Duty Roster Procedures?

My club has finally decided to implement a duty roster system for each
Saturday and Sunday operations. This has been a long time in coming
and we will be running a trial in September and October. I have taken
on the task of making this happen. I am interested in your inputs
about how your club successfully handles duty rosters.

- Do you have a procedures manual? Can I get a copy?
- Do you exempt some people like CFIGs and Tow Pilots? Who else?
- How do you form up the crews? Totally random?
- How big is each crew?
- What tasks does the crew handle?
- How do you handle scheduling?
- How do you handle full time students (real students, not glider
pilot students)?
- How do you handle crew scheduling conflicts and/or swapping of
dates?
- What are the crew work hours?
- Do you use any on line scheduling tool?

Any other comments that you might have will be helpful. Thank you in
advance for your comments and responses.
