Why scheduling this is hard
Debaters have packed class loads and part-time jobs.
Practice partners need overlapping free blocks for drills and rounds.
Tournament weekends keep shifting when the team can meet.
How the poll works

Why Timespree fits
Find overlapping free blocks
The grid shows where partners share time for drills and practice rounds.
One link for the squad
Novices and varsity mark availability from the same link, no accounts.
Reshuffle around tournaments
Spin up a new poll each week when the tournament calendar changes.
Organizer email alerts
The captain gets an email as debaters respond, so nudges are easy.
A real example
A policy debate team needs prep sessions before a Saturday tournament. The captain shares a Timespree poll for the week; Aisha, Marcus, and their partners mark free evenings. Tuesday and Thursday at 7pm show the most overlap, so those become the drill nights.
Frequently asked questions
- How do partners find shared practice time?
- Both debaters shade the hours they are free and the grid shows where their blocks overlap. The darkest cells mark the times the most partners can drill, so you schedule practice rounds without trading dozens of texts.
- Can we schedule prep the week of a tournament?
- Yes. Create a fresh poll for that week, have the squad mark availability, and lock in the evenings with the most overlap before the tournament, no sign-up needed to respond.
- Does the captain get notified of responses?
- Yes. The organizer receives email notifications as debaters mark their availability, so it is easy to see who still needs to reply and send a reminder.
