Help for
Reminders by Email

Email Address Must be a correctly formated email address, similar to:

        xxx@yyy.com   or   abcd@hockey.org
Reminder Notification Leadtime This indicates how many days in advance you wish to receive your reminder. If you want a reminder on Tuesday for a game on Wednesday, then you should select a leadtime of 1, for example.
What will the Reminder Look Like? The message will be short, to accomodate text messaging limits on cell phones. Example:
  From:           Lakers Reminders
  Subject:       Hockey Reminder
  Message:     Sq3 Prac on Wed, 12/17/2003 8:00 PM at LkAve
www.jblowell.com

Some cellular providers may insert additional control characters into the message.
When are Reminders Sent? In general, reminders will be sent once a day at 3:30am. You should see them when you check your email or phone messages later in the day. If a server malfunction prevents a reminder from being sent on the correct day, it will be sent on the following day, or as soon as possible
How many reminders will I receive?
Each reminder request you submit will generate only one reminder per game or practice. For example, if you ask for a 2 day leadtime, you will get a reminder two days before the event. You won't get a reminder the day before or the day of the event.

If you would like to get a reminder on every day that falls within a 2 day window, you should submit three separate reminder requests with leadtimes of 2, 1, and 0 days.
Multiple Reminders


You should submit a separate reminder request for each team, email address, and notification leadtime combination you wish to receive.
Why didn't I receive my reminder? You may have misspelled your email address. Try entering it again.
Or, the server may have been down unexpectedly at the time reminders were to have been sent. In this case, you should see your next reminder at the appropriate time.

Sometimes coaches will swap practices with another team, or the leagues will change the scheduled time for a game. Usually, the website Practice Schedule database will not have been updated for these last minute changes. As a result, no reminder will be sent.
