Chairpersons can control when scheduled events are released to member schools and when they become publicly available.

Events can be released from the Schedule View, during a Schedule Import, or through the Auto Scheduler.

Release Status Options

LeagueMinder provides three release statuses:

• Not Released — The event remains visible only to the Chairperson. This status can be used while a master schedule is still being created or finalized.
• Tentative — The event is released to Athletic Directors but is not yet publicly available.
• Auto Accepted — The event is released to Athletic Directors and made public.

A previously released event can also be Reset if it needs to be returned to Not Released status.

This can be useful when an event was released by mistake or when schedules need to be temporarily pulled back during a blackout period, such as for officials assigning.
