Frequently Asked Questions

Can I start in Excel and still use your scheduler?
Yes. Many leagues draft team lists in Excel, then generate schedules in Sport Scheduler Pro and export back to CSV when needed.
What columns should be in an Excel league schedule template?
Use week, date, time, home team, away team, venue, and score columns. That structure works for most league workflows.
Should I send Excel files every time the schedule changes?
A share link is better for active seasons. Use exports for snapshots, but keep the public link as your primary schedule source.
Can I print from Excel for bulletin boards?
Yes. Export from the generator to CSV, format in Excel, and print by week or by team.
