A real engine.
Round-robins, group pools, single- and double-elimination brackets. Every rule you set, held at the same time — and the same inputs give you the same schedule every time. Drag a game where you want it and the grid takes it.

Say the rule. Watch it work.
Describe a scheduling rule the way you’d say it out loud — “no team plays back-to-back road games” — and Big Sports builds it, then runs it against your real season and shows you what it would flag before you accept a thing.

Smart rules
Describe it, then check its work.
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
Type the rule, not the form
“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 human — no form to find, no setting to learn the name of.
02 · It builds it
A real rule, not a note
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 it's a first-class rule: hard or soft, weighted, editable, and switchable off.
03 · It proves it
Checked against your real season
Before you accept anything, the rule runs against your actual games and shows you what it would flag and what it wouldn't. You're approving evidence, not a promise — and 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, deterministically, which is exactly why there’s something real to check the rule against. Smart rules is on Plus, and every account starts with 21 days of Plus free; Free covers the core rules on a form.
Three more things it does
Survives the Saturday rainout.
Cancel a game and the engine ranks the make-up slots that don’t break your rules. Conservative by default — one rainout moves that one game, not five others. Locks hold. Nothing is saved until you say so.
See howEvery change is reversible.
Every edit is saved as its own step — who moved it, when, and exactly what changed. Undo it, redo it, or go back to how the season looked last Tuesday. Hand the board a history instead of an apology.

What everyone else sees
Your league, your page.
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 as 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.
