The schedule lives in a spreadsheet
Fixtures get typed into the league site, again into the stream, again into the calendar — and a moved kick-off has to be fixed in all three before Friday.
07/ 08SEE IT END TO END
ON AIRSPORTS & LEAGUES
Import every fixture with one button, put a volunteer on the scoreboard and an unattended camera on the second field, and send the game to every screen your families watch on — with the season pass, the ticker and the team pages already built around it.
- Season import in one press
- Score refresh every 10 seconds
- 6 simulcast destination types
- A profile for every athlete
02/ 08YOUR WORLD TODAY
The score never reaches the stream
The scoring app shows one number, the broadcast shows none, and the website says nothing until somebody posts the final to social.
Half your venues have no crew
Varsity gets the volunteers. The practice field and the away gym get nothing, because nobody is free to stand behind a camera and press record.
Registration ends on a clipboard
The form might be online, but the fee, the signature and the documents arrive separately — so registration still finishes at the first practice.
03/ 08WHAT CHANGES
- 01Retype every fixture into the site, the stream and the calendar.Import the season once. Every fixture becomes a ready-to-broadcast event, and re-running the import updates changed times without touching anything edited by hand.
- 02Parents refresh a social feed to find out the score.A volunteer taps the score on a phone. Web, mobile and TV viewers see it within seconds, and the ticker’s match strip carries it across every page.
- 03A game with no crew is a game nobody sees.An automated camera starts and stops exactly on the scheduled window. Nobody needs to be at the venue.
- 04A registration form that still ends with a paper slip and a cash box.One registration form with uploads, a drawn signature, a consent checkbox and the fee. Every submission lands in a review queue that emails the applicant at each step.
- 05A “season ticket” that’s really a list of email addresses.A fixed-window season pass that every holder shares — it opens and ends for everyone on the same day, and pass holders walk straight past the ticket button.
04/ 08WHAT YOU SWITCH ON
Switch a module off and its public page, navigation link and app tab leave together. Add-ons switch off without losing their data.
Live EventsEvery fixture is a broadcast page with a countdown, four ways to charge, simulcast to six destination types and a replay that publishes itself.
Scoring & tickerA phone scoreboard with locked finals, and a ticker pinned to every page with live match cards, crests and a period clock.
Athletes & teamsA profile per athlete with GPA, number and stars, a page per team with the roster by position — and every game, replay and article tagged to them lands on both.
Programme guide“Friday Night Football, 7–10pm, September to November” — entered once, with every event mirrored in and kept in sync.
On-demandWhere the replays land. A doubleheader stays one entry, and every watch page carries a rail of 12 recommendations.
Forms add-onRegistrations with 24 field types, file uploads, a drawn signature, a fee and a real review workflow.
Ticketing add-onSell admission at the gate as well as the stream — barcoded tickets carrying your logo and a sponsor’s.
Clip add-onFans grab the last 10, 15 or 30 seconds of a live game — a perk you put on a plan instead of a screen recording.
Reels add-onHighlights in a vertical feed, tagged with teams so they land on the team pages by themselves.
StoreJerseys and scarves on the same site as the game, with guest checkout and stock tracking that flips to sold out on its own.
RadioLeave offLeave it off unless a station calls your games — then attach it to the event as companion audio.
Shows & seriesLeave offUseful for a weekly coach’s show. Most leagues start the season without it.
05/ 08FRIDAY NIGHT
A varsity football game at a member school: one volunteer crew in the press box, one parent on the scoreboard, an unattended camera on the JV field, and no truck.
- Friday · 16:00
The page has been up since August
The game came in with the season import, so its countdown page, homepage banner and guide slot have been live for weeks. When the conference moved kick-off to 19:00 on Tuesday, the athletic director re-ran the import — the new time reached all three, and every edit she’d made by hand stayed put.
- Friday · 18:10
Two games, one crew
On the practice field, the JV game is already on air with nobody there: its automated camera started on the scheduled window and will stop on it. In the varsity press box, a volunteer signs in with a crew login and copies the connection settings into OBS. Nobody emailed anyone a stream key.
- Friday · 18:45
Fifteen minutes out
Everyone who saved the game gets a reminder in the app and by phone push. A parent in the bleachers signs in to the scoring app with a login that reaches the score, the clock and the period — and nothing else. Across the top of every page, the ticker is already running tonight’s matchups.
- Friday · 19:00
Kick-off
The player swaps in on the event page without a refresh, and the same signal leaves for NFHS Network and the league’s YouTube channel, each on its own switch. Season-pass holders are straight in. Everyone else presses play and is offered the one thing that lets them in: a ticket for tonight.
- Friday · 20:14
Third quarter, from the bleachers
The scorer taps a touchdown and sets the period to Q3. The watch page, the ticker’s match strip and the TV app in a grandparent’s living room all show it within seconds, with the clock ticking smoothly in between.
- Friday · 21:32
Final, locked
The scorer marks the game final and the score freezes; only an administrator can reopen it. If the visiting coach disputes the last touchdown on Monday, every change is on record — who entered it, when, from which device, and the score before and after.
- Friday · 21:45
The replay is already up
The broadcast ends, the banners come down, and the recording publishes itself as an on-demand entry with the same artwork, open to season-pass holders. The volunteer crew is in the car park before the stadium lights go off.
