Gary, I'm confused by the two sign up times for Sundays beginning later this month. 4:00 and 5:00? Thought I'd better ask before we end up with up to 24 people signed up for the same day.

Hello Warren PB Players,

As many of you have noticed there has been a great deal of interest in playing this winter. This has resulted in reaching, or on occasions, exceeding the 12-player limit for our play times. The 12-player limit is in place to minimize the amount of waiting between playing and works well.

As a result of the additional interest, I have been working with the Warren School to expand the times and days that we can play. I have gotten approval for additional play time, and I will be adding these new times to the schedule for play on Wednesday evening at 5:30 and an earlier play time on Sunday at 1:45-3:45 with the next group starting at 4:00-6:00.

The cost for the 3 days of play we had was $25 per person for the entire winter. These additional play times will add $15 to the cost. If you have not yet paid for the winter, it is now $40. If you have paid the $25 thank you! If you could please bring an additional $15 for the added play that would be greatly appreciated. You can give your money to Jessica at one of the play sessions. Finally, we are charging guests $5 for indoor play.

The goal of the added play time is not so that everyone can get an extra play session in each week but to allow more people the opportunity to play. With that in mind please only sign up for 2 weekday sessions each week and one on Sunday. We will have to see how this works and may need to adjust if we are still having issues with getting people into a play session. Finally, if you want to play in additional sessions, you may do so if there is still space (fewer than 12 players) 5 hours before the start of a play session. So if you have signed up for Tuesday and Wednesday you may sign-up for Thursday if there is still room at 12:30PM on Thursday.

I hope this all makes sense and that with the added play times we can minimize players not having the opportunity to play during the week.

Gary,
Maybe look into the “Pro Package” on Playerlineup? It allows you to cap the number of participants who can sign IN. I think is costs $8.89 per month.

FAQ on Playerlineup:
Is there any way I can limit the number of participants at an event?
Yes there is. Setting the maximum number of participants is a Pro Package feature, as is the ability to set sign-up deadlines. If your team has subscribed to the Pro Package you can add the maximum number of participants when creating the event or you can add it later on the event's page.

Thanks Susan we have discussed that and may go that direction depending on how things work out with the additional dates.

Hi, I am confused about how the sign up system works…I signed up when it was well below 12. Now it shows 13 and two of the sign ups have a “2” next to their name. Does this mean there are 15 players signed up for Sunday 1/28? Does the system track the time when someone signed up and the first twelve are in? Thx!

Jane

Got it, thanks!

Mark - I had the Player lineup system send an email to all registered players. Maybe it went in your spam folder?? Glad you caught it and did not drive to Warren to play tonight.
