Seamless Integration to Your Website

Through the use of HTML "Frames", you can have your pool website appear to be located at your own website domain. In reality, the pool remains on the sportsfan.com server, but the people in your pool will access the pool website by going to your domain rather than sportsfan.com. Don't believe it? Try the example below.

Example
For this example, assume you are the owner of the website "www.pickempool.net". You would like to use the sportsfan.com college hoops website service to run your pool, but you want it to be located at your pickempool.net website. To do this, you would upload a single file to pickempool.net which essentially causes the sportsfan.com website to be viewable through the pickempool.net page.

When it comes time to start the pool, simply instruct your players to go to your pickempool.net website to play in the pool. They never need to know that the website is actually being hosted elsewhere.

See it in action: the demo pool website at http://demo.hoops.sportsfan.com can also be accessed by visiting http://pickempool.net. The same pool website is visible simultaneously through both web addresses although the pool itself is only physically located on the sportsfan.com server.

The Code
The short code required to create this effect is include via the "Admin" menu of the pool website. Simple paste the code into a new file called "index.html" in your pool directory at your own website.

Requirements & Warning
You must have access to your website files and you must know how to upload files to your website. Contcact your website host for instructions. To prevent accidentally deleting important files at your website, be sure to make backup copies of your existing website files before starting (especially the "index.html" file you will be replacing).
