First, thanks for getting the games database and e-mail notification working for the last TL. As both a player and a captain, the latter is super useful!
I have an idea for something else that might be helpful to a number of stakeholders in the league. One of the recurring weekly activities I find myself doing is, after a game is scheduled via the game forum, adding it to my calendar, so that I remember to show up when it is time to play. Talking to others, it seems this is a common practice. After visiting a local doctor, I think I may have found a simple way to enable this activity through the TL Web site.
By providing an "Add to Calendar" button in the forum once the game time is set, a person could just just click and have the event automatically added to the calendar of their choosing. This is provided by: https://addtocalendar.com/
It supports calendars from Google, Yahoo, Outlook, and Apple, and seems relatively straightforward to utilize.
So, I am wondering if this might be something that would ease the time and potentially error-prone process of a lot of players doing this every week for themselves. Just something to consider for the future.
Thanks,
Tim

I've made a change to game forum to add game time to your calendar. Please check this out and let me know of any issues.

Looks good, thanks for adding this!

I have one other suggestion, that I think might be useful. How about, on the pairings page, once the time for a game is set, making it (the date/time) into a link to the "Add to Calendar" functionality?
For example, in the following game:
"White United States yoyoman 03-05 19:00 United States mindlin Black"
Make "03-05 19:00" clickable.
That way, players could easily add any game that they are interested in to their calendar.
Just something for future consideration!

The Add to Calendar feature is great!

Work's keeping me busy, but I'll definitely consider Tim's latest request for implementation.
