Support playoff seeding, bracket creation, and scheduling adjustments as teams advance through elimination rounds.
Assist with tournament and special event scheduling, including All-Star Games, Rivalry Nights, and WAG Cup events.
Maintain accurate league, team, and scheduling data across internal spreadsheets, Zoho CRM, and other platforms.
