Setting Up Custom Reminders with iCal

On Apple devices, subscribed calendars use your Default Alert Times. The catch: the alert is applied when you subscribe, so the cleanest approach is to set your default first, then re-subscribe.

iPhone & iPad

1. Open the Settings app
2. Scroll to Apps → Calendar (on older iOS, Settings → Calendar)
3. Tap Default Alert Times
4. Tap Events and choose when you want to be alerted (e.g., 2 hours before)
5. If your ASM calendar is already subscribed, remove it and re-add it (see the sync guide) so it picks up the new default
6. Make sure the subscription's Remove Alerts option is turned off (Settings → Calendar → Accounts → your ASM subscription)

Mac (macOS Calendar)

1. Open the Calendar app
2. Right-click (or Control-click) your ASM Schedule calendar in the sidebar → Get Info
3. Set a default alert (e.g., "2 hours before") and click OK

Tip: You can also set global defaults under Calendar → Settings → Alerts, then choose your ASM account.

Google lets you set reminders that apply to your entire subscribed ASM calendar. This must be done on the web — the mobile app doesn't expose these settings.

1. On a computer, open Google Calendar
2. In the left sidebar, hover over your ASM Schedule calendar (under "Other calendars") and click the ⋮ (three dots) → Settings
3. Scroll to the Other notifications / event notifications section
4. Click Add notification and choose your lead time (e.g., 2 hours before)
5. The setting saves automatically and applies to all events in that calendar

Your reminders will then sync to all your devices, including your Android phone.

Note: You can't change reminders on individual events in a subscribed calendar — but the calendar-wide notification above covers every ASM game and deadline.

New Outlook & Outlook on the Web

1. Open Outlook Calendar
2. Click the gear icon (Settings) → Calendar → Events and invitations
3. Under Events you create / default reminder, set your preferred reminder time (e.g., 2 hours before)
4. Save — this default applies to your calendar events, including your subscribed ASM feed

Outlook Desktop (Windows)

1. Open Outlook and go to File → Options → Calendar
2. Under Calendar options, make sure Default reminders is checked and set your preferred time
3. Click OK

Note: The Outlook mobile app doesn't let you set default reminders, but it respects the defaults you set on the web or desktop.

• On Apple, make sure you set the Default Alert Time before subscribing — existing subscriptions keep their original (often "None") alert. Re-subscribe to apply the new default.
• Check that the calendar's alerts aren't being suppressed (Apple's Remove Alerts toggle off; notifications enabled for your Calendar app).
• On Google, confirm you added the notification on the web, on the ASM calendar specifically (not your primary calendar).

• This is almost always a timezone mismatch. ASM events use the timezone set in your ASM profile — make sure it matches your actual location.
• Check your calendar app's timezone settings as well.

• Lower the number of default alerts (e.g., keep just one "2 hours before" instead of multiple).
• On Apple, you may have a global default and a per-calendar default stacking — set the alert in just one place.
