Subscribe vs One-Time Import

Subscribe (Recommended)

• Calendar stays updated automatically
• Changes in MatchGrid appear in your calendar
• No manual re-importing needed

One-Time Import

• Downloads current schedule as a snapshot
• Won’t update when changes are made
• Useful for archiving or offline use

[!TIP] Always use Subscribe for active seasons so you don’t miss schedule changes.

Troubleshooting Sync Issues

Calendar not updating?

• Check the refresh interval in your calendar app
• Google Calendar may take up to 24 hours to refresh
• Try removing and re-adding the subscription

Events showing wrong time?

• Verify your calendar app’s time zone setting
• Check the event time zone in MatchGrid

Too many events?

• Subscribe to specific team calendars instead of the full season
• Filter by division or date range

[!INFO] Calendar subscriptions are read-only. Changes must be made in MatchGrid, not your calendar app.
