Software designed for fishing contest
By KAREN MCINTOSH
Reporter
A Texas A&M student has re
cently developed a computer pro
gram to aid in the management of
fresh and salt water fishing tourna
ments.
Raymond Bartley, who graduated
with both Computer Science and
Recreation and Parks degrees in Au
gust, wrote the Fishing Tournament
Information and Retrieval System
while attending A&M.
“Ray deserves all the credit. He
initiated it and . carried it
through,” said Dr. Robert Ditton of
the Department of Recreation and
Parks, under whose guidance Bart
ley worked.
Funded by the Sea Grant College
Program, the software package will
be available within a month and will
cost approximately $175, Ditton
said.
He said that the program is de
signed to run on five different per
sonal computers.
The need for such a program
grew out of doubts about the
fairness of a manually-run system of
scoring.
“The participants questioned how
it (the tournament) was being run,”
Ditton said. “There were even prob
lems determining who the winners
were.”
The program would help keep
correct and updated records such as
the participant’s name, address, divi
sion of competition and points
earned from each fish caught, Mark
Nye, a computer science student,
said. Nye was in charge of demon
strating the program during several
tournaments this summer.
“There is a growing trend toward
more tournaments,” Ditton said.
“Most of the tournaments are only 3
years old.
“Another reason for the program
is to get them to operate and adver
tise the tournaments more efficient-
*y”
II marketed properly, the tourna
ments can benefit tourism in cities
such as Port Aransas ami Galveston,
he said.
Since the number of fisheries art
declining and the number of fishing
tournaments at e increasing, Ditton
said the software program would
help conserve and manage the fish
cries.
“The system provides means tt
record all the fisn that were ca
in an area," he said.
Ditton described the software*
menu-driven, so filling in the blank
is all that is necessary to fit the pm
gram to each tournament.
“It is generic software," Ditto
said. "The program is designed 1«
pe< aple who have only minimal expt
rience with computers.”
