An independent, alternative way to find and schedule MTG events near you.
Every PlayIRL calendar feed can render its event descriptions through a template you write yourself — handy when a bot or automation on your end parses the description and expects an exact layout. Open Subscribe → Customize event details → Custom template anywhere on the site to edit yours with a live preview. The template is carried in your feed URL, so each calendar subscription keeps its own.
Write any text; wherever a {token} appears, the event's value is substituted:
| {title} | Event title |
| {venue} | Venue / store name |
| {address} | Street address |
| {date} | Start date (YYYY-MM-DD) |
| {time} | Start time (HH:MM) |
| {format} | e.g. Commander, Standard |
| {cost} | Entry fee, when known |
| {store_url} | Venue / store website |
| {event_url} | Link to the event listing |
| {description} | The host's blurb |
| {source} | Where we found the event |
Cost: {cost} simply vanishes on free events instead of leaving a bare label.+++ pass straight through.The starter template reproduces the feed's default description:
