GameTime Scheduler for Windows Help File

Playing Surface (venue)

Type the name used to describe playing surfaces or venues here. This name will be used through the rest of the wizard and on reports for this schedule instead of the generic term "field".

When you select a sport from the sport list box the default name for a venue is filled in here.

"I used to dread little league season, with all the hours of paperwork. Trying to schedule all the teams, registering and keeping track of all the players was an absolute nightmare. Your software was an answer to my prayers!
