When to use it

Use when a person joins several activities or also works as a presenter, scorer or other operator. Compare two consecutive activities for the same person in each row.

A clash-free schedule does not establish safe participation or adequate recovery. Example transfer times are fictional site findings, not sport-specific recommendations.

Fill in the template step by step

When to use it

Complete after participants are confirmed; recheck when fixtures, players or operating duties change.

What to have ready

  • Team and individual player lists, plus operating duties
  • The time each person must report and the time they may leave each activity
  • Observed transfer and preparation requirements between zones
  1. Combine playing and operating duties under each participant ID in time order.

  2. Record the call-to-release periods for consecutive activities and check overlap first.

  3. If they do not overlap, compare the available gap with the time needed to travel and prepare.

  4. Have the responsible lead approve changes to order, player or role, then give teams, callers and officials the same timetable version.

Check your completed template

  • Overlap and insufficient transfer or preparation time are identified as different problems.
  • After adjustment, the participant’s, opponent’s and scoring staff’s schedules have all been rechecked.

What to pass to the next person

The programme lead gives the revised timetable to competition, referee, caller and team-guide leads and withdraws older copies.

Check before using this template

Check individual health, sporting rules and medical advice separately. Automated calculations assist scheduling; they do not decide fitness to participate.
