The main advantage of FC.APP is automation and streamlining the tournament organization process. The schedule is generated automatically based on the completed form, and matches can later be edited and moved in real-time.
You don't have to arrange the schedule manually – the system does it for you in seconds.
🎯 How does the automatic schedule work?
Generation Process:
Step 1: Fill out the form
Choose the tournament format, number of pitches, match duration, and breaks.
Step 2: System generates the schedule
It automatically arranges all matches, assigns pitches, sets start times, and distributes teams proportionally.
Step 3: You can edit
Move matches in time, change pitches, or edit the order – all in real-time.
⚙️ Schedule Generation Options
The system offers 3 options for arranging matches, depending on the tournament format:
Option 1: All teams simultaneously on all pitches
How it works:
Teams from every group play at the same time.
All available pitches are used simultaneously, and matches are distributed proportionally.
Example:
Time | Pitch 1 (Group A) | Pitch 2 (Group B) | Pitch 3 (Group C) | Pitch 4 (Group D) |
09:00 | A1 vs A2 | B1 vs B2 | C1 vs C2 | D1 vs D2 |
09:15 | A3 vs A4 | B3 vs B4 | C3 vs C4 | D3 vs D4 |
09:30 | A1 vs A3 | B1 vs B3 | C1 vs C3 | D1 vs D3 |
09:45 | A2 vs A4 | B2 vs B4 | C2 vs C4 | D2 vs D4 |
10:00 | A1 vs A4 | B1 vs B4 | C1 vs C4 | D1 vs D4 |
10:15 | A2 vs A3 | B2 vs B3 | C2 vs C3 | D2 vs D3 |
Option 2: Groups alternating on all pitches
How it works:
Groups are assigned to all pitches one by one.
Once one group finishes its round, the pitches are assigned to the next group.
Example:
Time | Group | Pitch 1 | Pitch 2 | Pitch 3 | Pitch 4 |
09:00 – 09:15 | Group A | A1 vs A2 | A3 vs A4 | A1 vs A3 | A2 vs A4 |
09:15 – 09:30 | Group B | B1 vs B2 | B3 vs B4 | B1 vs B3 | B2 vs B4 |
09:30 – 09:45 | Group C | C1 vs C2 | C3 vs C4 | C1 vs C3 | C2 vs C4 |
09:45 – 10:00 | Group D | D1 vs D2 | D3 vs D4 | D1 vs D3 | D2 vs D4 |
Option 3: Sessions with specific groups
How it works:
The schedule is divided into time sessions.
In each session, specific groups use the pitches according to the set schedule.
You decide which groups play in which session.
Example:
Time | Pitch 1 | Pitch 2 | Status |
09:00 – 09:30 | A1 vs A2 | A3 vs A4 | Group A (Round 1) |
09:30 – 10:00 | A1 vs A3 | A2 vs A4 | Group A (Round 2) |
10:00 – 10:30 | A1 vs A4 | A2 vs A3 | Group A (Round 3) |
10:30 – 10:45 | Technical break | Technical break | Group change |
10:45 – 11:15 | B1 vs B2 | B3 vs B4 | Group B (Round 1) |
11:15 – 11:45 | B1 vs B3 | B2 vs B4 | Group B (Round 2) |
11:45 – 12:15 | B1 vs B4 | B2 vs B3 | Group B (Round 3) |
