The Experience Setting is used to control the bowling experience.   Each facility creates their own experience settings in the Sync Office application, on the Lanes menu, using the Experience Settings menu item.  In this example, “League Settings” is the default for this league, because “League Settings” was the experience setting that was linked to this league’s product on the Sales page of the Sync Office application.  Click here to see a list of available Experience Settings, and the following will be displayed:

Select the desired experience setting from the list, if the current experience setting is inappropriate.

Lineups Button

This will go back to the previous page/step in the Lite League Issue process.

Cancel Button

This will cancel the entire Lite League issue process.

Welcome Button

This will complete the Lite League issue process by turning on the Sync scorers as configured in the previous steps.  The pinsetters will not turn on at this point.  Using this option would separate turning on the scoring and the pinsetters into two steps.  This would require the user to select the desired lanes, the more menu and the Start Warmup button to begin the timed warmup.  This option allows the scorers to be turned on early, allowing the league members time to adjust their lineups, prior to warmup.

Warm Up Button

This will complete the Lite League issue process by turning on the Sync scorers as configured in the previous steps AND turn on the pinsetters, beginning the timed warmup.  At the end of the timed warmup period, a message will be displayed on the overhead monitors indicating that practice is over.  This message will be displayed for 30 seconds.  During this time, the pinsetter’s pin deck light will turn off if GS-Series or StringPin Pinsetters are in use.  At the end of the 30 seconds, the pinsetters will reactivate and the scorers will be ready for competition play.

Play Button

This will complete the Lite League issue by turning on the Sync scorers as configured in the previous steps and turn on the pinsetters, WITHOUT warmup.  This button immediately begins competition play.

If Welcome, Warmup or Play is selected, the process lanes will be issued, and the League Payments process will automatically begin.  Refer to the League Payments button section of this guide for the information regarding the payments process.
