Welcome to MatchGrid
MatchGrid is an AI-powered scheduling platform designed to eliminate the chaos of coordinating sports schedules across multiple teams, venues, and organizations. Whether you’re managing a high school conference, club league, or regional tournament, MatchGrid helps you create conflict-free schedules in minutes instead of hours.
What MatchGrid Does
MatchGrid automates the complex logic of sports scheduling while respecting your constraints:
- AI-Powered Scheduling: Our constraint-based engine considers blackout dates, travel limits, venue availability, and team preferences to generate optimized schedules automatically.
- Conflict Detection: Catch double-bookings, venue conflicts, and scheduling violations before they become problems.
- Travel Optimization: Balance road trips fairly across all teams to minimize travel burden and maximize home-court advantage equity.
- Multi-Region Support: Manage schedules across conferences, districts, or regions from a single dashboard.
[!TIP] Start with the Quick Start flow when you first sign in. It takes less than 2 minutes to configure your sport and terminology preferences, then auto-creates your workspace with sample data so you can explore immediately.
Your First Steps
After signing up, here’s the recommended path to get scheduling:
- Complete Quick Start — Select your sport to auto-configure terminology (e.g., “Games” vs “Matches”, “Schools” vs “Clubs”)
- Add Your Teams — Import from a spreadsheet or create them manually
- Set Up Locations — Define your venues and courts with availability windows
- Configure Blackouts — Mark holidays, school closures, and other off-days
- Generate Your Schedule — Let the AI scheduler do the heavy lifting
Two Ways to Schedule
MatchGrid offers two scheduling approaches:
Manual Track
Build your schedule by hand using the drag-and-drop calendar. Perfect for simple leagues or when you need precise control over every matchup.
Auto-Scheduler Track
Define your constraints and preferences, then let the AI generate an optimized schedule. Ideal for complex leagues with many teams and constraints.
[!INFO] Most users start with the Auto-Scheduler to generate a baseline, then fine-tune with manual adjustments. You can switch between modes anytime.
