Spring Cleaning

posted in Autoscoring |

As fall leagues have come to a close, it is a good time to take the opportunity to do some spring cleaning.

Your front desk typically will display a list of all the leagues available to send out to the lanes for that week.  Once the season is over, it is nice to remove the leagues so that only current leagues display.

While each scoring system may differ, the principle is generally the same.

  1. Check to see if you have a Delete League feature in your front desk software to remove the league from the list.  Don’t confuse this with your CDE product’s Delete League feature. 
  2. If not, try clearing out all the export files from the directory your CDE product is pointing to on the front desk / server and then re-exporting the leagues that are still currently bowling.

Another important thing to do is to insure you have made backups of your leagues / tournaments in the CDE products you use.  They should be saved onto removable media in case a hardware of operating system failure occurs.  Its always a good idea to periodically make a second major backup that can be stored off premise in case of theft, fire or other damage.
