Bowling Software
Welcome to the home of easy to use and inexpensive bowling software by
RCP Software for scoring bowling sweepers, tournaments, and special events.
This software was created by a regular league bowler (3 perfect games) for
other bowlers, not by some computer geeks who are unfamiliar with the
bowling world and just want to make a buck off league secretaries by selling
them buggy, expensive, hard to use software.
Our first commercial product was RCP SweeperScore, a handy application
for quickly scoring simple or complicated bowling league sweepers, league or
small house tournaments, and pot games. This easy to use bowling software
runs on an average Windows-based laptop computer and makes life much
easier for league secretaries who want to have a sweeper at the end of the
league, possibly include interesting events like complex mixed doubles (every
man paired with every woman and every woman paired with every man) along
with standard events such as team events, and still get the sweeper scored
quickly and accurately. RCP SweeperScore requires Microsoft Excel, version
2002 or later. The instructions are written in Microsoft Word. The current
version as of Spring 2008 is v3.7. There are several sizes/variations within that
main version to handle different situations.
To get some idea of what events you can score with our software, look at
Bowling Events & Appropriate Software.
In the future we will strive to create more innovative bowling software
applications to make life easier for league secretaries and others who want to
quickly score simple or complicated sweepers, tournaments, and special
events and for bowlers who just don't want to wait around a long time while
that complex sweeper, tournament, or large singles event is being scored on
paper, or with old, cranky DOS-based software that looks like it belongs in the
Smithsonian, or with proprietary format software that is unreliable. Software we
provide will score these events in seconds, even when they have thousands of
entrants.
RCP Software is now the leader, and will continue to be, for supplying
software to score bowling sweepers and other bowling events.
All bowling software created by RCP Software will be inexpensive as well
as easy to use. We heard complaints about bowling software for scoring
league sweepers not being available at all or not being available in an
integrated form that will allow the same three games bowled in the sweeper to
be scored multiple ways (such as men's doubles, women's doubles, men's
singles, women's singles, teams, mixed doubles, hi-low doubles, generic
doubles, etc.) in one software application. People have told us they searched
the Internet in vain and could only find expensive software that didn't even
cover all the events they wanted to run. They would have to buy several
different programs and pay a king's ransom for each one in order to handle all
the events they had in mind. And then they would have to enter the data more
than once. So they just gave up and continued doing it on paper, often taking
hours to score their sweepers while annoyed bowlers waited for the results.
And during 2008 I heard several stories about league secretaries trying to
score events with old DOS-based software or proprietary format software that
froze up, leaving them unable to retrieve the data they had entered or to do
anything with it. And then some of them saw another league secretary running
SweeperScore which calculated results in seconds, displaying the results in an
easy to read format. Then they called RCP Software. Two of the best "Are you
kidding me?" stories came out of Las Vegas where SweeperScore was used to
instantly score some huge sweepers with other envious league secretaries
watching.
Software for scoring even simple events like a singles tournament is often
priced at $150 or more by previously existing software companies according to
other bowlers who have checked around and searched the Internet, and based
on our own searches as well. And that outrageous price is for scoring only
1500 bowlers bowling only 12 games! That is just plain ridiculous. Large
singles tournaments can have thousands of bowlers. And for a special event
you might want to bowl more than 12 games. How about 21 or 30 or 40 games
in some qualifying event? I have heard people were quoted prices like $500 for
such software. Special software for scoring a large singles tournament or
qualifier rounds that can involve many games is now available from RCP
Software and at a far lower price. Look at RCP Software's SuperSingles which
is new as of May 2007. SuperSingles will handle 3,000 bowlers bowling up to
40 games (i.e. 120,000 scores) for $79.95. Large SuperSingles Mega software
is available by special order but we won't pick your pockets clean, unlike the
software design predators out there.
All bowling software created by RCP Software will be in standard, widely
available, and easily usable formats unlike the bowling software previously
available which is commonly in highly proprietary formats. One consequence
of using Excel that recent purchasers discovered is that the software was very
easy to learn. One 2007 customer bought SweeperScore on a Thursday and
used it successfully that Saturday to score a singles event. Some applications
will even have embedded self-teaching tutorials.
During 2008 there have been several inquiries about software to calculate
payoff distributions. New as of May 15, 2008! The beta test period is
completed. A fully tested full-featured version of the new payout calculation
software (RCP DivvyItUp!) is now available by e-mail to any current or recent
purchasers of SweeperScore Pro v3.7 for an additional $20. It can instantly
provide a wide variety of payout lists for prize funds ranging from small
amounts up to tens of thousands of dollars. Later, this payout calculation
software and some other features (some still under design consideration) will
be integrated into the 2008 and later versions of SweeperScore Pro. The 2008
version of SweeperScore will be ready no later than August 2008, and is
expected to sell for no more than $129.95, depending on which features are
added.
RCP DivvyItUp! is also available as a standalone application for $39.95.
The 2008 or later versions of SweeperScore Pro will also have some
greatly expanded capabilities to handle really large leagues or events with
really large round-robin mixed doubles events. Other features may also be
added. The 2008 version of this mega-capability software will be available no
later than August 2008, after all beta testing of new components and user
ideas incorporation is complete.
If you have a request for software you don't already see at this Web site or
which hasn't been mentioned as being under construction, call Richard at
(530) 306-6370 (cell) or (530) 677-7698 (hands-free speakerphone line so I
can take notes easily) and tell us what you want.
