Venues

What is venue priority?

Venue priority forces the scheduler algorithm to prioritize timeslot selection based on your venue settings. There are 2 types of venue prioritization you can select: “Use Best First” and “Evenly Distribute”.

 

---

Use Best First: Diamond Scheduler will attempt to fill up timeslots in higher-priority venues first, before using timeslots in lower-priority venues.

Evenly Distribute: Diamond Scheduler will attempt to even out the distribution of venues across teams (eg. 2 games in Venue A, 2 games in Venue B, 2 games in Venue C).

Note: When you have this feature turned on and Balance days, times, venues on at the same time, Diamond Scheduler will prioritize Venue balancing over day and time balancing.
