Module 03 of 06 Coming Q4 2026 · Bracket engine live in production

Every field. Every game.
Zero conflicts.

Schedule is the practice, game, and bracket engine of SidelineOS. Built around the field-allocation reality of running six divisions across two parks on a Saturday — with a tiebreaker engine that's already survived 2,600+ audit checks in production.

The Pain

Why scheduling breaks programs.

01 · FIELD CONFLICTS

Two teams. One field.

When 10U practice runs long and 8U is warming up next door, the program has a problem the parents will hear about. Schedule prevents it at allocation, not at the field.

02 · BRACKET DRAMA

"Why did THAT team get the 2 seed?"

If your tiebreaker logic isn't documented, you'll defend it Saturday night in a parking lot. Schedule's 8-tier system was built to survive that conversation.

03 · WEATHER CALLS

Rain at 6am. Game at 9.

The cancellation, the reschedule, the parent notifications, the field manager handoff — all of it has to happen before parents are in the car. Schedule handles the cascade.

Features

What Schedule does.

01 · Bracket Engine

Auto-generated brackets.
Defensible seeding.

Schedule's bracket engine runs the same 8-tier tiebreaker system that's already survived 2,600+ audit checks in production at NYF May Madness 2026. Wins → H2H group → H2H pairwise → Points Against → Differential → Points For. Documented. Audited. Defensible.

  • Single elim, double elim, round robin, and pool play formats
  • 8-tier tiebreaker engine — every rung documented
  • Public bracket page auto-published with division tabs
  • Live score sync from Score module → bracket advances automatically

02 · Field Allocation

Color-coded.
Conflict-aware.

Six fields across two parks, ten teams, three time slots per Saturday — without conflict. Schedule's allocator color-codes by game prep, game window, and game day. Conflicts surface at planning, not at the gate.

  • Multi-park, multi-field allocation in one view
  • Color-coded blocking: prep, game, breakdown
  • Buffer time between games is configurable per division
  • Conflict detection across modules — Comms gets notified automatically

03 · Practice Scheduling

Practices that don't
collide on Tuesday night.

A 12-team program at one park, three nights a week, with field-light and field-dark constraints. Schedule lays it out, blocks the right windows, and notifies coaches automatically — no Google Sheet required.

  • Recurring practice blocks per team with field constraints
  • Field-light and field-dark scheduling rules respected
  • Coach availability synced from their profile
  • Auto-cascade reschedule when weather forces a move

From the operator who built it

Built in the field.

Founder Note
SidelineOS isn't a thesis. It's a tool I needed. I run a 1,340-athlete program across six divisions. Every module on this page started as a workflow I had to solve before Saturday. The fact that other operators need the same thing is the business — but the design pressure came from the field, not a focus group.
