RCP Software
Bowling Software
Version 2.0 MEGA of RCP DivvyItUp! software for calculating payouts
instantly is the version that has been available for several years and runs on
Excel 2002 or later. Don't worry about it being a .0 version because none of
RCP Software's 1.0 versions of anything have ever had a single bug (code
execution error problem) in them. Later versions, such as the 2010 version
described below, will simply have more features or slight variations on
present features.
If you do not have Excel 2007 or later, this 2.0 Mega
version is the version you
must use.

The initial 1.0 version of this software was created quickly in May 2008
because of several conversations I had in early May 2008 with league
secretaries inquiring about
SweeperScore and wondering if there was any
way to calculate payouts quickly. They wanted in particular to be able to
gracefully handle situations where bowlers walked up at the last minute,
offered their entry money, and wanted to get into an event that was just about
to start. League secretaries and tournament directors didn't want to
recalculate prize fund amounts continuously at the last minute in such
situations and commonly told people they were out of luck. But they would
like to have been able to let the people in. So I sat down at my computer and
created RCP DivvyItUp!

Now you can forget about having to spend hours with a committee trying to
figure out how to divide a $673 prize fund among 20 people you want to have
in the money, or figuring out a payout list for a $7600 prize fund to be
distributed among those placing from 1st to 50th. RCP DivvyItUp! will
calculate the payouts instantly. Just enter the total prize fund for the event in
the insertion window and press any cursor arrow. Look to the right and pick
the distribution you like.

The initial version was well received and requests came for an expanded
version. Most people still didn't have Excel 2007 so the second version was
created to also run on top of Excel 2002 or later.

Version 2.0 MEGA of RCP DivvyItUp!, which was written to run on Excel
2002 or 2003, will calculate payouts for 5, 10, 12, 15, 20, 25, 30, 40, 45, 50,
80, and 150 places. It may also be run in Compatibility Mode in Excel 2007
although if you have Excel 2007, look farther down this page to learn about
the newer 2010 version
which is the same price but has far more advanced
features. The 2.0 MEGA version is suitable for calculating payouts for prize
funds ranging from very small amounts up to tens of thousands of dollars.
Some of these payout distributions have several different sub-distributions
for top-weighted payouts, mid-type payouts, and more evenly distributed
payouts. You just pick the one that floats your boat. If you have a suggestion
for a slightly different distribution,
contact us. However, new distributions and
other features will only be added to the 2010 and later versions.

We are always open to suggestions and our aim is to make the lives of
league secretaries, tournament directors, bowling association officials, and
all bowlers as easy as possible. This software has been modified several
times now to meet special needs of secretaries and tournament directors
who have called me with special requests.

In contrast to other available bowling software that often costs a mint and
doesn't even work well (I have heard some real horror stories), RCP
DivvyItUp! works smoothly. The price is $39.95. If you live in California, you
get the privilege of paying sales tax which is currently $3.30. However, if you
are a recent or current purchaser of
SweeperScore or SuperSingles, you
may have this additional utility software for $20. It can save you hours of time.
To order, send your check payable to Richard Power to the
address listed
here. If you provide your e-mail address, the software can be sent to you
instantly upon receipt of your check, instead of on disk. Upon request, the
e-mail delivery can also include a handy HandiCalc handicap calculator/table.

This is flawless, standard format software designed for bowlers, tournament
directors, bowling association officials, and league secretaries to make their
lives easier, and written by a bowler with three perfect games, not some
buggy proprietary format software to make some non-bowling geek rich!

RCP DivvyItUp! 2.0 MEGA requires
Microsoft Excel, version 2002 or later.

RCP DivvyItUp! will work well in conjunction with RCP
SuperSingles and
RCP
SweeperScore which already exist, as well as with other bowling event
scoring software that is currently being considered.

And now for the new era of 2010 supersoftware versions of standard,
time-tested
RCP Software applications. As of this writing, 5/25/10, a newer
version to be called DivvyItUp! 2010 is undergoing beta testing.
It requires
Excel 2007 or later
. As of this writing it can handle payouts to 5, 10, 12, 15,
20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45, 50, 55, 60, 65, 70, 80, and 150 winners at a minimum.
The price will be the same as for the earlier versions designed for Excel 2002
& 2003. When fully written, it is intended to handle tournaments ranging from
very small up to those with thousands of entrants and with prize funds
running into six figures. A usable beta version is available right now. If you
purchase it, and the 2010 version is further expanded after your purchase,
just check back with us and we will supply you with the latest version at no
additional charge. Remember that you
must have Excel 2007 or later to run
this very advanced software.

If you are running a huge tournament such as a state or regional
tournament, and need payout calculation software in a hurry, and
payouts of 80 or 150 places isn't enough or you have some special
need and the available payouts don't seem to fill your need, and you
don't want to be gouged by vendors selling current software at
sky-high prices,
contact us right away and describe your needs. Special
software can often be created in a matter of days. There may be an
alpha or beta version in the works that can provide what you need. Tell
us what other vendors want to extract from your pocketbook and we
will beat their price and create the desired software if at all possible. A
SuperMega version of RCP DivvyItUp! can be created to order.
