How can I get a RSS feed of Referee Alerts?
RSS Feed
RSS feed is a means where individuals can request information and get updates from a website without having to constantly visit the website. The individual "subscribes" to obtain the information. The individual requests the information from the website, which works better than the website sending information out (as in via automated emails).
Referees can subscribe to have the information displayed in many different means, including
- Email client programs
- Cell phone applications
- Website / browser
Referees need to install an RSS Reader on their device / browser.
