Club Information Tree

This contact tree is intended to solve the problem that members often miss important announcements because the club chat jumps erratically when we scroll more than 8-12 hours (it varies) backward, and will often not stop until the chat is several months old.  Then members have to painstakingly scroll back down to current times.  A lot of members can’t put up with this every day, and so they miss important information in the club chat.

This will not be a perfect fix.  After receiving a notice of an important announcement, you still may have to scroll backwards, experience the jump-back, and scroll down for the announcement.  Nevertheless, all members are required to review the important announcements, so just bear with the inconvenience.  Hopefully, there won’t be a lot of these announcements.  By having this contact tree, you will only have to endure the jump-back and scroll-down when it really matters.

All officers are required to have at least one game with each of the members they are assigned to contact.

Members are required to accept at least one game from their assigned officers.

   
Everyone is required to review the important announcements when they receive a notice.

​

I arranged the contact tree so that officers will get 2 notices.  This is for redundancy, in case an officer is not available when the contact list is activated.

I arranged the call tree so that, as much as possible, officers in the easterly time zone will contact officers in the next time zone to the west.  So officers in the U.S. will notify officers in the Eastern Hemisphere; officers in the Eastern Hemisphere will contact officers in the UK; and officers in the UK will notify officers in the U.S.  This is to allow time for the officers to receive the messages and forward them timely.

​

The message that officers send to notify other officers and members should be:

Please see an important announcement made by Fangdango at (insert the relative time elapsed since the announcement was made in the club chat, such as “6 hours ago” or “2.5 hours ago”).
