I noticed the PyPA sprints showing up in my calendar and
wondered how they ended up there :-)

If you look at the sprints page, there are only around 20-30
sprinters noted. That's how much we get at our user group
sprints. To get such user group sprints more attention,
it makes sense to add them as full day events. That way they
show up more prominently in the calendars.
For example. I always add DjangoGirls or similar workshop events
that way, rather than putting in the exact times as I do for
user group meetings.

Thanks, Sergey. The guidelines are pretty straight forward
I believe, but you're right that it does take some getting used
to and there are cases where it's not clear where to draw the
line.
If in doubt, simply ask on the mailing list. You can also
ping me on Telegram @malemburg.
Thanks again for your help.
Cheers,
