The event is a dependent event because for scheduling, it depends upon scheduling information of the master event. The method further includes scheduling the master event for a facility and indicating those dependent events which are to be scheduled at the facility and other facilities for a scheduled date. The scheduler system comprising a database for storing athletic events information, an events scheduler capable of electronically receiving new events, or event definition that associates a particular athletic event with at least a parent event.
