Scheduling
Auto generate slots across multiple arenas, drop in breaks, catch tight rider transitions before they happen, run two or three named schedules side by side, and share a Preview link without publishing. Reschedule keeps a backup of every published version.
What you get
Scheduling is hard before the day even starts. Riders need time to switch horses and warm the new one up. Arenas that aren't adjacent need walking time. A 20x60 changing to a 20x40 needs the arena moved. Judges need breaks, and shouldn't be double-booked across two arenas at the same moment. And then there's the rider who emailed asking for an early time, the one who can't clash with her friend because she's helping in the afternoon, and the one who's got three horses to ride. Then the day begins - late entries, withdrawals, a judge swap, a test that overruns - and the draw you started with is rarely the draw you publish.
“An AI could have a shot at a schedule, it is almost impossible to create a schedule that suits everyone, and it takes experience to build one that doesn't suit the least number of people! Skorie's wizard does the dull arithmetic - you keep the judgement.”
Set schedule name, number of arenas, and seconds to add per entry (time between entering and leaving arena). The wizard generates every slot automatically.
One arena, two, ten or more. Each arena has its own start time, its own judges, its own slot duration override if a testsheet's expected time is off.
Skorie flags any rider with less than 10 minutes between arenas on the same horse, or less than 45 minutes between different horses (configurable). Visible in the wizard before you publish.
Insert a break with one click, type or step the duration, add a short break before a slot to give one rider extra prep time. The day shifts around it.
Drag an entry into a different competition's slot - the slot still shows the test the rider is actually doing, so the judge isn't caught out.
Save a "2 arenas" version, a "3 arenas" version, a "wet weather" version. Switch between them, back them up, and Compare against the published one side by side.
Share a private URL with judges and stewards to sanity check the draw before it goes public. No login needed for the link.
Publishing writes start times to every entry and onto the public Times page. Sequential checkboxes make sure that's deliberate, never accidental.
Republishing automatically backs up the previous version. Revert to the previously published times if a reschedule has gone wrong.
Every drag, every break, every override is saved as it happens. The wizard never asks you to remember.
How it works
From the Control Panel, start the wizard. Enter the schedule name, seconds to add per entry, and the number of arenas. Make sure every competition has a testsheet and at least one judge.
The wizard fills the arenas with entries. Drag entries between arenas, insert breaks, switch slot duration overrides where needed, watch the transition warnings as you go.
Save alternative versions ("2 arenas", "3 arenas"). Use Compare to diff against the currently published times. Share the Preview link with judges and stewards.
Tick through the publish confirmation. Start times land on every entry and the public Times page goes live. Reschedule any time - the previous version is backed up automatically.
