1) Adult assignments
The planner looks at timing, likely conflicts, and your saved preferences to suggest which adult should handle each event. If you manually set an assignment, that choice is respected.
2) Travel and arrival timing
Travel times and arrival buffers are used to estimate when an adult should leave. This helps catch tight back-to-back situations before they become stressful.
3) Plan status and refresh
Plans start as draft and become confirmed once you approve them. The plan becomes stale when upstream schedule inputs change (for example a team calendar refresh, unsubscribe, or related family settings changes).
In-plan edits like assignment overrides, ignore/restore, and manual event edits update the current plan directly and do not mark the plan stale by themselves.
If a confirmed plan is refreshed, Sports Planner warns you first. Continuing creates a new draft snapshot for that weekend.
Think of warnings as early heads-up notes, not failures. They give you time to adjust before the weekend starts.
