Big dates worth booking early

Dates the organiser has announced are shown plainly. Expected dates are worked out from past years and set by the calendar ones from the calendar (Mardi Gras is 47 days before Easter); provisional ones come from a source other than the organiser. Date not announced means the organiser hasn't said yet; date not listed yet means we haven't found it. Check the official site before you book. Listed by date, never paid for.

Step 3: Status (confirmed or not)?Confirmed: date and time match the official source (team, venue, organizer or their ticketing page) and we say when we last checked. Unconfirmed: we found it but have not yet confirmed the date or time — it is labelled on the card. Everything shows both.

Step 4: Sort (order within each day)?Time: earliest start first within each day, unknown times last. Type: grouped by type in the order of the filter list, then by time. Order is never paid for.

Step 5: List (how much to show)?Everything: the full list for the chosen days (the default). Short: up to 4 of each type per day, confirmed first, then earliest start, with an “All →” link on each type. Choosing a sort order switches to Everything; dropping or adding types works in either.
