Divide your season into manageable segments, such as weekly or bi-weekly game blocks, to ensure a balanced schedule and avoid overwhelming your team.

2. Deciding Game Frequency and Availability:

Assess the availability of your team members and consider any scheduling constraints. Make sure to take into account any upcoming events that players may be unavailable for. This includes holidays or other popular tournaments in the area that players may be absent for.

3. Organizing Your Slo-Pitch Schedule:

In Slo-Pitch Central, you can manually input game details or upload a CSV file of your schedule to get started. Scheduling is as easy as inputting dates, times, locations, and team names.

Manual Schedule Creation

Take into account field availability, travel distances, and potential weather conditions when creating your schedule. Spread out the games evenly throughout the season, allowing for adequate rest periods. Avoid consecutive games with challenging opponents so that teams face a variety of opponents at different skill levels.

When you create your schedule manually, simply input the dates, times and locations of your games in Slo-Pitch Central. Assign games to teams, and be sure to provide all of your teams with access to their new Slo-Pitch Central schedule!

When your schedule is finished, you will be able to preview it in the clear and concise format above. It will be easily searchable, and teams will also be able to filter to view only their games!

Uploading a CSV Schedule

To streamline the schedule creation process, you can upload an existing copy of your schedules right to Slo-Pitch Central. Format your schedule in Microsoft Excel or Google Sheets and download it as a CSV (Comma-Separated Values) to upload on Slo-Pitch Central.

Organize your game details in the columns above (e.g., Date, Time, Location, Division), download the file as a CSV, and upload it to Slo-Pitch Central for automatic scheduling.

When you upload a schedule this way, Slo-Pitch Central will allow you to double check the data before finalizing to ensure accuracy.
