First off, this poll is related to the next tournament I am organizing. I don't want to enter into details but I will tell you that, in order for this tournament to work, each of the participants need to receive a certain information that is just for them and since their opponent would read it if I just drop it on the tournament post, I have to use a special system in order for this to work and to be fun.
There are three different ways for me to do this and I don't really think that one is better than the other, but I thought that it may be different for you, so I am giving you a chance to talk now.
Options:
I also want to clarify that the situation above are hypothetical, I believe that you guys will play without cheating, but I needed to give examples for the sake of the explanation.
Oh and you may comment here and ask any stuff related to this. The votes that include an extra comment here will have more value that the others, so please comment if you have time.

Options:
- Private Message: I will just send you the information through PM. This is the most secure of the three systems and it's not to difficult to sort out. However, I know some people that have a whole mess with PM and it may be easier for them to use a different system. There is also the whole fact that not everyone reads their PM.
- A Board Reserved just for you: I will create a single password-secured board for each participant and I will send you the password through PM. This is not as secure as the previous one, but it still has some security and in the off chance that I give the information to the wrong people, I can quickly fix it through moving/deleting posts.
- A Board for different people: This is similar to the previous one, with the difference that it will have different posts for different people. So, will your opponent read it? No, because I will make two different boards, one for all the participant that are at the left of the pairings and other for the ones that are at the right (if that makes sense). This may be the less secure system since different people will be able to check it and maybe they could give the information to your opponent, none knows, but it will be far easier to sort out and control.
