If your tournament director texted you a link that starts with setourney.app.link, you've probably already tried the obvious thing: paste it into your calendar app and hope. It doesn't work, and it's not you doing something wrong — that link is a share link to a webpage, not a calendar feed, and no calendar app on earth can subscribe to it.
SportsEngine Tourney — the tournament-bracket product behind those texts, commonly called Tourney Machine — has never published an iCal or webcal feed for tournament brackets. There is genuinely no "export" button hiding in a menu somewhere; we checked. So we built the only thing that actually solves this: Schedule Caddie reads the bracket page itself and turns it into a calendar, then keeps re-checking it as pool play results roll in and the bracket reshuffles into elimination rounds.
Find the tournament link your team manager sent. It usually arrives by text or group chat and starts with setourney.app.link, or leads to a tourneymachine.com page — either points to the same underlying bracket.
Copy the link. Just the URL itself, exactly as it was shared — no need to open it first.
Paste it into Schedule Caddie. Schedule Caddie recognizes it's a Tourney Machine bracket, reads your team's games off the page, and builds a calendar feed from it — something no calendar app can do with the raw link alone.
Calendar apps subscribe to calendar files — a specific, structured data format (iCal/webcal) that lists start times, locations, and titles. A Tourney Machine share link is a webpage designed for a browser: brackets, pool standings, and game cards meant to be read by a person, not parsed by a calendar app. There's no toggle or hidden menu that turns one into the other, on either side — no calendar app can request calendar data from a page that never offers any.
I pasted the tournament link into Google/Apple Calendar and got an error
That's expected — the link is a webpage, not a calendar feed, so calendar apps can't parse it. Paste the same link into Schedule Caddie instead; it reads the bracket directly rather than expecting a calendar file.
My team hasn't been placed in pool play yet — will Schedule Caddie still work?
Yes. Schedule Caddie re-checks the bracket on its regular daily sync, so games appear on your calendar once that sync runs — and if you don't want to wait, tapping Sync Now refreshes it immediately. Either way, it updates again as pool play resolves into elimination rounds.
Because it isn't a calendar file — it's a link to a bracket webpage. Calendar apps like Apple Calendar, Google Calendar, and Outlook can only subscribe to actual calendar feeds (.ics/webcal data), and SportsEngine Tourney doesn't produce one for share links. Schedule Caddie is built specifically to bridge that gap.
Yes — Schedule Caddie re-checks the bracket page on its daily automatic sync, picking up pool-play results and elimination-round times as they're posted. On game day, or anytime you want the latest, tap Sync Now for an instant refresh instead of waiting for the next scheduled sync.
Same answer: Schedule Caddie re-syncs from the live bracket page, so a rescheduled game updates on your calendar the same way any other schedule change would, with an alert.
This guide is for SportsEngine Tourney (Tourney Machine) brackets — the ones shared via setourney.app.link or tourneymachine.com. It's the only bracket format Schedule Caddie currently reads this way.
