Only a commish or admin sees these alerts — they exist to tell a league manager when something on the roster or an event's field needs their attention, without having to reopen the league and check.
What do I get alerted about?
Five things, all on by default the moment you're a commish or admin of a league. Each one is written to your Notifications feed in Messages, and you get a single "you have unread messages" notification pointing you at it:
- A new member joins your league through the public page, a join passcode, or an invite link — but not when you or another manager adds someone directly, since that's an action you already know about.
- A guest self-joins one of your events — a walk-up who needs seating before the round.
- An event's field fills up — you get told once, the moment the last open slot is taken.
- A waitlist starts on an event — once, when the first player lands on it.
- A player gets auto-promoted off the waitlist — every time it happens, since each promotion is worth a fresh look (you may want to double-check their tee assignment).
None of these fire for a manager who has been removed from the league or whose account has been deactivated — they no longer have any standing to act on them.
Do I have to turn this on?
No. These five alerts are on by default for every commish and admin, with nothing to set up.
There's no longer a setting for these specifically. If you don't want to be interrupted at all, turn off Unread messages on your profile — the alerts still arrive in your Notifications feed, you just won't get pushed about them. See Notifications: what reaches you.
Can I get a push for every single RSVP?
Yes, but you have to ask for it — this one is off by default. A push per individual RSVP is a lot of noise for anything but a small league, so it ships as an opt-in extra called RSVP play-by-play. Turn it on and you'll get a push every time a player RSVPs in or out of an event (never for a repeat submission of the same status), showing the running "in" and waitlist counts.
Where do I turn these on or off?
Go to Profile → Notifications. If you manage at least one league, you'll see two extra toggles below the standard player notification categories:
- Roster activity (managers) — the five milestone alerts above. On by default.
- Every RSVP (managers) — the per-RSVP play-by-play. Off by default.
These two toggles are only shown if you're a commish or admin of at least one league — a player with no management responsibilities never sees them, since the alerts could never fire for them anyway.
Will I get notified about my own actions?
No. You're always excluded from the alert for something you did yourself — for example, if you RSVP into the last open slot, the "field is full" push goes to your co-managers, not to you.
