Commissioners can't manually add members to a contest — all participants must self-register using an invite link. This ensures members affirmatively consent to join and meets legal and compliance requirements. Here's how to invite your members and track who's joined.
Accessing the Invites Manager
Go to the Commissioner tab
Select Active → click Manage on your contest
Click Invites Manager
Sending Invites
From the Invites Manager you can:
Copy and share the invite link — paste it into a text, email, or group chat
Add invitees directly — invite your Splash followers, members from past contests (Splash, RunYourPool, or OfficeFootballPool), or import an email list
Send via Splash — select a past contest, check the box next to it, click Review Invite, then Send Invite
Send reminders — click Send Reminder, add a custom message, and send to anyone who hasn't joined yet
💡 Finalize your contest settings before sending invites — some settings can't be changed after participants join.
Tracking Invites
View sent, pending, and accepted invites under the Sent tab in the Invites Manager. If some recipients don't appear to have received their invite, use the Download CSV button to get their email addresses and follow up directly — delivery to spam is common.
Downloading Your Invite List
In the Invites Manager, click Download CSV (top-right corner)
Open the file and copy the email addresses
Paste into your own email client to send a custom message
What Members See
Invited members receive a notification and can find the invite under My Contests → Invites at the top of the screen. They must accept the invite to join the contest — they cannot be added automatically.
Cleaning Up Empty Contests
If you have empty contests you want to remove:
Go to the Commissioner tab
Click on the contest
Use the … (three-dot) menu → Cancel Contest
