Sample Count | Determining Start and End weights - sdfsdfasdf

  • Pointer:  It is important when a game is pulled, if the TabWizard displays the pulled game is over or short by more than $20.00 that a Sample Count is performed to verify that the remaining number of tickets vs Tickets Sold is correct.

In Summary:

  • Starting Weight - End/Current Weight = Weight Remaining

  • Starting Weight - Weight Remaining = Weight Sold 

START WEIGHT CALCULATION | Based on calculations from a Sample Count

Sample Count = 100 Tickets

Part I - Determine Sample Weight & Piece Weight

  1. Confirm the Scale display reads 0.000lbs

  2. Count out 100 tickets and place the tickets on the scale.

  3. This weight defines the Sample Weight 

  4. Divide the (Sample Weight by 100) to define the average Piece Weight  for a single ticket

Part II - Determine Total Starting Net Weight (tickets only when game first went into play)

  1. Locate the number of starting tickets on the game bag or flare. Starting Ticket Count 

  2. Multiply Piece Weight by Starting Ticket Count to get the Net Start Weight  

Part III - Determine Total Gross Start Weight (tickets and bowl together)

  1. Confirm the Scale display reads 0.000lbs

  2. Place an empty bowl on the scale.  The weight displayed defines the Tare Weight

  3. Now, add the Tare Weight plus Net Start Weight to get the game Gross Start Weight

  4. Confirm the Gross Start Weight matches what is in Tab Wizard.
