==== Sked training and use ====
If a team has a Sked and they opt to keep it, they should learn how to use it. PBEM does not offer regular Sked training, though it is possible to provide on request and as resources allow. Skedco, the manufacturer of Sked rescue systems, has a user manual available for download at the top of this article.
