Create league scheduling step in slowpitch.love, a softball schedule builder for league managers

slowpitch.love is designed for leagues that run once a week. If this doesn't match your needs, please contact us. We can accommodate your requirements.

Field Descriptions

Days of Play

  • First Day: Select the day you expect your league to begin. This can be modified later if needed.
  • Last Day: Choose the day you expect the final games to be played, including or excluding playoffs as needed.

Game Times

Specify the start and end times for your games on the selected day of play.

Playoff Options

Decide whether to include a playoff bracket in your league. If selected, slowpitch.love will automatically adjust the regular season schedule to accommodate the playoff bracket based on:

  • Number of teams
  • Bracket type (single or double-elimination)

Custom Scheduling Requests

slowpitch.love offers flexible scheduling to meet your specific needs. You can make any scheduling request, and our team will accommodate it to the best of our ability. Here are some examples of supported scenarios:

  • Team-specific time restrictions (e.g., "Team Rick cannot play at 6pm")
  • Holiday breaks (e.g., "Week off for July 4th")
  • Bracket type preferences (e.g., "Double-elimination instead of single-elimination")
  • Shared facility scheduling (e.g., "Same fields and times as our other Monday night league")
  • Team coordination (e.g., "Team Jackie and Team Shawn carpool, so schedule them together when possible")
