easy idea?

Just a thought.
But seems that the email to the player base dragged a few of us back to the game. ( no idea how long for as my memory is crap and i forget to log on)

But maybe doing this a day or two before the start of the round each time may help jog memories and remind players to come and try again?

Worked for me!
