An Industry Innovation: The Website Maker
Automatic Evelyn is a well-established, easy-to-use, online bowling league secretarial
system that allows you to quickly input your league’s weekly scores, and in moments,
a website with real navigation links for your group is instantly delivered to the
web. “Web-lishing” (web publishing) has been a trademark of the versatile Automatic
Evelyn system since 1996, so whether you’re a newbie or a long-standing league officer,
when you partner with “Evelyn”, you can rest assured that you’ve got a reliable and
strong system backing your league.
More than just a One-page Standings Sheet
Automatic Evelyn prides itself on providing your league with a modern, intriguing,
and personalized web experience. With the advent of smartphones and mobile devices,
printed material is becoming less of a standard, and everything nowadays is going
‘web-based’. Therefore, it makes sense that your league’s web presence should be
based on something more than a one-page printed document.
Automatic Evelyn creates a multi-page website for your league that is broken out
into a logical arrangement of categories. This behind-the-scenes web innovation
allows for extra features, such as generating bowler charts and graphs, which are
just not possible with a typical one-page PDF layout. And a new and modern makeover
for your league not only renews interest for your existing members, but it can also
attract other bowlers to join your group, thus making your league grow.
Simple is Easy
Once your league decides to use Automatic Evelyn, your members will adjust real quick
to having a website. And getting the job done couldn’t be easier. A typical week
for updating your league involves simply logging into your account, selecting each
weekly match-up between teams, entering the scores for each player, and finally clicking
a button to “Process” everything, and that’s all. Evelyn does the rest, including
generating a specially-formatted printable hardcopy, and an updated website, all
in a matter of seconds–Automatically! Your league members then can visit a central
web link at ‘www.worldleagues.net’ (which is displayed at the top of your weekly
sheet) to select your league’s website. It’s as simple as that!

Portability
Since Automatic Evelyn is web-based, you can update your league at home or away,
or you can even bring your Wi-Fi enabled laptop or tablet PC to the lanes for optimum
promptness in updating at the conclusion of league play. This is advantageous in
more ways than one, in that you’re keying in the scores while they’re “hot off the
presses”, and mysteries like anonymous substitutes can be fielded immediately–and
you’ll be getting the job done and over with, in a matter of moments, leaving the
rest of your week free. And the most attractive feature of “Evelyn” is that your
league members will absolutely love the idea of being able to get on the Internet
later that night or the next day to peruse the updated website.
Easy to Use
All software has a learning curve. With Automatic Evelyn’s “Keep It Simple”, menu-driven,
uncomplicated approach, you’ll quickly become familiar with the system, and you can
have your league updated in no time. Evelyn’s step-by-step, initial League Setup
asks you questions to gather info about the rules for your league, and ‘help links’
are provided along the way, should anything be unclear to you about what “Evelyn”
wants to know. You’ll also have the luxury of available YouTube videos to guide
you through any parts of the system where you might need help.
Standard and Mobile-Ready Websites
Automatic Evelyn creates websites optimized for display on various screen resolutions.
And in keeping up with the smartphone explosion these days, “Evelyn” also creates
a separate mobile website version for those ‘on-the-go’ league members who want to
check their league status and statistics on their mobile devices.
‘Neat’ Features
Automatic Evelyn isn’t just about ‘convenience’. When checking league results, bowlers
want to see more than just an overall league summary. After a few weeks of use to
gather relevant data, the “Evelyn” system also generates some very unique stats,
charts, and graphs for each league member.
The Cost
To use Automatic Evelyn, there’s a flat fee of $35.00 for your league for a season,
which amounts to roughly $1.00 a week for winter leagues…you’d pay that much for
web space alone, if you published your league yourself to the Internet, not to mention
there’s a valuable savings in your time, as well. And with Automatic Evelyn, software
updates are done behind-the-scenes, invisibly to you, so you never have to worry
about purchasing or downloading upgrades.
Free Trial
There’s always a notion of uncertainty when you’re considering something new. You’re
invited to try Automatic Evelyn for a week. If you like it, you can pay the usage
fee prior to the start of Week 2 of your league, and then pick up right where you
left off after Week 1.
