This is a real benefit to everyone Mike, not just the new comers - thanks for taking the time to run through this.

While true, this is not all that cumbersome to 'manage'. The auto-scheduler, with a bit of forethought and a good use of the groups and sub-groups, is almost as good as a spreadsheet method and only requires marginal intervention on my part. The biggest hassle for me with respect to venues was just setting them all up (over a thousand at this point). It does not do exactly what I want it to, but I sacrifice a little because I just couldn't use a spreadsheet for over 8,000 active fighters. With just a few additional filters (I have ideas) I think that the scheduler could seriously challenge spreadsheets as the prime tool to underpin a universe.
Thanks again Mike, this is a great service to everyone,
Christopher
