Mailing lists/Tournaments

The Planet Kubb Mailing Lists can be used in a handful of ways by tournament organizers to connect easily with those that are playing in or are interested in getting information about the tournament. A mailing list can also be a great way to let people who are coming to the tournament connect with each other! And since this all works over email it is convenient, free and simple.

First, there are some conventions around list names that are worth considering. Announcement only lists typically end in "-announce" for their name. So, let's use the US National Kubb Championship as an example. The mailing list name for announcements (meaning only a couple people can post to the list) would be "usakubb-announce". There is also a common use of "-l" for lists that are general mailing lists, allowing any member to post. So, that would be "usakubb-l".

Tournaments may also want to consider having both generic lists for their tournament, as well as a list for each year! So, for the example of the US National Kubb Championship there could be lists such as:


 * usakubb-announce: All general announcements about the National Championship, evergreen list that grows every year, and only posted for announcements.
 * usakubb-l: General list that any list member can use to send messages about the tournament.
 * usakubb-2013-announce: All announcements just for the 2013 National Championship.
 * usakubb-2014-announce: All announcements just for the 2014 National Championship.
 * usakubb-2013-l: General mailing list for people interested in the 2013 Championship.
 * usakubb-2014-l: General mailing list for people interested in the 2013 Championship.

And so on.

List owners can add people to mailing lists on their own. So if you have a list of several hundred people who have played in your tournament, it is easy to upload that list into the Planet Kubb mailing lists and start using it right away.

Administration

You can access administration options for your mailing list from the list of all Planet Kubb mailing lists then clicking on the list, and then on the bottom there is a link for the administrative interface for each list.
