The Problem
RUGBY UNION SCHEDULING
IS A NIGHTMARE.
Coordinating 15-player teams across grass / turf venues with 80 mins 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.
The Solution
BUILT FOR RUGBY UNION
PEAK PERFORMANCE.
Zero Conflicts
Mixed-Integer Linear Programming proves that no venue is double-booked and every rugby union constraint is perfectly satisfied way faster than manual scheduling.
Provable Fairness
Guarantee equal home/away distribution and balanced rest periods for all teams. No more complaints from club managers.
Seamless Ops
Centralize rugby union constraint management, team coordination, and schedule export (PDF/Excel) into a single architectural command center.
