Quick TipS
Some quick tips in setting up Mad Puck for pickup hockey use.
-
In the team settings select "Pickup Hockey" from the button at the top (default is minor hockey)
-
Set up all the players before you send the invite out to make it faster when you start getting approvals
-
Get the team link from the top of the fans page and use the email template to send a message to your players to join Mad Puck
-
When a fan joins a team, assign them the “Player” role only and associate the player created earlier with this fan (aka user)

By default, rostered players are present in all games and sub players are absent in all games. If you want players to have to choose "Going/Not Going" for each game, turn on "Start in a 'Have not responded' state" in the team settings.

-
-
All players - will send the reminder to all players that are marked present, tentative or have not yet responded
-
All players needing attendance update - will only send the reminder to players that are tentative or have not yet responded. Use this to bug the players that haven't responded yet as you get closer to the game.
