RapidRoster

The problem

Manually building rosters is slow, and spreadsheets make the tradeoffs invisible.

• schedule
  Everything fights everything

  Teammate requests, availability, role caps, skill balance, and “keep these people apart” all pull in different directions.

• table
  Policies hide in cells

  The sheet holds names and numbers. The real rules live in your head — or in a note nobody updates.

• replay
  One change breaks three others

  Move one person and you redo half the grid. Fairness becomes guesswork, and you never know what you traded off.

Setup, rules, generate, and results — one workspace for every kind of roster.

Four building-block rules

Compose groupings from a few fundamental rules — not dozens of one-off settings.

1. group_work
   Cluster

   Keep matched people together, or place someone in a matching slot — teammate requests, preference columns, overlapping availability.

2. call_split
   Separate

   Spread similar participants apart — schools across teams, experienced players, people who should not share a slot.

3. filter_alt
   Limit

   Cap or require counts per slot — maximum 2 keepers, minimum 1 coach.

4. balance
   Balance

   Even out a number across slots — skill, age, or any other score you track.

Soft rules guide the search by score (partial success still counts). Hard rules never allow illegal placements. Mark priority from 1–100.

How it works

1. Sign in and create a project

   Save people, slots, rules, and results — come back later.

2. Import people and slots

   CSV in, column types set, sizes and conflict groups configured.

3. Add rules

   Cluster, Separate, Limit, Balance — with priority and hard/soft.

4. Generate, review, export

   Primary run plus alternatives, satisfaction report, download CSV.
