Club Chat beta levels up — polls for players, cleaner mentions, sharper notifications

The Club Chat beta gets its first big polish wave — on the web app now, and in mobile 1.7.4, live on both the App Store and Google Play.

✨ New

• Players can create polls — rostered players can now start a poll in their tournament channels, on both web and mobile. Managers can still create polls in any channel, and General stays announcement-style. The Chat guide has the full rundown.
• Profanity filter — messages containing profanity are now blocked automatically, in every channel.

✅ Improved

• Your chat list stays fresh (mobile) — pull down to refresh your channels, and the list also refreshes on its own whenever you come back to the Chat tab.
• Push notifications reach everyone — new-message notifications now go out to every member of a channel.

🔧 Fixed

• The @-mention picker on mobile now shows player names properly instead of internal codes.
• @-mentions and reactions now work reliably for players in tournament channels.
• Members who joined a club after its chat channels were created are now added to the right channels automatically.
• Deleting your CrickTeams account now removes you from club chat as well.

Still in beta, still growing — want your club in early? Raise a ticket and ask for the Chat beta and we’ll switch it on for you. On the permissions side of the house, the help center now also covers Club Owner and ownership transfer.
