Rather a specialized utility, which should be a real boon! It allows you to document the structure of a whole sports league simply and effectively: naming the teams, drawing up the fixture list for you, saving the results as they come in, and updating the league table.

Menu-driven, all complications, like teams sharing the same pitch and cancellations can be taken into account. The whole thing can be saved to tape or microdrive, and a revised version produced after each week's scores have been added.

Various analyses can be called: fixtures unplayed, each team's results, or total results to date. The program is written in Basic, so it may take time with a large league. The error-trapping is excellent, and the only thing the documentation doesn't tell you is that a printer is essential.

A full size printer can be used because RAMTOP will prevent the Basic from overwriting its software. This will limit the size of the league which can be handled.

I was most impressed. A real use for the Spectrum, which takes the pain out of a real chore.
