I see. I was hoping to not have to do a complete new grab all the time
though, my hope was to limit it to just the next few days for
scheduling purposes, and also because for most sports TBA's they
usually don't get filled in until just a few days before anyway. It
sounds though like doing a complete pull is less stress on the
schedulesdirect server than requesting a few specific days?
