Why can't I accept my invite with a different email address?
An invite only works with the email address it was sent to.
A Football Play Card invite can be accepted only with the email address it was sent to. That goes for every invite: coaches, players, parents and other followers. It stops an invite link that gets forwarded from putting the wrong person on a team.
How do I accept my invite?
-
Open the invite link from the email your coach sent.
-
If you do not have an account yet, fill in the form and select Join Binder. The Email box is already filled in with the address the invite went to, and it cannot be changed. A player is asked for their birth month and year first. See "Why am I asked for my birth month and year?"
-
If you already have an account with that address, you may already be on the team: if the email only asks you to sign in, sign in and open your team. Otherwise select Sign In, sign in, and select Join Team. A player who has not done so is asked for their birth month and year first.
