Build a usable matchday schedule without creating avoidable clashes

Set up your pitches, timings, and fixture flow so the schedule works in practice rather than only on paper.

What you will do

A workable schedule depends on realistic pitch capacity, match timings, and changeover gaps.

Before you start

  • Add the right pitch sizes before you rely on autoscheduling.
  • Use realistic match duration and turnaround settings.
  • Treat unscheduled fixtures and issue warnings as matchday blockers.

Where to go

Pitch settings

Check pitch names, sizes, and availability before fixtures are placed.

Scheduling board

Use this to place games, review conflicts, and leave overflow fixtures unscheduled if needed.

How to do it

  1. 1
    Confirm the matchday start and finish times are realistic.
  2. 2
    Check that every required pitch size exists and is available for long enough.
  3. 3
    Run autoscheduler only after timings and pitches are correct.
  4. 4
    Resolve issues and leave overflow fixtures unscheduled rather than forcing overlaps.

Check you are ready

  • No fixtures are overlapping.
  • Every pitch size has enough time available.
  • The issues panel is clear or only shows accepted warnings.

If something looks wrong

If something looks wrong

If the board says there is not enough capacity, treat that as a setup problem to fix, not something to ignore.
