What changes
A member who wants a game posts when they are free: a time, or a stretch like 4pm to 8pm. Clayside offers it to other members, in the app and on their phone, and the first to say yes takes it. Whoever takes it picks the start time.
A friendly or a ladder match. A friendly records nothing: no score, no rating. A ladder match is offered to everybody the ladder lets you play, and the score goes on the ladder as usual.
Who is asked. Members around your level first, then a little further out, or anyone at the club, or people you pick yourself. Nobody is shown a level, and nobody sees who else was asked.
A four that is one short. Say how many places you need and who is already playing. When the last place goes, everybody else’s offer disappears.
Can’t make it? A member who drops out can offer their place around the others’ level, and the rest of the four hear when it is filled.
Who is never asked. Juniors, members who have left, anybody with no sign-in, and anybody who has switched on Don’t ask me for games. Nobody is asked more than a few times a day, and it never comes by email.
Where to find it
Play, then Games. Each member’s Don’t ask me for games switch is on Games and on You.
