Inviting a member to a CC takes only 3 steps (one of which is optional, but which ensures the person knows they have an invite waiting for them).
- CC Owner Invites player of choice
- CC Owner tags that player's wall and lets them know they have an invite in their email
- Invitee clicks confirmation link in email and joins club.
That's all that it takes really. We chose to do it this way because we felt this wouldn't be terribly difficult. We also assumed that most users had correct email information on their account since they are supposed to according to the Terms & Conditions.
As a result of country clubs we have found many players who have mistyped or incorrect emails entered in their account information. Since you are required to have accurate information on your account this has actually helped us quite a bit, so there is some positive to doing it this way since we contact players via email if they win a prize or sweepstakes. We'll see what we can do to simplify it further, but the current system may be in place for a little while longer.
