Online entries and payments

As well as loading the list of entries with Excel, MiRally lets competitors sign up directly on the website and, if you want, pay the entry fee online. Competitors see the process in Signing up for an event.

Opening registration

Online registration is set up in Edit Event:

Vacancies (Basic section): maximum number of competitors. It must be greater than 0 for the Sign up button to appear. When the places are full, new competitors go onto the reserve list.
Registration opening date and Closing registration date (Advanced section): the Sign up button only appears between these two dates.
Public (Basic section): so that the event appears in the calendar.
Allow Clubs/Escuderias (Basic section): adds the Club field to the form.

In the Advanced section you can also set:

Email Post Inscription: text of the email the competitor receives when signing up. For example, with the scrutineering schedule or the link to the regulations.
Disclaimers: documents the competitor must accept. Each one appears with a mandatory tick box and a link. Format: text;link#text;link
CustomQuestions: questions the competitor must answer. All of them are mandatory. Format: question1#question2

Each time someone signs up, you receive an email “[MiRally] Nueva inscripción” with their details, at your account's email address and at the event's Org. Email.

New entries arrive unconfirmed. Check the list in Registered and tick Confirmed for each accepted competitor.
