Most of these offerings are built into our site itself. The Player Profiles are currently being developed in-site as well, but for now are available in a Google Drive folder to enable interaction.

For the ones that are currently in Google Spreadsheets, we’ll need to manually add your access. Access will be granted ASAP, but will be targeted to be executed no later than the end of the day you pay, or by noon the next day if your purchase is done overnight. If that access is granted later on, for whatever reason, your clock on access to that folder will start at that point in time.
