LINK YOUR HOME PAGE TO HIGHSCHOOLSPORTS.NET
Our HighSchoolSports.Net users already have the advantage of posting their schedules and scores to the Internet instantly and dynamically with, literally, the click of a button.
For schools with their own Internet home pages, HighSchoolSports.Net adds a level of convenience for the webmaster as well as the Athletic Director. Instead of tracking down your webmaster every single time you need to make a scheduling change on the home page (and see them run from you when bad weather hits!), you can just click a button to update your schedule.
Several schools have taken this advantage one step further by creating a link from their regular home page to their schedules on HighSchoolSports.Net.
A tech note with specific instructions is available on our site in the Documentation section of our Tech Support page. Go to:
http://www.schedulestar.com/PDF/link_hss.pdf
Since HighSchoolSports.Net runs on our own dedicated server with a high-speed T3 Internet connection, the jump from your school's page to our site is virtually transparent, with no banners or ads to slow you down or clutter up your schedule. You can even bypass the state and school selection screens by linking directly to YOUR schedules.
A selection of graphical banners and buttons are also available for downloading at:
http://www.schedulestar.com/graphics.htm
Feel free to use one or more of these graphics on your home page as links to HighSchoolSports.Net.
Don't double your work by uploading to HighSchoolSports.Net AND maintaining schedules on your school's home page. Let HighSchoolSports.Net do both. The link from your home page to the school will only take a few minutes to set up, but it will save both you and your webmaster hours.

SUPPORT - IT'S ALWAYS AVAILABLE
Our support hours are ALWAYS 24 hours per day, seven days per week... every day of the year. Our commitment to you is a call back within one hour during busy periods and holidays.
After our normal business hours, our support line is forwarded to a cellular telephone. We will answer your call, and call you back to answer your questions. Occasionally, you will receive a recorded message. If that happens, we are probably on the phone with another client, and will get
back to you within the hour.
Our support puts you through to someone who is knowledgeable about Athletic Scheduling as well as computers. Over 70% of our calls regard methodology, and nearly 100% of our after-hours calls have more to do with Athletic Administration than computers.
Tech support is ALWAYS available, at no extra charge. While our competitors are charging in excess of $30.00 per call or up to $120 PER YEAR for tech support service, Schedule Star's tech support has ALWAYS been available at no extra cost. That's because, quite simply, tech support is part of the total Schedule Star software package, and an important part of our commitment to save you time.

Comments? Suggestions? E-mail Us
The most important source of input regarding changes and improvements to Schedule Star is you, the user. We estimate about 90% of the improvements made to Schedule Star for Version 4.1 arose from user feedback.
We want to hear your comments, suggestions, criticisms, and advice so we can incorporate the features YOU want into Schedule Star. Tell us how you are using Schedule Star. Tell us what you like, what you don't like, and what you'd like to see added. We keep a running "Wish List" of every idea. Even if we can't make a change right away, it's something we can possibly incorporate into a future version.
Drop an email in our "Suggestion Box" at ideas@schedulestar.com
