Checking-Out AMF Leagues, AMF Tournaments And Third Party
Interfaced Leagues, And Tournaments
As discussed previously, the check-in process differs between AMF
Leagues, AMF Tournaments, and Third-Party Interfaced Program Leagues
and Tournaments. However, the check-out process is the same for all of
these types of events. League and tournament bowlers pay elsewhere for
their games, and checking them out only involves turning off their lanes
and viewing their game counts. See the users’ manuals for both the League
Module and Third-Party Interface Programs for more information.
To check-out league and tournament bowlers:
1. Select the lane(s) to be checked out.
