Communications

The Communications tab lets you email your attendees and control which automated notifications get sent. It is split into two sub-tabs: Messages and Email Settings.

Messages

Compose message

Send an email to all attendees or an individual player directly from OWR, with no separate mailing list to maintain. Choose a recipient in the To field (all attendees or a specific player), set a Subject, and write the Message in the rich text editor (bold, italic, lists, code, and links).

Messages are sent from your tournament via OWR using a unique proxy email address per player. When a player replies, the response is forwarded to your email. This keeps your personal address private while still allowing two-way communication.

Sent messages

A log of all messages you have sent through the system, useful for checking what has already been communicated.

Email settings
