What’s Included in Calendar Events

Each game assignment appears as a calendar event with:

  • Event Title: Division, teams, and “via Blue” identifier
  • Date & Time: Scheduled game time with 2-hour duration
  • Location: Venue address for easy navigation
  • Notes: League name, matchup, and full crew assignments

Unconfirmed assignments are prefixed with [Unconfirmed] so you can easily identify games that need your confirmation.

Automatic Updates

Calendar subscriptions automatically refresh:

  • Your calendar app periodically checks for updates (usually every few hours)
  • New assignments appear automatically
  • Cancelled games are removed
  • Crew changes are reflected in the notes
