Traynrex Sports Scheduling

The traynrex family of sports scheduling solutions is an active development project from Thetasoft LLC. Each solution targets a specific hardship related to scheduling of team sports.

Everything ranging from building season game schedules to building tournament brackets and even assigning and tracking game officials is actively being researched for development.

The primary target for these solutions is recreational sports -- specifically volunteer supported organizations and communities.

Bracket Builder

The first product released is BracketBuilder. This is an add-in to Excel that helps build tournament brackets. You select where you want to games to be placed on a 2d grid and BracketBuilder will make sure all of the games are connected with lines, ensure there are no overlapping games or lines, and link all of the games together so the bracket will update live as game results are entered.

It comes with definitions built-in for tournaments based on Little League double elimination brackets. You can also provide your own bracket definitions and you will be able to build using those brackets.

This add-in is complete and has been released to the Microsoft Office Store. You can get to it on the web at BracketBuilder, Or you can just click on Add-Ins in the Excel Ribbon and search for BracketBuilder.
