Travel sports shouldn't feel like a second full-time job
You pay $4,000+ per season in club dues, yet tournament directors still publish schedules like it's 2004.
The Late, Crooked Bracket Drop
Tournament directors post pool brackets on Thursday night at 9:15 PM as a low-res JPG or broken link. You're left squinting at phone screens, manually keying times into family calendars, and calculating arrival buffers by hand.
The 42-Minute Digestive Trap
Game 1 ends at 11:45 AM. Game 2 starts at 12:30 PM. Do you feed them a turkey sub and risk mid-game stomach cramps, or give them pretzels and watch them run out of gas in the third set? Guesswork destroys athletic performance.
The 6:30 AM Grocery Scramble
Arriving at an unfamiliar convention center hotel with no groceries means paying $14 for stale concession nachos or driving 25 minutes out of your way to find an open grocery store before the first morning whistle.
Three engines that do the Thursday-night work for you
Instant Multimodal Bracket Ingestion
Drop any bracket screenshot, AES grid, photo of a physical gym whiteboard, or Tourney Machine schedule link. Our custom sports-tuned vision AI extracts tournament names, pool seeds, match times, court numbers, and opponents in under 10 seconds. Even handles distorted mobile photos taken at bad angles.

Rest-Gap Digestive Fueling Schedules
Weekend Sidekick automatically calculates the minutes between your matches and applies verified youth sports nutrition protocols. It schedules high-complex carb pre-game meals 3 hours prior, fast-acting glycogen primers 45 minutes prior, and rapid 3:1 carb-to-protein recovery snacks immediately after matches. No sports science degree needed.
Hotel Cooler Logistics & 1-Tap Curbside Pickup
Tell the engine if your hotel room has a mini-fridge, microwave, or cooler ice only. It instantly builds a personalized cooler packing list and pre-populates an Instacart or Walmart Curbside cart at the grocery store closest to your tournament venue. Pick up on your way to the hotel.

The people running the sideline table
"Before Weekend Sidekick, every Thursday night was a nightmare of Google Sheets and group texts trying to figure out when the girls played and what snacks we needed. Now I drop the AES bracket screenshot into the app, and in 10 seconds my GroupMe update and Walmart curbside grocery cart are finished. It saved my sanity."
Elevation VBC 15-National (Denver, CO)
"The digestive timing engine is pure gold. We used to have boys throwing up in the dugout because parents bought them burgers between double-headers. Weekend Sidekick told parents exactly what snacks to hand out for a 45-minute turnaround. We went 5-0 on Sunday."
Midwest Dirtbags 12U (Indianapolis, IN)
"The hotel constraint toggle is brilliant. We stayed at a hotel with zero microwaves, and Weekend Sidekick automatically removed microwave rice cups and rebuilt our cooler plan with cold-chain wraps and squeeze pouches. It's an essential travel sports tool."
SoCal Surf 2011 Girls ECNL (San Diego, CA)
Cheaper than one concession stand lunch run
One club season runs $3,000–$13,000. A weekend of stale nachos and wasted grocery trips costs more than a season pass.

Questions from the sideline table
Yes. Weekend Sidekick doesn't rely on fragile API integrations. You can upload screenshots or photos from Tourney Machine, AES (Advanced Event Systems), GotSport, SportsEngine, exposure brackets, or even physical paper brackets taped to a gymnasium wall.
