All admins can do it, so Shar, Bill, myself, whoever else wants to become an admin in the club. Right now Bill already joined and he's already an admin, and I'm open to adding whoever an admin as well.

nice place you have here . . . when's the game on? And, for the old timers, anybody got any popcorn?

Sharantyr

In ofcourse.

I like the added options it gives you for setting the games up. You can pick the level times, even have varied chip stacks etc.

Thank you for setting this up Wes.

Go into the Home Games tab of your client. There is an option to join or create a club.

When you click join it will ask for this info:

Club Id: 10396
Club Invitation code: canadapoker

Be sure to include your forum name in the space provided that asks for your name so Westside knows who you are.

He then will accept your membership.
