Smart rules · Clubs & leagues
Describe a scheduling rule the way you’d say it out loud, like “no team plays back-to-back road games.” Big Sports builds it, runs it against your real season, and shows you what it would flag before you accept anything.

You type “No team plays back-to-back road games”. Big Sports reads it as the “No back-to-back” rule (Rest): “All teams play at most 1 away game in a row”, checks it against 84 games, and shows that 2 games break it. Nothing is saved until you accept.

Smart rules
The hard part of scheduling software was never the schedule. It was telling the thing what your league’s rules actually are, through a form built by someone who has never met your league. Now you can just say it.
01 · Say it
“No team plays back-to-back road games.” “Field 3 is dark after 6pm in October.” Say it the way you'd say it to another person. There's no form to find and no setting to learn the name of.
02 · It builds it
Smart rules either recognises a rule type Big Sports already has and sets it up for you, or builds you a new one. Either way you get a proper rule: hard or soft, weighted, editable, and easy to switch off.
03 · It proves it
Before you accept anything, the rule runs against your actual games and shows you what it would flag and what it wouldn't. Nothing is saved until you say so.
The model reads your sentence and writes the rule. It never writes the schedule. The engine does that, from your rules, so there’s a real season to check the rule against. Smart rules is on Plus, and every new account comes with 21 days of Plus free; Free covers the core rules, picked from a list.
Round-robins, group pools, single- and double-elimination brackets. Every rule you set is considered together, and no language model ever places a game. Drag a game where you want it and the grid tells you whether it fits before you let go.
See howPostpone a game and the engine suggests make-up slots that fit your rules, best first. Conservative by default: one rainout moves that one game, not five others. Locked games stay put.
See howEvery edit is saved as its own step: who moved it, when, and exactly what changed. Undo it, redo it, or scroll back through the whole season. When the board asks what happened, you can show them.

Twenty-two teams, four fields, and one Saturday of setup standing between you and the season. You do this on top of everything else, and you’d like the evenings back.
Running tournaments or a conference? Pools and brackets work today. Tournament tools and multi-organization setups are still coming.
Tell us what you runWhat everyone else sees
Publish the schedule and every parent, coach and referee gets a link that works on a phone. Put your own colors and type on it, and it reads as your league’s page, not someone else’s software with your fixtures inside it.
It follows the live schedule. Move a rained-out game and the page and the calendar feed both update, so nobody turns up at a field you already cleared.
Every plan publishes a public page, including Free. Your own colors, your own type, and no Big Sports watermark come with Plus.
Pricing
One flat rate for the whole organization. Pay for the season, not for every team that signs up.
