A large part of the problem in trying to come up with "Trap League Software" is that there are probably as many variations in how a league keeps it records as there are trap leagues. There may be even more variations since some leagues change what they want the records to show.
How are teams set up? Five person teams? All shooters from one club on the same team (in a multi-club league), are handicaps (not the yardages but scores)involved, how many shoots, what classes or categories are used, how are shooters who miss a shoot accounted for, how many targets in a match, are handicap yardages involved and probably two or three dozen more variations all enter into the needs of the software. All those variations make each league's software needs different and probably unique to itself in some way or another.
I have written Excel sheets for two different leagues and put most of a third league's desires into Excel packages. The third one mentioned was then scrapped after three weeks or so of development when the person wanting it failed to return answers to some questions and when pressed, then finally told me they went a different way.
So why is there no software available? Put down the particulars of YOUR league and then people who have written something for THEIR league may find that the needs of YOUR league can be accommodated by slight modifications of THEIR league's software. All of this is predicated on using software that is either open source, public domain or copyright released. If there is a copyright involved, that is another entirely different issue.
Now what are YOU looking for from the software YOU want?
