Can a parent take several games?

Yes. They can pick as many as they like in one go, unless you turn on “One sign-up each”.

What if a parent can't make their game?

They cancel from the link in their confirmation email, and the place opens up again. If you left your email, it's in that day's 6 pm summary.

Can I message everyone who's signed up?

Yes. “Tell people something” on your private link emails every parent who left an address. You can send one an hour.

How to set it up

Put in the gamesIt starts with eight Sundays at 2:00 pm, two parents each. Change each row's date and times to your schedule, and take off away games if the other team keeps score.
Say what the job isPut what each role does in the description, and when to get to the table before the start.
Send the linkShare it with the team's families. Nobody needs an account, and each parent who leaves an email gets their games in their calendar.
Train the first fewUse “Tell people something” to send everyone a how-to before the first game, or ask an experienced parent to take the first one.

What helps

Pair someone new with someone who has done it before. Two at the table makes the first game much less nerve-wracking.
A one-page cheat sheet for the scorebook, kept in the team bag, saves a lot of questions.
If you want every family to take a turn, turn on “One sign-up each” until each has one, then turn it off.
Families who leave an email get the game's time in their calendar, which is better than any reminder.

Something to send with the link

Copy it into a text, an email or the group chat, change what you like, and paste your link at the end.
