Scheduling

Manage fields, build game schedules and brackets, and handle pre-game and game-day management.

TourneySpace gives organizers everything needed to build and manage a tournament schedule: fields, games, pre-game logistics, live scores, and a combined view of the whole event.

Managing Fields

Before adding games, set up the fields/locations where they'll be played.

  1. 1

    Go to Manage Fields

    Found in your event's schedule section.

  2. 2

    Add a field

    Enter a name, address/location, a Google Maps link, and any notes (e.g., parking or access instructions).

  3. 3

    Reuse fields from past events

    If you've run other events, TourneySpace will suggest fields you've used before so you can import them instead of re-entering the details.

  4. 4

    Edit or delete fields at any time

    Changes apply instantly to your field list.

Adding Games to a Division's Schedule

Each division has its own game schedule.

  1. 1

    Open a division's schedule

    Add a game with a game number, date, time, and field.

  2. 2

    Assign the two teams playing

    Pick a registered team directly, or set a placeholder like "Winner of Game 3" or "Loser of Game 5" for games that depend on earlier results — useful for playoff-style rounds.

  3. 3

    Add optional notes

    For any special instructions on that game.

  4. 4

    Edit or delete any game later

    Game numbers must be unique within an event.

  5. 5

    Scores update dependent games automatically

    When you enter a final score, any other games referencing its "winner" or "loser" automatically update with the correct team name — no manual re-entry needed.

Adding a Bracket to a Division's Schedule

Brackets aren't built inside TourneySpace directly — instead, you link to a bracket you've created in Google Sheets, and it displays embedded on your public schedule page.

  1. 1

    Create your bracket in a Google Sheet

    Make sure it's shared/viewable via link.

  2. 2

    Paste the Google Sheets URL

    Into the bracket panel on the division's schedule page, then save.

  3. 3

    The bracket displays automatically

    It appears on the division's public bracket page for teams and spectators.

  4. 4

    Update or remove the link at any time

Managing Pre-Game Assignments

This section handles pre-game logistics for each team — not staff. It covers batting cage and infield/outfield warm-up time slots, pre-game meeting times, and which dugout (1st base or 3rd base side) each team uses.

  1. 1

    Set division-wide defaults once

    For example, "cage time starts 90 minutes before the game," or "team 1 uses the 3rd base dugout."

  2. 2

    Click "Apply Defaults"

    This automatically fills in these times/assignments for every game in the division, calculated from each game's start time.

  3. 3

    Fine-tune individual games

    Games without a set time will still get a dugout assignment, but time-based fields are left blank until a game time is added. Adjust any game by hand if it needs to differ from the defaults.

Game Management

From an individual game's page you can:

  • Edit the game's number, date, time, field, teams, and notes, or delete the game entirely
  • Enter each team's score and mark the game "Final" once it's complete — this triggers automatic winner/loser propagation to dependent games
  • View the Game Staff panel, showing who is assigned to work that specific game (umpires and other event staff roles), with click-to-call phone numbers

Master Schedule View

The Master Schedule combines every division's games into one master view for the whole event.

  • See all games across all divisions, sorted by date, time, and game number
  • Filter by team, field, or date, and optionally hide completed games to focus on what's still upcoming
  • Use this view for a bird's-eye check of the day's full slate — handy for spotting field conflicts or gaps across divisions at a glance
