Wager Validation Instructions

To begin, select the total number of points for the wagers Next, you can choose a strategy - prime numbers, Fibonacci numbers, prime numbers or Fibonacci numbers, or none. The strategy will be used to validate the individual wagers. For example, if the prime number strategy is chosen, each entry will be checked to see if it is a prime number in the correct range. If "none" is chosen for the strategy, then the entries are checked only to make sure that each one falls within the allowed range of points.

The next step is to enter the team or individual names and the wagers in the appropriate boxes. If the check box in front of the name is not checked the team will be skipped by the validation process and the wager will be set to zero. The Sum text box will keep a running total of the entered wagers and the Number of teams text box will keep a running total of the number of active teams - the active teams are the ones that are checked.

When each wager is entered, it will be validated. Changing strategy or the number of teams to be validated will cause all of the entries to be revalidated. Changing a team from active to inactive will also cause the form to be validated.

Finally click on the validate button - all of the validated wagers and team names will be written to a new window, which can be printed.
