Organization announcements allow Admins to send important updates to tournament Admins, team Staff, and team's confirmed community members in GameChanger. These messages are sent directly from the Organization, reaching all members of the selected audiences.

Creating an Announcement

To create and send an announcement for your Organization as an Admin:

1. Navigate to your Organization.
2. Tap the announcement icon in the top right corner.
3. Press Create announcement, or if you have active announcements, tap the compose icon in the top right corner.
   
4. Select the audience for your announcement. Other tournament Admins are always included in the audience selection.  You can also choose to include Staff and/or Parents, guardians, and players in your announcement.

5. Create your announcement including a Subject, Details, any desired attachments, and setting an expiration date. 
   

   • The Subject and Details are required fields.
   • Up to 5 attachments can be included.  The following file types are accepted: jpg, jpeg, png, heic, and pdf.
   • By default all announcements will expire in 120 days.  The expiration date can be adjusted, but the maximum value is 180 days from the current date.  
   • Announcements will expire at 11:59 PM ET on the expiration date.

   Announcements cannot be edited once sent so please review before continuing.

Admins can review previously sent announcements from the Organization’s announcement page.  Expired announcements will be shown in the expired tab.
