for instructions on how to check in tournaments.
Checking In Tournaments Through Interfaced
Programs
Some centers handle Tournament check-in with software that is separate
from—but interfaced with—Front Desk. Checking in these types of
tournament bowlers requires that you have already set up the tournament
and its bowlers in the Interfaced Programs module of BOSS. See that
manual for more details.
To check in a tournament through third party interfaced programs:
1. On the Main screen, select a lane range. The selected lanes are
highlighted.
Note: Keep in mind that the first lane in the range must be an odd number,
and you must select in pairs (2, 4, etc.).
In addition, you do not need to turn on all lanes at the same time. In other
words, you can start a ten-team tournament one pair at a time.
2. Press League/Tourn Check-In. The Non Open Check-In screen
appears.
3. Press Interfaced Programs. The Non Open Check-In screen for
interfaced programs appears.
Note: Press (set as default) to make this Interfaced Programs screen
always appear first when you access League/Tourn Check-In from the
Main screen.
4. In the Interfaced Programs ID box, do one of the following:
• Type the ID number, and press
. Information pertaining to the
tournament appears in the middle of your screen.
OR
• Choose the ID number from the drop down list.
5. From the Play Mode drop down list, select the desired mode.
Before the bowlers arrive, you should select Hold, placing the lanes
on hold. After the tournament bowlers arrive, you should then access
this check-in screen again, (selecting the lanes, and pressing
League/Tourn Check-In, then Interfaced Programs), then select
