Custom sports schedules, made simple
Conference scheduling gets complicated fast. I work directly with Division III conference offices to turn competing constraints and member priorities into schedules that work.
Experience
Work has ranged from individual sports to multi-year, multi-sport scheduling projects
Built around the constraints that matter to your conference
Home / Away Balance
Full-season and key-window balance
Travel Constraints
Travel groups and partner trips
Special Dates
Homecomings, blackouts, and required dates
Byes
Placement and distribution
Multi-Sport Conflicts
Linked dates across sports
Member Preferences
Team-specific requirements
How it works
A simple process for complicated schedules
Overview
Start with the basics: teams, dates, format, existing commitments, and anything you already know matters
Plan
We talk through what matters most and agree on the approach before I start building
Build
I build the schedule and check it against the constraints we agreed on
Refine
We work through feedback and adjustments until the schedule is ready

The challenge
A conference needed four future basketball schedules built around travel-partner weekends, completing the round robin before repeat matchups, limiting consecutive road weekends, and balancing home / away burdens across seasons.
The result
I modeled the constraints across all four seasons and built a set that preserved the travel structure while balancing the more difficult home / away stretches between travel partners. The conference accepted the schedules without changes.
Have a schedule coming up?
Send me the sport and season, and I’ll follow up by email. You don’t need to have the format or constraints figured out yet—I’m happy to talk through it with you.
