The Office Staff for a Solo and Ensemble contest (or related event) has a comprehensive Main Menu (see image below) from which they can manage all aspects of a contest event. The actions are divided into logical groups for pre-contest setup, school and personnel management, and contest management for the day(s) of the event. All users of Solo-Ensemble.com have a Main Menu with a similar structure but different functions according to their role (Contest Staff, School Staff, Judges, Accompanists).

Contest Staff can create and manage scheduling time blocks called Sessions. Each Session can have many items assigned to it, such as a Room Number, a School, one or more Judges, Accompanists, or Contest Staff, or even general resources such as student volunteers or specialized equipment (such as a Marimba).
