The Meetup Tab

[Trish H]

I don't know how many of you have used the Meetup tab shown next to your active match play board.



I used it today for the first time to schedule a time with my opponent to meet.  And it is a winner!

When you go to the dashboard it is the first item that is loaded up as a reminder that you commit.

In the Unfinished Matches Dashboard , the match item with meet-up times will display a summary of your and your opponent's "Meeting Times Offered".




Helpful to schedule playing times with opponents across the world.

The Meetup Tool (shown in the Meetup Tab next to the playing board) is being improved every day.

Some lesser-known features of this tool are that the meeting times accepted can be added to your online appointment reminders, such as Google Calendar.
For any meet-up times where you and your opponent have accepted, a paper-clip icon will appear. In just a few more clicks, the appointment can be added to your online calendar.


Also when using the chat !ping command, the set of offered times and accepted times to meet up are included in the email sent to your opponent.


The meetup time input/entries are simple and quick. Click the "show examples" on the tool for complete details. 
For example, more often than not your schedule opens for the next hour. You easily enter: next 1

 Use "next 60" or "next 1" to offer meetup times for the next 60 minutes.  also, next 15, next 30, next 45 15, 30 or 45 minutes offerings.

Meetup offers are sent to the top-bar notifications indicator. So your opponent will be alerted to your offers if they are online.
