Football Squares Playing Blog

Sometimes a Host really needs to get a message to players. Maybe there’s an issue with points settlement or how to collect winnings. Sometimes players need a little reminder that a deadline is fast approaching.

It has always been possible to send an email to players, but not necessarily very easy. Well, we’ve fixed that now.

As of this month, any Host can send a quick message to either of two groups of players:

• All players who have claimed a square on a  pot
• Everyone on a list of players

Sending a message pot players is accomplished with a link on the Host’s view of the pot page. Just below the playing board, a “Send email” link appears under the “Active Players” group of features. Click that and the rest is easy.

Sending a message to an entire a players list is accomplished by viewing the list. The system displays the emails of everyone on the list. Just below that listing appears the “Send email” link. Click that link and the rest is simple.

As usual, everything you need to know about these new features is explained in its own “How do I…?” topic: “How do I…email players?” http://footballpot.com/HowDoI/emailplayers.html

Now, if you want to remind everyone to wear the team’s colors to watch the game at Harry’s - it’s  snap!
