Your schedule is set.
Your buses
aren’t — yet.

RoadGame imports your sports schedule, sends bus requests to your vendors, collects confirm / decline / counter-offers, and texts coaches when it matters — bus number, driver, pickup time, ETA. You get a ranked list of trips that need attention before Friday falls apart.

Dozens
Away trips per season — each needs a vendor, a confirm, and a coach who got the message.
Hrs
Every week on email threads, phone tag, and "just checking in" texts.
3+
Bus vendors per district, none of them in your scheduling system.
0
Tools that track vendor replies and coach delivery in one place.
The problem

The schedule isn’t the hard part. Keeping buses lined up is.

Most missed buses aren't one big failure. They're a vendor who never replied, a coach who wasn't on the thread, or a trip you sensed was trouble but couldn't name until it was too late.

Problem 01
Wrong game

The vendor confirmed the wrong game.

"I emailed the bus company Tuesday for a Friday game. They confirmed a different trip. I found out at 3:40 when the team was already in uniform on the curb."

— Athletic Director, 3A district, Northeast
Problem 02
Missed

The coach never got the update.

"We changed the pickup spot that morning. The note went to two email threads and a group text. The freshman coach saw none of them."

— Assistant AD, 4A district, Midwest
Problem 03
No list

You knew Friday felt risky — but not which trips to fix first.

"By Wednesday I have a feeling Friday is going to be bad. I just can't point at it. I want a list — these three trips, in this order, fix them now."

— Athletic Director, 5A district, Sun Belt
The workflow

From schedule import to wheels rolling.

Upload the schedule you already have. RoadGame handles vendor outreach, tracks every reply, surfaces what’s at risk, and keeps coaches informed — with a full record of every trip.

  1. 1
    T–7 days · Monday
    Import your schedule.
    Drop in a CSV from Arbiter, rSchoolToday, or a Google Sheet. RoadGame reads the week, figures out capacity needs, and stages each trip — ready for you to review before anything goes out.
  2. 2
    T–5 days · Wednesday
    Vendors get a clear request — no login.
    One-click requests go out by email and SMS. Each vendor gets a magic link to confirm, decline, or counter-offer. No portal account, no app. Most replies take under a minute.
  3. 3
    T–24 hours · Thursday
    See what’s at risk — ranked.
    Trips still missing a confirmation, driver, or enough seats show up in Threats, sorted by urgency. Fix the three that matter tonight, not all forty.
  4. 4
    Game day · Friday
    Coaches get the right text at the right time.
    Pickup confirmed. Bus number. Driver name and phone. ETA. Coaches can reply STOP or HELP. Every message is logged so you know it landed.
  5. 5
    After the whistle
    Every trip leaves a paper trail.
    Full audit history per trip — who was asked, who replied, what changed, when coaches were notified. Vendor performance tracked season over season, so renewals run on evidence.

The schedule is the easy part. Making sure every team has a bus — and every coach knows which one — is the part that eats your week. RoadGame owns that loop.
