Bring facility availability, academic calendars, shared venues, and sport-specific rules into the conversation from the beginning.

A few things you might be wondering.
Can we work with you on just one sport?
Yes. The conversation can start with a single sport or cover a broader conference calendar. We define the scope around your needs.
What if our requirements conflict?
We start by distinguishing firm requirements from preferences. When every preference cannot be met, we discuss the alternatives and tradeoffs so your conference can make an informed decision.
Can you account for conference membership changes?
Membership changes are an important input to the scheduling process. We discuss your new alignment, competition format, travel implications, and transition priorities before developing options.
What should we prepare before discussing a project?
A member list, the sports and seasons involved, your competition format, available dates, and any known restrictions are a helpful start. The brief builder above can help organize the conversation.
