Events are called Sessions or Games in Pickleheads.

Once you join a group (e.g. MVPC Round Robin), when an organizer creates a session, the organizer will invite players to join. This can be all players in the group, players with a certain rating in the group, etc.

• Players who are invited will get notified by Pickleheads via email and/or app notification

• Players who are invited to the session can accept, decline or ignore the invite

• Initially, everyone is on the Waitlisted or Pending list

• Two to three days prior to the session, the organizer will confirm players from the waitlist. A lottery will determine who is confirmed with members having priority

• If someone drops out, waitlisted players will move into the confirmed list

• Players who are confirmed will be notified by Pickleheads

• The organizer will send either an email or a group chat through Pickleheads a day before the event. Players should check their email or the Pickleheads app often a day before the event for possible updates

• Players can always remove themselves from the confirm list or the waitlist. See Canceling Sign Ups section for details

• If the session is canceled, players will be notified via Pickleheads
