Once your fixture is announced the recommended strategy to organise the fixture is:-

1) Add your opponent to your friends list (As soon as you see the fixture).

2) Message your opponent informing him of your general availability (As soon as you see the fixture) i.e:-

"Hi, we have a clan fixture to play. I'm online most evenings between 7 and 10. Are you likely to be online at these times?"

Depending on the response proceed as follows:-

2a) NO - If your opponent will not be around at these times, try and find a common time. If a common time can be found then arrange a date and time to play.

If no common time can be found inform the Captain/Vice to arrange a suitable substitution (Ensure you tell them when your opponent will be available).

2b) YES - Keep an eye out for your opponent while you're online. If you do not manage to get hold of him after the first week of the fixture, message them again to arrange a time and date.

3) In the event that your opponent does not turn up to play your fixture, message him to re-arrange. Make sure they are aware that they have let you down... but be careful as there may have been an unavoidable circumstance behind it.

If your opponent continues to miss the arranged times your messages will be vital for the defaults panel. Please ensure that you send all of your correspondence to your Captain. Rest assured you should be looked on kindly by the defaults panel.

Note: This is based on the usual 2 week fixture duration.

Note: Throughout, read him/her for him.

Thought this might be useful to point ppl to?

yup think it should be a sticky too

bump. This is getting some attention on pool by the way

Yeah, were not quite as useless over here, so its not as useful lol

There is about triple less clans here also

Still, it's quite a handy guide to have so stuck! Do you still use the fixture generator up here or can that be un-stickied?

In which case it might be worth correcting the typos and renaming it to


"A beginners guide to arranging a clan games"

lol slats, ur a legend

that one can be unstickied i think lee, me and seb has had problems with it and was originally created to help us with our clan fixtures

Remaining typos corrected as Lee is useless .

Also second note added so our lady members aren't offended .

I hate to be picky, but there are only 10 clans there (FCL) and 6 here. Not THAT big a difference
