Bowland - BowlandX Bowler Console User Manual

Introduction
This manual is divided in two sections, one that includes the description of the functions used by
bowlers during open play and league, and one that includes the functions needed for the setup
and for maintenance operations.

This manual provides the bowling center personnel with a complete reference guide to the
bowler console operations. This guide is intended for use by trained bowling center personnel,
and requires a working knowledge of QubicaAMF scoring system and an understanding of open
play and league bowling rules.

This guide can be used as a basis for introducing the bowlers to the functions of the scoring sys-
tem.

Many functions described in this guide can be enabled or disabled using the Conqueror Setup.
Some functions are available only as part of optional packages, that could not be available in your
bowling center.

to perform the desired operations.
