AI Auto Scheduler
AI-driven scheduling that keeps every receiver productive, every zone intentional, and every shift focused on service instead of manual channel chasing.
Auto Scheduler ingests SportsQ daily event availability, computes valid DirecTV matches within the location's subscribed package, and places events using a weighted algorithm tuned for live venue operations.
The scheduler evaluates audio-eligible sources, home-team and league priority, event rating, receiver availability, and active business rules to produce non-conflicting assignments throughout the day.
- Prevents duplicate receiver-channel assignments so two receivers are not left burning the same event feed at the same time.
- Generates approved completion routing and transitions based on live status, not only estimated end times, to avoid dead screens after overtime delays.
- Uses fast pollers for start detection, halftime windows, UFC walkout handling, and event completion actions with real-time correction behavior.
- Supports automated audio pivots: switch to house music during halftime or walkouts, then automatically restore event audio at resume.
- Includes operator controls such as DirecTV remote override behavior. If override is disabled, channels auto-return to scheduler assignments.
- Offers owner/operator tuning for league priority, team handling, channel exclusions, source protection, and completion-channel policy strategy.
