TazSchedule vs Exposure
Directors pick TazSchedule because it is the easiest scheduler on the market: import → generate → publish in one workflow, $49/mo or $399/yr (or $49 once). No one else has fully functioning scheduling, best-in-class electronic ticketing, registration, and a merchandise store all in one: TazSchedule, TazForm, TazTix, and TazCart.
Autoscheduler that actually sticks
Import → generate → Pack / Hail Mary leftovers. Directors who have run Exposure and Bracket Team still rewrite those grids by hand — TazSchedule is built so the court grid survives Friday night.
Fastest schedule turnaround
Import → generate → publish or export in one workflow. No second product for the court grid, and no evening of hand placement after a “draft.”
Price that makes it a no-brainer
$49/mo or $399/yr, unlimited teams and staff — not per-team credits. $49 one-time for a single event (Schedule only). Payment is required only to export. Suite bundles (Form, Tix, Cart) on Monthly and Annual; Multi-club is custom.
No one else has this
No one else has fully functioning scheduling, best-in-class electronic ticketing, registration, and a merchandise store all in one: TazSchedule, TazForm, TazTix, and TazCart. TazForm handles registration. TazTix is a full electronic ticketing system — not a QR-code generator. TazCart is the shop for tournament apparel and merch. Scheduling is TazSchedule. Stay standalone if you already collect registrations elsewhere.
The court grid, done
Exposure is the basketball event network — SchedulePro AI, schedule-request imports, scoresheets, NCAA coach packets, and a public directory. Directors who have used Exposure’s autoscheduler for years still hand-fix most of the weekend. TazSchedule focuses on that hard part: registration-export import with conflicts, generate against your courts, Pack / Hail Mary leftovers, named conflict audit, print gate/court sheets and scoresheets, then share a public event page with brackets, venues, and optional ticket links (or export the Exposure game-import CSV). Add the Suite when you want registration (TazForm), best-in-class electronic ticketing (TazTix), and a tournament apparel shop (TazCart) — not just schedule credits. $49/mo or $399/yr — not $2 per visible team. No one else has fully functioning scheduling, best-in-class electronic ticketing, registration, and a merchandise store all in one: TazSchedule, TazForm, TazTix, and TazCart.

A dash means we have not independently verified that capability for that vendor from their live documentation (checked 2026-09-17). Partial means they document a related tool, not the same constraint engine. None means their live pages show they do not offer that item (for example a published per-event price, or Taz's four-product stack: TazSchedule, TazForm, TazTix, and TazCart). We only publish a competitor mark after checking a live page; each comparison page links to the source. Pricing and capabilities change — verify before you rely on this table.
What to ask Exposure on a demo
Ask us the same questions. If any answer here turns out to be wrong, tell us and we'll correct the page.
- Can I import a team export from the registration platform I already use — including coach conflicts, blackouts, linked teams, and venue priorities?
- Does generate honor games-per-team, rematch caps, U12 hours (9 AM–7 PM), and coach locks in one pass?
- If leftovers remain, can I Fill remaining or Hail Mary without rebuilding the confirmed slate?
- What is the published price — monthly, annual, or a single event — not a quote?
- Does anyone else ship fully functioning scheduling, best-in-class electronic ticketing (not just QR codes), registration, and a tournament apparel shop in one — TazSchedule, TazForm, TazTix, and TazCart — or only Taz?
- Is there a public event page with brackets, venues, and optional tickets that families can open without an account?
- Do you export CSV, Excel, a printable court grid, and a conflict-audit PDF?
- Can I back up a competition, try a regenerate, and restore Friday's slate?
