Best way to connect with new opponents, using the "Ready to Play" - hank - 08-14-2024
An effective way to connect with new opponents is using the "Ready to Play" tool shown on the Openplay parlour .
The basic way to use this tool is to click the "Ready to Play" button to open and show your match invites. Then select up to 3 of your match invites to offer on the screen. Then click "Ready to Play" button again to display your offers.
Now when someone clicks your offer on the screen, an invite to play is activated for you to accept or decline.
The tool allows you to set a timeframe to show your offers, the default is 15 minutes.
Note the "Manage this list" button on the tool which takes you to your invites dashboard to set up offers and choose which to include in your list.
Additionally, you can click on the actively displayed offers of others to send them invites. If you click on your offer as it's displayed on the screen, you'll be prompted with an option to show your offer in the "Message Board" too. That offer is also clickable by others to initiate the invite for a new match. Your offer will remain on the "Message Board" for a few hours even if you leave the site. When a potential opponent clicks it will receive a notice in your email.
The features of the "Ready to Play" tool offer the most robust way to connect with opponents.
