Scheduling
MSPSP Spring scheduling will take place from February 7th - 19th. The schedule is available on the MSPSP website to view fixtures and team contact information for scheduling. Team contact info can be found in each teams profile either by selecting the team within the schedule or by searching for the team. In the team profile, select the 'View Team Contact Information' link.
Schedule Verification will be February 20th - 22nd. During this period scheduling controls will still be active for any last minute scheduling changes.
Scheduling is complete & final February 23rd. Schedules must be entered into GotSport completely by this time or teams risk fines for unscheduled matches.
Team Officials (Coaches or Managers) can schedule their matches as well as Club Admins in GotSport.

Missing Team Contact Info
-If a team is missing contact information, the team does not currently have coaches or managers assigned to the team. Notify MSPSP, we will assist as we are able.
-If a team is missing contact information, navigate to the 'Clubs' option at the top of the MSPSP schedule page on the website and locate the club in question. Locate 'Club Contact Information' on the club info page, this will show the clubs staff / admins. Reach out to the club and inform them of the scheduling issue / request appropriate person of contact.
-Clubs need to assign coaches / managers to the team if individuals are not displayed. Clubs / Teams can amend teams with missing contact information by adding team officials to the team in GotSport - the team officials are required to have approved RM
-If you previously had team officials listed on a team and now do not, it is likely GotSports Risk Management audit system has removed you for RM eligibility reasons - check your RM credentials for eligibility and potentially needing to rectify.
-If you are unable to connect with an opponent / club during the scheduling process, or they have gone MIA, or are having general difficulty in scheduling please reach out to MSPSP.
Scheduling Suggestions
Here are a few recommendations to look into when you're scheduling with your opponents should you be concerned with travel or availability:
-Do you play a league opponent in SC? Use the match as a dual-result match! (form below)
-Do you play a league opponent in a tournament in Michigan? Play the tournament match as an MSPSP match! (form below)
-If travel is a concern, teams can mutually agree to meet half-way to play at a neutral-site venue.
-Attempt to facilitate matches against local competition during the weekdays, not weekends, using weekends for travel.
-Double header or playing 2 matches over a weekend if opponents in close proximity when traveling to reduce future travel.
Block Scheduling
-For the concern of referee availability, if you are able, we request you attempt to schedule with your other club teams utilizing 'time blocks' and scheduling matches in a row such as 2pm, 4pm, 6pm, etc rather than sporadic such as 2 matches at 2PM then another at 6pm - one referee crew can officiate the first example, however 3 referee crews may be needed for the second example - this will greatly help referee availability / assigning.
