You can choose to notify only the teams that are affected by game changes after you publish the schedule.

Edit the game as you normally would. At the bottom of the edit game screen, there is a checkbox to flag the teams affected. It keeps track of both the teams that will change and the teams that were originally scheduled, if you are changing team pairings… but mostly, it will be a time/location change…

NO AUTOMATED EMAILS ARE SENT OUT ON CHANGES! This allows you to bundle all the changes and then send out an email using the Team Apps Module as you normally would. If you are acting on several groups, like all field 10, then all field 13, then all teams in a division, etc, we advise you to bundle all like changes together. For example, do all the field 10 changes in a batch, send the email, then all the field 13 changes, send the email, etc… that way, you can be specific about what the change is. BUT, you don’t have to! You can make ALL the changes, then filter on the teams affected and send a generic email like: “Your games have been changed; please check your schedule now for the changes” or something like that…. your choice….

When you have teams flagged from the schedule changes, you will see a new filter in your Team Apps Module called Team(s) w/ game changes. Check that and click Go! Only the teams that have been flagged will show up.

Check them, type in your email and send. The flag will then clear. It it STRONGLY recommended that you put in a Bcc: to yourself so you have ready documentation that you sent the email. The email will also be in the Team’s Message Center.

CLEARING THE FLAG WITHOUT SENDING AN EMAIL
If you flag teams on changes, but decide against sending an email, you can clear them just as you would marking them paid, accepted, etc from that top menu. Select that, check the teams, click on Mark Checked Records and the flags will clear. This is useful if you want to keep track of the teams prior to publishing the schedule, make a mistake and inadvertently check on changes … whatever the reason, you can clear all or some of the teams.
