What do other TO's find effective...

...for sending out players invites to their games?
Do you like to send out invites that expire in 24 hours? Or do you send players a PM with the auto-join tags around it, so that it will never expire? (This is what I do)

I am asking because making the auto-join links are time consuming, and it is much easier to make errors. But on the other hand, you don't have to worry about the invite expiring 2 min before the player logs on...
So what do you other TO's do when sending out game invites to your players?

pms with the autojoin links is what i do.Copy and paste with changing a few game #'s and passwords is the quickest

I send PMs with auto-join links and after 2 days I send an invite as a reminder.

That is usually what I do as well.. I was just wondering if there are any other effective techniques.. Since sending over a dozen PM's all with different game numbers and different players is tedious.. Thank you for your input :)

I've used autojoin links so far, for 25-man tournaments. the next one is going to be significantly larger... but I don't see a better way to handle it. Now, if Invites get stretched to 48 hours in the next month... but it still wouldn't work well. each invite is it's own PM, and I'll be sending quite a few at a time.

Looks like it's still autojoin links.
