    Our kid pitch league has 9 teams, and every team plays twice a week.

    You want a [itch bay] of problem to solve? Scheduling 9 teams twice a week over 3 nights.

    It seems like there would be some software or website that would spit something out for you if you provide the parameters.

    There is, but we have to do quirky scheduling due to field availability and that's where it gets complicated.

    Mondays we play 3 games on 2 fields

    Tuesdays we play 2 games on 1 field

    Thursdays we play 4 games on 2 fields.

    It's manageable, just takes some work.

    they gave me the "super scheduler" software which must be a decade old at least given by the cd it came from.

    why the limitation on the fields?

    do you accommodate coaches with two kids? i.e. make sure their games don't overlap. apparently they've tried to do this in prior years, but i can't say i want to go overboard.

    i suggested to my wife that one of the women we know on the board would be better at it than i (i'm right), but she told me i was being sexist.

    I'd have told the organization to derelict my balls. Of course I'm not stupid enough to coach either.

    Flag was fun. Spread no huddle. He was asked to and could play slot in tackle but we decided not to right now.
