Master the art of scheduling with our comprehensive guide to building running orders that minimize dwell time and maximize efficiency.
Compz's auto-build feature uses advanced algorithms to create an optimized running order automatically. It considers:
Set start and end times for each day of your competition. The auto-builder will fit sections within these windows.

Keep similar categories and levels together. Parents appreciate not having to wait hours between their child's routines.
Place lunch around 12:00-13:00 and dinner around 17:00-18:00. Avoid breaks right before or after small sections.
For multi-day competitions, try to balance the number of sections and total duration across days.
Publish your programme at least 1 week before the competition so parents can plan their day and arrange childcare if needed.
