How do I enter my scores?
You enter your scores by first adding a user. The add user wizard will take you through the steps. Just enter the information you wish. Adding all information will come in handy to use all features of the program. For instance, the "Drive Me" Section takes the users address and the bowling center selected, connects to the web and gets directions to that center for you. Once you are finished with the add user wizard, the name you just entered will appear and you can double click that to get to another selection.. You select whether you wish to enter scores for a Tournament, League, or practice. Once you do that click on the create button on the menu bar to the left. Once you double click the new entry just double click the item you just created and then click on Input Scores.

How did you come up with the name Catbowl?
When I first thought of developing a program for bowling back in 1992 Disk Catalogs of your diskettes was popular. So I related it to bowling, and came up with Catbowl. Catalog your bowling scores. In 1992 My brother and I developed the DOS Version of Catbowl which is still downloadable from AOL. This version however offers many more features and is completely finished.

I am consistently adding data to my database and when I have enough data to warrant uploading it I will put it on the site.
