Followers and Guests
When you book a spot in a game, you’re usually booking for yourself. But Furbol lets you book for someone else too — either a follower (another Furbol user) or a guest (someone without a Furbol account). Both are ways of adding a friend to the pitch.
Followers
A follower is another Furbol user who follows you. Because they follow you, you’re allowed to book them into games on their behalf. They keep their own account, their own history, their own notifications — you’re just saving them a spot.
When you book a follower:
- A spot is saved under their name in the roster.
- They get a notification that they’re in the game.
- On game day, either they confirm themselves, or you (as the person who booked them) can confirm them.
Guests
A guest is someone without a Furbol account — a friend you’re bringing along, a colleague, a visitor. They don’t follow you on Furbol because they aren’t on Furbol at all.
When you book a guest:
- A placeholder record is created on the roster under your responsibility.
- You’re treated as the guest’s “recruiter” — all the notifications and decisions about them come to you.
- You confirm them; they can’t confirm themselves because they have no account.
Prereg contacts: a middle ground
You can also add pre-registered contacts — people you know by name and handle but who haven’t yet signed up. They behave like guests on the pitch (you book them, you confirm them), but with their own display label and handle on the roster.
If that person later signs up for Furbol and connects the dots (a process called claiming their history), the games you booked them into become part of their real account. From that point on, whether you can still book or confirm them depends on whether they gave you that permission during the claim.
