OGF put out their silly excel spreadsheet for Origins Events. I don't understand it.
Can any of the organizers on the CDT put up a confirmed schedule? A brutha needs to make plans.

Looks to be sorted by event numbers, which seem to be assigned first by event type (Minis, RPGs, etc.), then by host group (CDT, etc.), then by event title (kinda), then by time.
Event starting time is listed in column F of the sheet. All the Catalyst RP events are scheduled for 4-hour slots with an hour break between. Basic schedule has slots starting 1200/1700 Wed (3 June), 0800/1300/1600 Thur-Sat (4-6 June), and 0800/1000 Sun (7 June), so you could play 12 games if you wanted (2 Wed, 3 Thur, 3 Fri, 3 Sat, 1 Sun).
The Catalyst RP schedule starts with event #6281 (line 3352 of the spreadsheet):
CMP 2012-01 through -04 (London Falling)
CMP 2014-01, first of the Boundless Mercy arc from last year, offered only once.
CMP 2015-01 through -04 (Tennessee Suite), which debut at Origins.
All the season 5 SRMs except Critic's Choice (05-02) (Not sure why that one got left out other than maybe just an error during event submission, but each of these is offered only once.)
All the season 5 SRMs, including the last two which debut at Origins this year: SRM 06-05 Healing the Sick and SRM 06-06 Falling Angels (written by me)
A whole bunch of Into the Shadows and The First Taste, which replace the old Welcome to the Sixth World event (Into the Shadows is chargen, First Taste is a mini-mission.)
After the Gravastar arc (Cosmic Patrol) and the Unity arc (Valiant RPG) we have the first Prime Mission: PM-01 Killing Pawn. (Be careful. As I understand the prime runner rules and the Missions FAQ, playing a PM makes your character a prime runner, and prime runners are ineligible for regular Missions play. But it's the only way to play your old characters from Seasons 2-4.)

Thanks, Doc. I don't know why they used that silly PDF.
On another note, I'm really enjoying the "101 Series" you and Tim have been doing on Critical Glitch.

Thanks!
Oddly, the spreadsheet introduces one piece of functionality that perhaps is harder to achieve in an online search engine. Once you download the spreadsheet, you can delete all the stuff you don't want to play (or copy the stuff you do want to play onto a blank sheet), then sort by start time. That may help a bit with scheduling. I recall having to keep open multiple tabs on the Gen Con event site to get similar functionality.

Spreadsheet from Origins sorted and in date/time order for your convenience and attached as PDF. I still have to go through it to make sure it reflects what I scheduled...but it looks like it's all good from the times I've glanced at it.
No clue why I didn't schedule SRM 05-02, but scheduled CMP 2014-01...my mistake, but I'm not going back to change it at this point.

Is there a Shadowrun Missions Scramble this year?

I'm hoping to play more of the SRMs than the CMPs. The Tennessee CMPs are premiering there and I want to play those.

The SR LARP event is only at Gen Con this year. My understanding is that the Origins LARP never gained enough popularity to justify taking 8 GMs who could otherwise be running tables (plus the time, effort, and resources used in planning and running the event).

You are correct.
