skedworx — schedules that work for your league

Building a league schedule is a real job. Teams, fields, divisions, availability, rest, tournaments, requests and league rules all have to fit together.

skedworx handles the tedious part. No lost evenings wrestling with spreadsheets, and no scheduling system to configure before you can start. Tell it what matters to your league, then review, refine and publish what comes back.

You make the decisions. skedworx does the legwork.

You know the spreadsheet

Scheduling a league shouldn't require a spreadsheet PhD.

A season looks simple until the real world turns up. Teams have availability. Fields disappear. Tournament weekends appear. Players end up on multiple teams. One change sends you back through three more weeks of the schedule.

There's nothing wrong with the spreadsheet. It's just the wrong tool for a problem with this many moving parts, where every combination gets checked by hand, every time.

The spreadsheet works fine, right up until it doesn't.

  • TeamsAvailability matters. Half your teams have a night that never works.
  • FieldsYou only have so many slots, and everyone wants the good ones.
  • RestThree games in four days, then eleven days off, is how you lose players.
  • ExceptionsBlackouts, tournaments and vacations happen. Every season.

Why skedworx exists

skedworx started with a real league problem.

We run a recreational slo-pitch league where the teams aren't just names on a spreadsheet. We know these people, and everyone's schedule is different.

Some teams have shift workers. Some travel to tournaments. Some have players who play on multiple teams. Everyone has work, family, vacations and everything else life throws at them.

We could simply build a schedule and ask everyone to work around it.

But we thought we could do better.

We wanted to build the schedule around the people playing in it. That's where skedworx came from.

The idea

Accommodating teams up front saves headaches later.

A team that can't play Tuesday isn't necessarily a big problem, until you find out after the schedule is published.

Found out afterwards

  1. Team can't play Tuesday
  2. Game needs to move
  3. Other team can't play the replacement day
  4. Field needs to change
  5. Another team gets affected
  6. Reschedule
  7. Forfeit risk

A schedule built with those constraints in mind

The goal is to catch scheduling conflicts before they become forfeits, reschedules or last-minute headaches.

Schedule for the people, not just the fields.

skedworx brings team availability, tournament dates, fields, game times, rest requirements and league rules together before the schedule is built. The result is a schedule that works for the people who have to live with it.

How it fits together

Every league has moving parts.

Teams. Fields. Times. Rules. Availability. Requests. They all compete for the same limited space, and skedworx brings them together before the first pitch.

Teams covers teams, divisions, ranks, requests and constraints; rules covers games per team, doubleheaders, rest and spacing, blackout dates and cross-division play; fields covers diamonds, locations, availability, time slots and blackouts; schedule covers balanced workloads, respecting all rules, minimizing conflicts, fairness and being ready to publish. Caption: everything connects at home plate. Teams, fields, times and rules — skedworx brings them together.

Give skedworx the moving parts. It figures out how they fit together.

And because every league is different

Your league has its own rules.
skedworx understands that.

Some scheduling tools are simple enough to set up in a minute and never handle a real league. Others handle anything you throw at them, once you've spent two weeks configuring them. Neither is much use on a Tuesday night in March.

skedworx is a scheduling engine you configure. You don't have to live with someone else's template, and you don't have to set it up for days before it does anything useful.

The problem is complicated. Your job shouldn't be.

  • Each division gets its own format, game count and rules
  • Availability and blackout dates are respected before anything gets placed
  • Doubleheaders stay spread across the season instead of bunching up in April
  • Minimum and preferred rest, plus a cap on the longest layoff
  • Choose which divisions meet, and how often
Start configuring
Games per team 14
Divisions A · B · C
Doubleheader days 6 of 7
Games per week max 4
Longest layoff 14 days
Even weeks vs more games Balanced
Cross-division play B ↔ C only
Sunday preference Prefer Sundays

The part nobody else shows you

Change a rule. See what it costs.

In a tight season, every constraint you add takes something somewhere else. Ask for more rest and you may fit fewer games. Protect one team's Tuesdays and another team picks up the slack. skedworx runs your season many times over, keeps the best result against the priorities you set, and shows you the trade-off instead of hiding it. The call is yours, with the numbers in front of you.

How it works

Three steps, not three weekends.

1

Configure your league

Divisions, teams, fields, game slots, season dates and the rules you care about. Save it as a preset and reuse it next season.

2

Let skedworx build it

It works through your constraints, tries many arrangements, and keeps the one that fits your league best.

3

Review, adjust & publish

Check the summary, per-week grid and matchup matrix. Tweak a setting, re-run, then export to Excel or CSV.

Who it's for

Made for the person who builds the schedule.

You know your league, your rules and your constraints. None of that is the hard part. The hard part is the hours it takes to work through every combination by hand. That's the part skedworx takes over.

Recreational leagues

Schedulers fitting a season around everyone else's availability.

Sports associations

Several divisions or leagues that each work a little differently.

Tournament organizers

Brackets and pools that still have to fit real field time.

League coordinators

Anyone who owns the schedule and would like their evenings back.

Any sport

One scheduling platform. Any sport.

skedworx schedules around teams, venues, times and rules, not around a particular game. If your season fits that shape, it fits skedworx.

Built from a real recreational league. skedworx was built around the scheduling problems we actually face in slo-pitch, then made configurable so other leagues and sports could use the same ideas.

You have a league to run.
Not a spreadsheet to babysit.

Spend less time building and fixing the schedule. More time running the league.
