Schedule Requests
Schedule Requests are requests by a team on when their TC and IC presentations should be scheduled at a tournament.
The Resource Area categorizes requests as follows:
- a time request
- our team cannot arrive at the tournament before a specific time
- our team needs to leave the tournament at a specific time
- a kid (team member) request
- a kid on our team is also on the following teams at this tournament
- a tm (team manager) request
- one of our team managers is also managing other teams at this tournament
- as the Resource Area knows all the team managers, you don't need to enter these requests
- a family request
- our team has siblings on the following teams at this tournament
- we'd like to be able to see the other teams at our school
As you might expect, all of these do not necessarily carry the same weight.
- most schedulers honor time requests provided they are reasonable
- kid requests are likely the most important requests to handle
- teams are expect to have backup plans for busy team managers so a scheduler does their best
- family requests typically have the lowest priority
Depending on the mix of requests at a tournament, schedulers do their best to meet requests, but it is not always possible.
Both team managers and tournament officials can enter schedule requests.
Team managers can enter requests from Tournaments=>my tournaments as explained here.
Tournament Officials access to schedule requests is discussed here.
