Don't know if it's been mentioned or not...but, how about group specific scheduling?
Been messing around with how to group fighters in terms of rankings. I like to have the top 50% ranked fighters in what I call Tier 1 and fight 10 rounds in the auto scheduler, and manually alter the title fight to 15 rounds. The next 25% fight 8 rounders in Tier 2. Then the last 25% I put in Tier 3, fighting rookies, trial rookies (adding another 50% to a given rookie class), and unranked fighters in Tier 4 over 6 rounds.
If there are more fighters in Tier 4 than in Tier 3, then I randomly draw fighters into the third tier until the tiers are equal or Tier 3 has one more.
It would be easier to have the auto scheduler remember the rules for each group than to modify things as I move around the groups...
