Such a good idea. The back and forth from starting to inviting (as you mentioned) is a royal pain. If there could be a drop down of friends and/or space to type in a player's name...all at once, would be great.
Sure. I don't see why not. The invitation function already exists, and there should be no problems with having the invitations on the game creation page since you can batch it and add the players after the creation event for the game.
It is a good, practical idea, especially for tournaments. I've been in the situation where I'm creating dozens of tournament game, then I have to go and get those games and invite people one by one. Like so many other suggestions, it would probably take a lot of work. Still, a good idea, and I'm sure if you have a clear finalised proposal it will get a look in.
Cheers, JB

Have fields available when making a new game to invite players to your game instead of doing so induvidually from the awaiting players tab.
Specifics/Details:
When creating team games (or standard games for that matter), from the Start A Game menu, if you want to start a few games it's a bit of a pain inviting a team to your side as you have to hit several screen to invite each player, so if your starting several games as many of us do it is a little annoying. If possible, when starting a new game and you have selected the number of players you want in the game, and the game format, you get the invite option at the bottom to enter player names into boxes, or use your friends drop down list as you would induvidually as it currently is. Then on hitting submit the game is created and invites are sent together.
How this will benefit the site and/or other comments:
Just a comman sense observation to make the site a little quicker/simpler. This also stops people joing your team before you've had a chance to invite those you want to play with.

Having a random fill your game before you invite someone is very annoying. Also skillful on the part of a person who can join your game in the 10 seconds it takes to change screen and invite someone.
Im suprised this has not been suggested and implemented sooner....
Ive just had to invite my clan to many wars games, this would have saved me massive ball ache and screen changing!! I double my support (which does carry quite some weight round here!! ).
