Setting Up Reminders

Setting up reminders is a bit tricky. You’ll have to copy each event (football match) to your calendar and then edit event details to set reminders.

Once I copied the above event to my calendar, I could edit event details and add reminders. I wasn’t able to find a way out of doing it at once for all the events in the series, or copying the entire calendar to one of my calendars. If you know of such a method, do share it in the comments.
