Coach load

In practice

Coach load surfaces wherever an academy allocates coaches: opening a new batch, promoting a student into an existing session, or building the term timetable. Every batch a coach teaches adds to the total, and the figure only means something once it accounts for preparation and post-session game review time, not just the hour spent in the room, since that hidden time is what actually limits how many batches one coach can carry well. Coach load sits next to batch, since it is a running sum of the hours a coach's batches consume, and next to attendance register, since a coach stretched thin is the one most likely to fall behind on marking sessions accurately or reviewing student games on schedule. Owners check coach load before opening a batch, before a mid-term promotion, and again at the monthly retention review, since an overloaded coach is a common cause of the slipping attendance and skipped homework that retention rate is built to catch. ChessCore keeps a running coach load figure per coach so a scheduling decision that looks fine on its own does not quietly overload the coach making it.
