Introduction to GTM
Welcome
Welcome to SportsWare's Golf Tournament Management (GTM) Program. This program is the successor to our widely acclaimed Golf Tournament Pairings (GTP) and Golf Tournament Scoring (GTS) Programs -- it combines the features of these two DOS-based programs into a single Windows-based program. Virtually all the GTP/GTS features remain, but you will find GTM much easier and convenient to use in the native Windows environment. Pairings and Scoring capabilities are integrated into a single program; simple mouse clicks replace tedious responses to text prompts and the use of specialized keys; information entry is less cumbersome; printer dependencies and difficulties are resolved; etc. -- all of which means that you can complete your tournament work more easily, with better flexibility, and more quickly.
This Help System is another significant advantage of GTM. Assistance in use of the program is now available "inline" as you work instead of having to consult a printed manual. (A printed User Guide is available but its content is limited primarily to installation instructions, a brief overview of program operation, and definitions of the program's various Scoring Categories/Formats and handicap methods.) Most all of the Help Topics include illustrations of the display screens you will see in your use of the program.
The remainder of this section of Help provides links to information about all of the major features of the program, organized by the sequence and content of selections from the main Program Menu. Help is also available from The "Help" item on the main Program Menu and from most of the program's individual screens. In the latter case, all you need to do is press the F1 Function Key on your keyboard when a screen is visible. Once you are into the Help material by any means, Contents and Index tabs are available for access to other Help topics.
