Works like a charm! Great initiative! I suggest allowing number of sheets to be a "sticky" setting. Currently it resets for each new schedule. The number of sheets won't change for a club, but a club will be making many schedules for leagues with differing numbers of teams. Also, it took me some experimenting to figure out how to change the slider using the arrow keys rather than dragging it (I'm terrible at dragging little sliders a little distance): I have to ask why the slider at all? The number of teams and sheets is discreet, not a sliding scale. The keystrokes/actions to select the slider and drag/arrow it is at least double of just typing a number into a box.

Good point. I think it's probably easier to just copy an existing schedule if you want to retain the same teams and sheets (and packing) settings for now. We chose 8x4 as the default since that's the most common. We aren't currently saving user specific settings (and this is all local device persistence, nothing is server side currently).
Good point about the sliders. I just always pictured it as sliders in my head, but I think you're right that drop downs are easier. It's not like people are going to be realistically sliding these back and forth a bunch of times.
