Answers to some Frequently Asked Questions

How does MyCardNight work? MyCardNight is a powerful, easy-to-use web-based system for card club organizers to manage their members and schedules.

What do group leaders do with their accounts? Group leaders define who is in their club(s) and set schedules, which are then made available to the group members. Gone are the days of the organizer calling everyone when schedules change - MyCardNight now handles this for you automatically.

What is the benefit for MyCardNight group members? In addition to receiving automatic reminders for events, group members get their own login, where they can manage all of their MyCardNight groups from one account. Members can update their own profile information and attendance, as well as communicate with each other using the Forum.

How is MyCardNight different from an email distribution list? MyCardNight saves the back-and-forth banter from clogging your inbox. Team members are given all the information they need automatically - if they want to banter, they have the Forum. Plus, with a web-based calendar, it's easy for team members to see all upcoming events at a glance.

What makes MyCardNight special? MyCardNight is a user-friendly application built for helping to manage any kind of group. Our goal is to make your job as the club organizer easy with a web application that's fast, effective, and powerful.

How many groups and clubs can a leader manage? A group leader can manage as many groups as he or she would like to manage.

How many groups can a member be in? A member can be in as many groups as he or she would like. MyCardNight will automatically provide a single account that the member can use to access all of his or her groups at once.

How do automatic email reminders work? Email reminders are sent before every event to all the members, at which point members will respond with whether or not they can attend the event. All of this is designed to be automatic, so that the team leader does not need to expend any additional effort coordinating the team.

Can I download my schedule? Yes, schedules can be downloaded in vCalendar or iCalendar format for easy integration into everyone's calendar software (Outlook, Palm, Google Calendar, etc).

What information do members receive in their emails? Automatically-sent emails to your members provide you with peace of mind that your team will know what's happening. Emails have a link to confirm whether or not the member will attend the event, so you get a head-count early. If you provide a Zip code with the location of the event, the predicted weather for the event will be included in the email. Also included with every email is a link to the Member Login, so team members can easily access their schedules, get maps to event locations, review rosters, and post messages in the forum. MyCardNight automatic emails stimulate the kind of involvement that most teams only dream about.

How much does MyCardNight cost? MyCardNight is designed to be low cost, with subscriptions starting at $4.95 per month for up to 50 group members.

Why do all accounts require a password to log in? MyCardNight is dedicated to protecting the privacy of the members on each team. Your personal information is only available to people on your team.

Do I need to download anything to use MyCardNight? No - MyCardNight is entirely web-based.
