Auto-schedule solver

Build a tournament schedule in 30 seconds

What you used to spend three days fixing in Excel — Goality's solver assigns hundreds of matches to fields, slots and referees in a single click.

  • Respects field availability and stadium hours
  • No referee conflicts, no team double-bookings
  • Re-run with one click after any change

The problem

Hand-built schedules waste days and still break

Excel sheets, sticky notes, group-chat ping-pong — and the moment a referee drops out or a team adds a coach, the whole plan unravels. Tournament directors lose entire weekends to logistics that should take minutes. Goality's solver was built so you never re-shuffle a bracket by hand again.

What you get

What the solver actually does

Smart constraint engine

Reads every constraint — field availability, referee shifts, team blackouts, division order — and produces a feasible plan or tells you exactly why it can't.

Multi-field, multi-stadium

Handles tournaments that span several stadiums and pitches simultaneously, with travel buffers between locations.

Referee assignments

Auto-matches referees to games based on their availability windows and prior assignments — no double-bookings.

Team blackouts

Coaches mark windows when a team can't play (long-distance travel, school events). The solver respects them automatically.

Re-run in one click

A team drops out, a field gets rained off, a referee cancels — change the input and regenerate. Existing results are preserved.

Explain mode

Every match comes with a 'why this slot' explanation, so you can defend the schedule to coaches in seconds.

FAQ

Frequently asked

How long does the solver take?
A typical 32-team, 8-field weekend tournament solves in under 30 seconds. Bigger formats — hundreds of matches across several stadiums — usually finish in 1–2 minutes.
Can I lock specific matches?
Yes. Pin opening matches, finals, or rivalry games to specific slots and the solver fills the rest around them.
What happens if there's no feasible solution?
Instead of returning nothing, the solver surfaces the conflicts: 'Field 2 has only 8 hours, you need 11.' You fix the input and re-run — usually one or two iterations.
Does it work for round-robin and playoffs?
Yes — group stages, knockout brackets, and mixed formats are all supported, with auto-advancement from groups to playoffs.
