Clayside  ·  The guide  ·  Being asked to play

I have been asked to play. What now?

Yes, no or maybe, in the app or straight out of the email.

Answering

Nothing about it is binding. A yes is not a promise and a no is not held against you. Change your mind as often as you like, right up to the day.

The email opens your fixtures with no sign-in to get through, so it works on any phone. A fixture link in the group chat does the same. Maybe is a real answer: it tells your captain you are close to free.

If you are picked

The team sheet says where to be: the side, the day and the meeting time if there is one. Once you are picked or have said yes, the fixture has Add to calendar on it. See Your calendar.

Reserve means you are not on the sheet and somebody might still drop out. Keep the day free if you can.

You can be picked whether or not you were asked. Captains ring round on the Friday, and that is a normal week. If the fixture moves or is called off, everybody picked is told.

What you can see

Every member sees the fixtures and the team sheet, and how many people can play. Only whoever runs the side sees who said what, so your no is not on a list anybody else reads.

Your own record says what you played and won for which side, on your own screen.
