We're always looking to reduce the re-keying that you have to do, and we're very excited to announce a big way that we're helping this out.

Next week, you can tell our system to automatically upload your men's and women's basketball schedules to the NCAA statistics system. This works for both the initial upload and any changes to your schedule up until October 26th, when the NCAA shuts down schedule entry for basketball.

This feature is available to anyone who is on the PrestoSports Network. No matter how you have access to our Network — because of your conference score and statistics reporting, because you're using our live stats platform, because you're using PrestoSports Stats Entry, or of course because you have a website with us — you'll be able to save yourself time by letting us automatically update the NCAA for you.

Next week, this will be available for men's and women's basketball. In the future, we will be adding this for all sports where the NCAA collects individual game box scores. As was the case last year with statistics uploads, we'll be making improvements and changes based on your feedback and what can best help out the NCAA.

You can enable this automatic upload by starting in Game day and taking the following steps:

• Find the season you want to automatically upload schedules and statistics, and click "manage season"
• Choose the Stats tab, and then the Stat Partners feature.
• Here you will see whether your team is set up for NCAA schedule and statistics upload and when the schedule was last uploaded.
• To set it up for the first time or to make any changes, click "edit partners" on the right side. When you are done, press the Save button.

There are three times when we will upload your schedule to the NCAA:

• If you set up your NCAA password in the next week, you'll be part of the bulk schedule upload we make when we make this feature live next week.
• When you set your NCAA password, we will upload your schedule to the NCAA.
• Every night we will look if there have been any changes to your schedule, and if there are, we will upload your schedule to the NCAA.

The NCAA would like to make sure you sign into their system after your schedule has been uploaded to make sure all of the information is correct and to enter contact information.

This schedule upload is in one direction. If there are any changes to your schedule after you're set up for NCAA integration, you will need to make those edits in the PrestoSports Network so that they are not overwritten by any future changes. Your changes will be reflected the following day. After October 26th, you should email the NCAA with any schedule changes.

We have been developing this for the past two months and are very hopeful that this will save many NCAA members a lot of time and re-keying. We're working with the NCAA to see what more we can do to make their members' lives easier, and we'll be looking for your feedback on how we can improve this.
