Pack Venues

When you assign venues by home team and you have several divisions sharing several venue assignments, venues are normally assigned as follows:

1. When the first division is scheduled the software goes to the first assignment and assigns slots from earliest to latest. If all slots are assigned then the software goes to the next venue assignment.
2. When the second division is scheduled the software goes to the first unused venue assignment and assigns slots from earliest to latest. If there are no unused venue assignments then the software starts back to the first assignment and picks up the earliest available time slots.

Example: You have the following assignments (all on the same day):

VenueAge RangeTime Slot
V1U-12 to U-149 AM to 6 PM
V2U-12 to U-149 AM to 6 PM
V3U-12 to U-149 AM to 6 PM


You have two U-12 divisions and two U-14 divisions, each division has 6 teams, each requiring 3 slots each day, and the time between game starts is 90 minutes. The divisions are scheduled in this order: U-12 #1, U-12 #2, U-14 #1, U-14 #2.

The slots are filled as follows:

Start TimeV1V2V3
9:00 AM U-12 #1 U-12 #2 U-14 #1
10:30 AM U-12 #1 U-12 #2 U-14 #1
12:00 PM U-12 #1 U-12 #2 U-14 #1
1:30 PM U-14 #2    
3:00 PM U-14 #2    
4:30 PM U-14 #2    


There is a Pack Venues option on the Competitions page for use by the Traveling League Scheduler. If this option is turned on, the scheduler fills all slots for the first venue assignment first, then moves on to the second venue assignment, etc. This allows a league to minimize the number of venues used, reducing set up and take down, and potentially reducing travel for officials, making it possible to officiate more games.

For the situation above the slots would be filled as follows:

Start TimeV1V2V3
9:00 AM U-12 #1 U-14 #1  
10:30 AM U-12 #1 U-14 #1  
12:00 PM U-12 #1 U-14 #1  
1:30 PM U-12 #2 U-14 #4  
3:00 PM U-12 #2 U-14 #4  
4:30 PM U-12 #2 U-14 #4
