TD - How to set starting times using Daily Planner

Once confirmed, we are going to select the “Generate Planner” option at the top of the page.

Click the Generate button to move the events into the Daily Planner.  The number of Verified and Events in Planner should be the same.  Not Verified should be zero.

 

 

Now that we have generated the events, we use our 3 line menu to access our Daily Planner

The first step we recommend is to view your current starting time by clicking the “Edit Start Times” button:

 

From here you will see all the events listed on your current day you are working on, the current listed starting time under the “Event Setting” section.  If you have a good projection of what you would like your starting times to be for specific events, go ahead and add these in now and save.   If you are unsure, I recommend you add the earliest starting time available for all events.

 

 

Once your times are entered, select “Save Changes” and then “View Daily Planner”.

 

 From this view, you will notice that on the left-hand side of the screen, all your courts are listed vertically.  Every match that is scheduled to be played will appear spread out on the available courts.  You will also notice under the times, a T: section and a W: section.  The T stands for total matches to be played, and the W stands for waiting matches that cannot go directly to court.

 

If you are unhappy with the number of waiting matches, revisit the “Edit Starting Times” tab and adjust your brackets starting times until you are satisfied with the way the schedule looks.   Repeat this process for all days of your tournament until you are satisfied with the schedule.

Once starting times are set, use the “List of Start Times” tab

The last step in the process is to email your players the starting times once you have reviewed and are sure the starting time are correct.
