Dear Club Member,
This season we've decided to manage team selection through a web-based service called Clubhouse. The idea is that a player can go online to state their availability for communication and then chat about the games once the teams have been selected through Clubhouse. This letter/email is just to let you know we plan to use it for the forthcoming games. To start using Clubhouse you can either check your email and follow the invitation I've sent out or simply go directly to the site and join the club on there.
When you first log-in Clubhouse will ask you for your personal details. Please fill these in so we have an up-to-date record. Do not worry, these details will not be passed to any third parties by Clubhouse, they are for our use only.
Once you've filled these in, click activate and you'll be logged in. From here you will be able to see a list of the upcoming games for the season and be able to mark yourself either available or unavailable for each game. As the season progresses please login as and when you know your availability. Clubhouse will remind you to come to the site as necessary. Each week it will send an email reminding you about the upcoming games.
Once selection has taken place you'll receive an email if you have been picked to play on the team. This email will direct you to the Clubhouse where you will be able to see the team and chat about the game. Clubhouse will then ask you if you can definitely play and you should confirm this. If for some reason you can't play, let a captain know ASAP.
Clubhouse does not rely on emails so members who do not regularly check their emails should not panic. The emails act as reminders only, and players can still use the system if they never check their email, as long as they simply visit Clubhouse once a week. However it is likely to be beneficial for all players to check their emails regularly to be reminded about selection matters, amongst other things.
So in summary:
- Go to your inbox or http://www.clubhouseapp.com to activate your account.
- Set availability on Clubhouse.
- Receive selection email.
- Come to Clubhouse to confirm, see meet time and rest of team.
- Play!
Kind regards,
Club Admin
P.S. Please check your email. Some free webmail clients e.g. hotmail may have put the invitation in the junk/spam folder so don't forget to check there...
