Can a guest RSVP?
No. The email has to be on the roster. A visitor can still read the upcoming events.
Signup
Stop chasing golfers to find out who is playing.
The upcoming round has a page. Players who are on the roster get a link, say whether they are in, and you stop reconstructing the tee sheet from the thread.
Anyone can see the next round
The signup page shows upcoming events with no login. Each event shows its date, and can show the course, the start time, the buy-in, and how full it is.
Opening an event does not sign anyone up. The date, course, start time, room left, and any note from the organizer are visible before a player is authorized.
This is a weekly group's signup. It is not registration for a charity outing or a member-guest.
The link is the login
A player enters the email on the roster. If that address belongs to the group, Grey Tabby Golf sends a link. The message does not reveal whether an unknown address was on the list.
The player opens the link and then chooses yes, they are playing, or no, they are out. Playing also asks walk or ride for that event. If the roster already has a preference, it is filled in. The player can change it for this week. The roster preference stays what it was.
Saving records the answer. The link alone does not.
A returning player whose browser still has a valid remembered session can choose Playing or Not Playing and save without requesting another link. The session lasts 60 days. They can leave and come back, including after closing the browser. When the session is gone, they request a new link. A used invitation does not sign in a second person. There is no six-digit code.
Authorization is the magic link or the remembered session. That is what allows the RSVP to be saved. It does not depend on whether the Save control is shown, hidden, or disabled.
A player who is playing can add the round to Google Calendar or download an Apple or Outlook file. The time is the event's start, not a personal tee time. Out and waitlisted players do not see it.
Full means a waitlist
Each event has a capacity. The page can say how many spots are filled, and how many people are waiting when that number is not zero.
A yes after the event is full goes to the waitlist, with a place in line. The page says you are on the waitlist. When someone drops, the next waiting player moves into the field.
A saved change emails the roster address.
What you see as the organizer
You see who is playing, who is out, and who is waiting, with their notes. Pairings come from that list. You are not collecting replies in the side thread.
Questions
Can someone change an answer?
Yes, while signup is open, with the same link or a valid remembered session. A returning player does not need a new link while that session is valid.
Does Grey Tabby Golf charge the player?
No. The subscription is for the group. Signup does not take a payment.
