The Event Editor allows Regatta Administrators to configure specifics for each event within the regatta.  This tool allows admins to set up specific parameters for regattas that have specific needs across a variety of events and rules.  To access the Event Editor, select an event from the Edit screen in the Event List - the event editor box will pop up at which point users can move through the different tabs described below to configure events.  NOTE: Changes made in the event editor only apply to the specific event that was selected, not applied across multiple or all events at once.

Description

Event #

The event number can be manually updated here.

*If you have rearranged the order of the schedule you should close out of the individual event editor window and check off the 'Update event numbers to reflect the new order' box before you hit the 'Save' button.

Event Title

This name should reflect the boat configuration selected when you first created the event (an eight should stay an eight, etc.) but you can change the wording of the title to pretty much anything. For example, the 'Mixed Open 4+' in the picture above could be renamed 'Open Mixed Four - Sponsored Trophy Event'.
Event CodeYou can enter an event code which is similar to an abbreviation of the event name.
StatusThis allows you to set whether users can register for certain events (open vs. closed). You can also set events to require an application.


Entry Form
Image Modified

Line-up

Set whether line-ups will be collected on the entry form.

Note: In order for USRowing sanctioned regattas to use the online waiver system you will need to collect line-ups on the entry form.

Birthdates

Collection of birthdates can be mandatory, required or not required. Setting this to mandatory means that entrants will not be able to add an athlete on the entry form without providing a birthday. Not required means that they can save the entry without birthdays but that they will be prompted to enter them later. Not required means that the birthday field is optional.

Note: Due to USRowing requirements if a club is a USRowing organizational member or based in Canada the entrant will need to enter a birthday in order to add a new athlete on the entry form. This rule will override the setting in the event list.

Rank/SeedYou can disable the collection of rank or seed if you do not need them for your event.

Custom Boat Label


Allow Editing


Scratches


Require Bio/Require Coach

Checking this box will render a text box on the entry form where entrants can type in a custom boat label. This will override the boat label (first initial, last name) that we usually provide in the reports. This feature could be useful for Row for the Cure events where boats typically like to row under special team names.


If turned off, the user may not make any changes to their entry once it is submitted.


Select how you would like to handle scratches. Allow users to scratch up until the entry deadline, or instruct that they must contact you for any scratches, regardless of the deadline.


There will be fields on the form for the athlete to list their coach and/or a short biography. Check the box if you would like to require the fields to be completed.
