B-Admin-TimeNotifications and Announcements in a Sports Group
Adam · 
Every sports group sooner or later faces the question of how to inform players about changes — a freed-up spot, a rescheduled session, a confirmed payment. A regular group chat has one flaw here: it doesn’t distinguish who a given piece of information actually concerns, so important messages get lost in the flow of ongoing conversation.
The problem with one shared chat
A message like "a spot opened up for Thursday" in the group chat reaches all 30 people, of whom realistically 2-3 actually care. The effect: people mute the group, and a muted group stops working as an information channel at all. The solution isn’t a different messenger — it’s separating two different things that happen to land in the same chat window.
Private push notifications
In B-Admin-Time, events concerning a specific person — a freed-up spot, a session time change, a payment confirmation, a sign-up lottery result — reach them directly as a push notification, automatically, without involving the admin and without informing the rest of the group.
Admin announcements
When information concerns the whole group, the admin publishes an announcement — a channel only they have posting rights to. This is something different from an open chat: the announcement doesn’t get lost in idle conversation, because nobody but the admin posts there, and every group member will see it.
Telegram as an optional channel
For people who prefer to get notifications and announcements on Telegram instead of an in-app push, you can connect your account — no need to set up a separate group or channel on Telegram, just one connection in your profile settings.
“Notifications, especially for keeping players informed about when the game is planned.” — Admin of a group of about 20 players that has been using B-Admin-Time for over 2 months
“Notifications during sign-ups, with a direct link to the sign-up page, let users sign up for a game in practically a few moments.” — Renata, admin of a group of about 40 players that has been using B-Admin-Time for over 2 months

Frequently asked questions
How is an announcement different from a regular group chat message?
Only the admin can post an announcement, so it’s a controlled information channel — nobody else can drown it out with a reply or a tangent.
Do private notifications require the recipient's consent?
Yes, every player manages their own notifications in their profile settings — they can turn off specific categories or switch them to a different channel.
