Ask HN: How do you planify your sport sessions?

[ebreton]

Say you want to play a 4-people team sport regularly.

You have more friends than that who are usually happy to play, but all of them have with their own constraints. It is therefore quite a challenge to plan every week 2 sessions (or more) with exactly 4 available players.

Would you have any tool that would help ?

Ideally,

- no manager needed -> the group just organize itself thanks to the app.

- any member of the group can clearly view when sessions are proposed with the number of remaining seats / who will attend

- the tool automatically reset the calendar every week (or allow to book events on a 'x-days' sliding window)

Back with some preliminary findings

- [OK] Time Tree: a (basic) shared calendar will fill up the requirements quite nicely with reccuring events and nice views of who will attend which events

- [KO] Calendly: which provides interesting feature to set up the events, but no view of who is going to attend when

- [KO] DigiCal, another shared calendar but could set up properly/simply a shared calendar

I think you just need a person with actual executive function to order the people to arrive to a given location at a given time once he hashes out the details. That is, I think your first ideal point is wrong. If these are 4 busy people their executive function might literally be gone after work week. They can only think in potato.
