FAQs ~ Byga

Adding an additional player contact (e.g., a parent or guardian) is done by someone with the permission to do so. This is typically an existing player contact, a team manager or a club admin. To do this, one of these users will need to follow these steps:

1. Login to their web-based Byga account
2. Go to the player’s profile (if you don’t see player, click on club logo then select the player)
3. Click on the +invite button.
4. Fill out the requested information. Only email is mandatory.
5. Optionally, you can reduce the player contact’s access level as noted below.

Access level: There are two levels of player access (player contact or player fan). For any contact that only needs player and team event information, you can click on the menu next to the player contact and select “Limit access.” This will change a “player contact” with full access to a “player fan” with limited access. A player contact with “full access” can limit access or provide full access to others. The specific access provided to player contacts with full access and player fan with limited access are defined by each club.

1. You should have received an email invite from your club to your email account. You may want to check your Spam folder.
2. If you believe you received an invite but can’t find the link, you can login to our club website at  https://utahavalanche.byga.net.
3. Enter your email and follow instructions.
4. If your account is not found, please contact your club administrator () to get an invitation to your Club’s Byga service.

Families can change credit card information by visiting their account invoice/payments tab, selecting the appropriate invoice, and successfully processing a payment using the new card information. Typically, Byga runs the charges late at night on the due date. A family needs to make this successful change before the auto-billing takes place. We provide an email notification about 48 hours before the auto charge — this email message also has a link to their invoice where the update can be made.

To update your payment information:

1. Login to Byga (https://utahavalanche.byga.net)
2. Click on your name in the top right corner
3. Click on Billing
4. Click on Invoice
5. Pay the next installment. You will have the ability to update the credit/debit card you are using

Availability and availability notes can be set and viewed on either the mobile or web Byga App.

On mobile, click on your player to set availability and availability notes.

Keep in mind that a selection is required to add a explanatory note.

On the web, first, click on your team to get to the team schedule.

In the team calendar, there is an availability tab. For their own player, a parent can indicate availability (yes or no) for each event that the manager / team-staff requested availability. Team-staff though may update availability for any player on the team.

Note events where availability has not been requested will not appear in the availability tab.

You can sync your Byga calendar to your Google calendar or Apple calendar. On the Byga mobile iOS app, to sync to your iOS calendar:

• Go to the calendar tab.
• Click on the export icon at the top left of the screen.
• Click on the Subscribe button (if part of multiple clubs, click on the sync link for the club you want to sync).
• Complete iOS calendar syncing by confirming Subscribe.

• Click on the export icon at the top left of the screen.
• Click on the “Instructions for subscribing in other calendars”

On the Byga web app:

• After you log in to your Byga web app, click on your club logo and then click on My Calendar. This will take you to your personal page with your combined calendar in case you have multiple teams.
• If logged in you can also go there by clicking on the Club logo on the top left to go to your dashboard page and click on “My Calendar.”
• Please click on the ‘Subscribe/Export’ button on the top right of your calendar. Either use the Subscribe/export button to open your calendar and subscribe or “copy subscription link” for import into your external calendar. If subscribing to Google Calendar, there is an additional article you may want to review.
• If you have multiple teams and only want to subscribe to one of the team calendars, go to the team calendar and follow step 2 above. Note: As with other apps, the sync process and change updates take time to be reflected on Google calendars (12-24 hours is typical for apps that syncs to Google calendar). The sync process with an iOS calendar is faster. In addition, in iOS the frequency of updates can be adjusted in iOS settings.

For example, with Gmail, select one of the emails and mark it as not spam. When selecting an email in the spam folder, Gmail should show a “Not Spam” button. This should identify future emails as valid, and correctly route to your email inbox.
