Creating a Custom Practice Schedule

From the Practice Schedule Generation page, the system can export the current schedule. This will download a csv file that is formatted properly to import back into the system:

We recommend generating a schedule, exporting it, and then editing that schedule to import back in to the system.

When importing a custom schedule, basic validation will be performed. Every team must play the same number of matches as every other team, with an exception of up to 3 surrogate teams.

Date (mm/dd/yyyy)	Start Time (24hr hh:mm)	Match # or Break	Red 1 or Break Text	Red 2	Blue 1	Blue 2
2/10/2026	9:05	1	1111	2222	3333	4444
2/10/2026	9:17	2	2222	3333	1111	4444

Alternatively, you can directly edit the CSV shown below:

Date (mm/dd/yyyy),Start Time (24hr hh:mm),Match # or Break,Red 1 or Break Text,Red 2,Blue 1,Blue 2
2/10/2026,9:05,1,1111,2222,3333,4444
2/10/2026,9:17,2,2222,3333,1111,4444

Surrogate Teams can be denoted by appending a * to the end of their number in the schedule.
