For TD's: How does the online player registration for my tourney on openCards work?

When you register your tournament you have the option to activate online player registration for your tourney (check "online registration" under "details"). If this is activated, all openCards members can register for your tourney by a single click - on the announcement page of your tournament there will be a link under "Register online - Now!", players can easily join the list of announced players here (or later cancel if they chancge thier decision). You as TD will get an automatically generated private message "by" that newly registered user. This registration is non-binding for both parties, but will inform you and your players about the probable number of players. And it will save the TD some work when filling in tournament results (see: How do I fill in the results of my tournament?)

Another plus of online player registration: We are planning a function which will allow openCards members to check out which tournaments they have played in - but this function works only if those players have used the online player registration!
