A game just appeared on my gamesheet, and I didn even get a chance to decline the invitation. Why did that happen?
We get this question most of the time when a new player attempted to decline an invitation that was open for anybody to play. Since these invitations are not sent to players individually, but are simply available for any player to join, you cannot decline this invitation. Sending any kind of response to this type of invitation will sign you up to play the game. Some of our clubs have a “club challenge” feature that allows one club member to challenge another to a game. Those club challenges are not subject to the same accept and decline rules as normal invitations. One other way that you can end up with a game on your game sheet against a player you don’t recognize is if one of your opponents decided to change his or her name.
