      3. Unsuccessful scheduling - the system will provide a list of games that it could not schedule.

  Tips:

  • Unsuccessful scheduling may be due to the following: incorrect information (verify you've entered it correctly), or there are not enough game spots available (check the game count option).
  • To print a list of league games for all your leagues at once, click on Flex Calendar, and uncheck Programs and Reservations. Then click the Export button, choose your options, and then click Download Export.

  Notes:

  • If you have an odd number of teams, the "Each Team Plays Same Number of Games" is not available.
  • If you see a conflict that you wish to reschedule, click Edit next to the time slot to change the date/time/location.
