How to Use

Add to Google Calendar

  • The Calendar is publically available here. Simply click this link and tap yes on the popup for Add to Calendar.
  • Alternatively, you can also add the calendar by visiting the demo and then using the + sign at the bottom right of calendar to add to your calendar.

Once added, it will sync all contests periodically. You are done.

If you still can’t see the events, or the calendar in your google calendar android app, this is because, new Calendars are sometimes hidden by default in the Calendar App. To make it visible, go to settings in the calendar app. You’ll see a show more button under your id which you used to add the calendar. Tap it, select Codechef Contest Calendar and turn the sync on.

Calendar will now show in your main calendar. If you want to hide it at any point of time, open the side menu and simply unset the checkbox in front of the calendar.
