What it does

Every season: cricket grounds and clubs in your cities, with phone and rating, kept in the league’s Google Sheet for fixtures and umpire travel.

In one sentence: Monthly on the 1st at 08:00, in Karachi and Lahore, find cricket grounds, cricket clubs and sports clubs in the area, remove duplicates, then add row in Google Sheets, email the list to you and show them on a map.

Why it is useful

Fixtures and umpire travel need a current list of grounds. The league keeps one without effort.

The time it saves

Monthly on the 1st at 08:00. Doing the same work by hand takes about 45 minutes each time; it runs about 1 time a month, so it saves about 1 hours a month (an estimate). It is medium: 7 blocks.
