How It Works

The key challenge with 14 teams on 5 fields is game density. With 91 total games, each field averages 18 games. The solver distributes games evenly, assigns start times, and checks for conflicts in one pass.

Step-by-Step Guide

1

Calculate game density first

With 14 teams and 5 fields, you have 91 total games. Each field handles roughly 18 games — that density target drives your time window requirements.

2

Define field availability

Enter each field's available days and hours. If fields have different schedules or blackout dates, configure them individually. The solver treats each as a separate resource.

3

Run the constraint solver

The AI distributes all 91 games across your 5 fields, assigning start times and ensuring no field is double-booked. If your time windows are too tight, it tells you exactly what to adjust.

4

Review and publish

Preview the full schedule before finalizing. Swap individual games if needed, then share a live link or download a printable PDF for scorekeepers.

How long does it take to build a schedule?

Under 2 minutes with the generator. Enter your teams, add any constraints, and click generate. Most schedules complete in under 10 seconds.

Do I need to create an account?

No account required to build and preview. Create a free account to save, unlock, and export your schedule.

Can I change the schedule after generating?

Yes. Regenerate with different constraints, swap team names, or manually override individual game assignments.

What file formats can I export?

PDF (printable), CSV (spreadsheet), iCalendar (.ics for calendar apps), and a shareable web link for participants.

What's the minimum number of days needed for 14 teams?

That depends on your field count and game length. With 5 fields and 1-hour games, 14 teams need approximately 4 days of play.
