What usually goes wrong
The volleyball weekends we hear about break in the same places. None of them are fixed by retyping the grid.
- Court count changes Friday night and the grid is already printed
- A gym that closes at noon is treated as a full day
- Work-team rotations from OVR format sheets get lost when the grid moves
- Families need to see who plays and who works on the same slate
What to run instead
Same auto-schedule underneath. These are the first moves for this kind of weekend.
- 1
Upload the gym as it actually is
Season grids and split-day windows become on-the-hour slots. A noon closure is a closed cell, not a full Sunday. League weeks use the same on-the-hour engine as other court sports.

OVR formats place the work team
Seeded pool sheets assign who plays and who works (refs) on every match. The schedule shows Team A vs Team B — work Team C on the grid, public page, and printables.

When a court disappears Friday night
Do not reprint from scratch. Append the courts you still have, or Fill remaining / Hail Mary the leftovers onto Available cells. Pin the matches that are already confirmed.

Share the slate families will actually open
A public schedule page and printable court-grid PDFs so the front desk and the group text see the same hours — including who is the work team.
