NCSL-Rec Schedules: Why the delay in posting?

[Anonymous]

Posting schedules five days before games begin would be completely absurd. Posting them *this* late (today) is already ridiculously late.

We have done rec sports run completely by parent volunteers who are far more professional and on top of things then this garbage.

I think the rec business was not as Easy Money as they anticipated ("it's just rec! how hard can it be?") and maybe they bit off more than they could chew. Last season was a disaster-so many problems compared to when SFL was in charge.

their own schedule on their site still says schedules will be posted with a deadline of today. wouldn't they edit that if they were going to be posted even later?

The site says Sep 1. Likely won't happen until after 8pm that night.

Where do you see that? The deadline has been today since they posted the calendar.

Scroll down the page under calendar.

I can't believe they changed the deadline even later without any apology or acknowledgment of the inconvenience. They would never be so
lazy and half-@ssed with the travel schedules.

I don't know about that. For travel we are still getting rescheduled games in our schedule, one came out yesterday and it's not even on the posted schedule.

I miss SFL who looked at FCPS and other school calendars before scheduling games. Prepare for lots of forfeits for last Nov game when FCPS has 5 day weekend.

That's completely different. You had a complete schedule for the season in July. Of course one off games are canceled and rescheduled all the time, that happens to rec games too.

The travel parents would be apopletic if NCSL hadn't published their game schedules for next week by now.

Travel didn't come out until middle of August not July. In our bracket most of the games have an R next to them meaning they have been rescheduled. Other than optics of getting your schedule if most were changed it's not really any better.

Nonsense, my older child has only had one game rescheduled. Their schedule came out August 12. Everyone would prefer a schedule coming out in a timely manner with a handful or reschedules to nothing.

STILL waiting for younger child's rec schedule. They aren't incompetent, b/c they put the club schedule out on time. So they are just lazy and don't care.

I don't understand how SFL volunteers were able to do this in a timely manner using spreadsheets and a protractor whereas paid staff at NCSL using a very easy automated scheduling system have completely dropped the ball.

Ours is missing 3 away game times, the times are kind of important.

That usually means the other org didn't give the scheduler enough field space. Expect the game to be played on a really crappy field.

With schedule out, heard some families have reached out to coaches already to say they won’t do the away games. No it sure is that’s because distance or more evening games this year. By GPS our away games are 42, 48 and 50 minute/ (if no traffic). Is that standard time to go to rec games? How does it compare to travel?

For ncsl travel. U11 one away game is about an hour and 20 minutes. The other away games are probably in the 40-45 min range.
