Title: Silly or Genious?

A thought popped up in my head... why not use WhatsApp to arrange tournaments?
I guess most of all already have smartphones, it's free and instant, you dont have to wait for your opponent in ag hoping he shows up.. if you're late u can tell him in advance even if you are far from pc

what u think?

Sure, you could write an app for it.
Or you (and your opponent) could use the forum/PM system: "Hey, I'll be in AG next friday at 6PM GMT"
I doubt people would use an app if they can't be arsed to use the forum/PM system, though

So you mean, we should all exchange mobile phone numbers? I wouldn't want to give mine away here to be honest. :P

ya thats what I meant dark. I dont know why I should care if people had my phone number, it's not like they'll waste money to call/nag me from outside my country lol

well I guess we have different cultures, here in Israel we wouldnt mind to exchange numbers

Don't get me wrong, I'd happily give my number to CF members, in fact I think I did that at some point in sCa to just ring phone if we had clanner etc.. But this is a bit too much for me. :D

Well there was this idea around you give your cell number on TUS and TUS sends you sms on occasions/people. But I'm not sure about the cost.

What about  notifications on tus site that remind you in what cup you are (inclduing deadlines), playoffs.. instead of some phone service :p

Good point, darkmaul. It's annoying to click on every cup you "remember" being in and check the deadline.

VN idea, notification In top of the site; for example "HYSTERIA OWNAGE cup, You pleyed 3 from 5 games , Deadline 05 d:03 h:55m "

[  ]Genious.

To be honest, I know you are meaning this in a good way, Almog. It isnt actually that bad idea. But a notifications window would help much more. Further you may use your smart phone by checking TUS page to get an update. But I would not give my number to anyone here except some few CF guys which I know for years.

+1 for notification window, but maybe it has been already implemented in tus2. App idea is silly, as spw said, you can always check it directly on tus page via your smartphone. If anything, a mobile version of tus would be a better idea, but it's still f@#!ing silly and there's no point in creating one.
