The Problem
AMERICAN FOOTBALL SCHEDULING
IS A NIGHTMARE.
Coordinating 11-player teams across grass / turf venues with 60 mins (clock) match windows creates endless spreadsheet chaos.
The Spreadsheet Trap
Every time a team changes availability, you have to rebuild the season. One conflict breaks 20 other matches.
Unfair Home/Away Splits
Manual scheduling always leaves some teams with harder travel or uneven home/away counts. The math is impossible to balance by hand.
Venue Conflicts
Shared grass / turf facilities are double-booked constantly. Resolving these manually takes weeks of back-and-forth.
