Here's a quick overview of what Teamsubs can do for you and your team.

Let's take an example. I'm Jay, and I'm planning a game of 3 on 3 basketball. I know I want 2 guys there, including myself. To be safe, I'll put in Jeff as a possible substitute.

 

This is a coed game, and I know I want at least one female there, as well, so I'll put them on a different list so that the female subs and the male subs are kept separate. This works equally well if you have specific positions to fill on your team (goalkeepers, outfielders, etc)

 

After I send this invite out, I can see that my subs haven't been invited yet, only my main players have

 

Everyone invited this way will recieve an email with the ability to respond "yes" or "no" directly from their email.

 

Oh, crud! I just remembered that I can't make it this week. I'll say reply no, and my sub will automatically be invited, and an email will be sent to him. I can tell that he was invited by looking at the list of who has responded. There's Jeff, on the "Have Not Yet Responded" list.

 

I wonder if anyone else is playing basketball that night at the same place, just in case I need to invite more people later. I'll look at the "find subs" page.

 

Not only are there people playing at 7pm that night at the same place, but there are also people who've said that they want to be asked to sub, in case I can't find anyone else. Great, now I know I have a good backup plan if I need to ask more people to play. These people know that they're not on my team, so I should make the message pretty specific.

 

Maybe I'll just invite my other female sub now, and possibly get all three females to show up. I can do that by clicking the "invite your subs" link

 

Now I can invite Jill, and she'll get the same invite as the rest of my players did.
