Share One Link. Athletes Know When to Warm Up.

Every coach at your meet has the same question before the gun goes off: "When does my athlete's event start?"

Before RecordBoard, the answer was a paper schedule taped to a fence post, a PDF attached to an email, or a phone call to the meet director. None of those update when field events run long.

RecordBoard just shipped a full meet schedule builder — and the most useful part isn't the builder itself. It's the public URL.

What it does

Meet directors can now build a session-by-session schedule directly in RecordBoard. Each session has a name, date, and start time. Events drag into sessions in any order. The schedule builder calculates estimated start times automatically based on event type and session order — and meet directors can override any individual event with a manual time if needed.

When field events run simultaneously, the meet director can mark them as concurrent so the schedule accurately reflects that two events are happening at the same time rather than stacking them sequentially.

The public URL

Every meet gets a schedule page at a permanent RecordBoard URL. Meet directors share it. Coaches bookmark it. Parents text it to athletes.

The page shows every session, every event, every estimated start time — no account, no app download, no login required to view it.

When a session goes live, the schedule updates in real time. Coaches following along on their phone see a green "Live" badge appear next to the active session and its events. The page polls automatically every five seconds when anything is live.

Why this matters

Hy-Tek produces no public-facing output. TFRRS shows results after the fact. Neither gives coaches at competing schools any visibility into the meet schedule before or during the event.

RecordBoard's schedule URL is something coaches can actually send to their team the week before a meet. Every coach from a competing school who follows that link sees the RecordBoard URL — and discovers the platform organically.

This is the PLG loop: one meet director uses RecordBoard, and coaches from 15 other schools see it in action.

How to set it up

1. Open your meet in RecordBoard and click the Schedule tab
2. Click Add session — give it a name, date, and start time
3. Assign events to the session by clicking Add event within the session
4. Drag to reorder, or use the arrow buttons on mobile
5. Click Public schedule in the toolbar to open the live URL

Share that URL in your meet invitation email, post it to your school website, or send it directly to coaches.

What's coming next

Issue #406 (schedule PDF export) is in progress. When it ships, meet directors will be able to generate a print-ready schedule PDF directly from the same session builder — no reformatting required. The same schedule data that powers the live URL will produce the PDF.

Social post

RecordBoard just shipped a public meet schedule URL.

Build your session-by-session schedule → share one link → coaches and athletes see estimated start times for every event, updating live on meet day.

No other US meet management software publishes a live, shareable schedule. This is what Hy-Tek doesn't do.

Subject: New: Build your meet schedule and share it with coaches

You can now build a session-by-session schedule for your meet directly in RecordBoard — and share it with coaches and athletes using one public URL.

What coaches see: every session, every event, estimated start times, and a live indicator when your session goes active. No account needed to view it.

What you set up:

• Create sessions (name, date, start time)
• Assign events and drag to reorder
• Mark concurrent field events so the schedule reflects overlapping start times
• Share the URL in your meet invitation

Open any meet, click the Schedule tab, and create your first session.

More coming: schedule PDF export is next (Issue #406).
