and have been the subject of many compliments. Applications
produced in 2010 and later have embedded self-teaching tutorials.
The initially created bowling data management software will continue to be available for all those who
have not yet transitioned to the latest era of computers and software engines such as Microsoft Office
2007 or 2010. The older Classic Line software will also run inside Excel 2007 or 2010 in Compatibility
Mode if you happen to purchase a new computer but don't need the expanded capabilities of the newest
software. All newly created software for government or business will required Microsoft Office 2007 or
later.
RCP Software can provide customized software for scoring sweepers, special events, doubles
tournaments (including a number of interesting variations on the standard men's or women's doubles such
as mixed doubles, generic doubles, hi-low doubles, Mulligan doubles), large singles tournaments,
marathon doubles or singles tournaments spread over multiple dates, events run simultaneously in
multiple counties or multiple states, or other specialized types of tournaments. It all works on any
standard Windows PC, including laptop computers, that are equipped with reasonably current versions of
Microsoft Excel and Microsoft Word. For examples that have been available for some time, look at
SuperSingles and DivvyItUp!
The initial bowling scoring software for scoring special events such as league sweepers was essentially
"proof of concept" software. It was all written to be run by Excel 2002 or 2003. It was written on a
challenge. It has been very well received and has been used successfully to score many special events
and not just those limited to ordinary league sweepers. Huge singles events (which could be up to 3,000
bowlers), various types of special doubles events, and just crazy fun events set up during league seasons
such as Witch & Wizard Doubles at Halloween, Sweetheart Doubles for Valentine's Day, and various
types of special sweeper events right in the middle of the league season have been described back to me.
Here are samples of some of the comments we have received.
And here's one from April 2010:
2010, found the software to be what he had requested be developed for tracking the performance of
tournament bowlers and commented, "It's pretty neat!" He and others had been told by another vendor
that software to handle such tasks would cost $399. BowlerTracker costs only $69.95 or just $40 if you
purchase any primary scoring product.
New customers tell us they have seen others using various RCP Software special events bowling data
management applications and were so impressed they called to order the software.
People continually comment about how easy it is to use RCP Software products. Many learn to use all
the products they purchase in one day.
All future database management software will require Excel 2007 or later. That is necessary in order to
power some of the more exotic applications planned. It is also necessary in order to accommodate some
of the huge capacities planned and several already in existence. Some government and business
applications may involve scaling up to millions of records. That can easily be accommodated with XML-
based software.
The first application of the New Generation bowling data management software (BowlerTracker, a utility
program for tracking tournament bowlers' performance) was completed in late March 2010. It is "hub"
software, an example of a component in a modular interlocking software system. BowlerTracker is
tracking software to allow tournament club managers, bowling centers, match club managers, bowling
associations, and others who manage large and sequential events to keep track of games bowled by
members or participants, and what their current average is over wide-ranging tournament-type events,
and how that compares to their entering averages. Several people asked for such software and now it is
available. As standalone software, it costs $69.95. Add sales tax if you're in California. If you purchase
any primary scoring product, you may have it for $40.
Future primary scoring applications will be like the spokes of a wheel with utility applications like
BowlerTracker being hubs. Quick transfers of data between such modular interlocking applications will be
facilitated by parallel construction and careful alignment so that massive amounts of scoring data can be
transferred from one processing application to another in seconds.

- "I love your software!"
- "You saved my butt." V.L.
- "Had the scoring done before they had their street shoes on."

input, figure out awards quickly and easy to understand. Thank you thank you thank you!" Jenny P.
