Using nicknames

Question asked by Denise M Perry - 9/17/2018 at 3:56 PM

Answered

How do you make the nickname show up on the screen at the bowling center instead of the first name. And how do you keep it from putting up a middle initial? Our bowlers want to see their names a certain way and I don't want to put incorrect info into BLS that doesn't match their USBC info.

BLS has an Export option found in the Options tab of the Export screen called "Send Nicknames to the lanes". When checked.... it will send nicknames instead of first names for bowlers with a nickname.

Thanks! I tried looking for nicknames in the manual and help sections.

Is the export screen only in the professional BLS version? I can't find it.

The export screen in only on the AutoScoring versions. That is where the file is exported to the scoring monitors.
