Set the restrictions

Go to Registrations > Competitions and click Add Competition. On Requirements & Restrictions, switch on each card you need.

Switching off Capacity Limit or Age Restriction clears its numbers.

Set the registration window

Choose the publishing status

On Confirmation, pick Go Live Now to open the competition to families, or Save as Draft to keep it hidden, then click Create Competition. Schedule Go-Live only saves a date. It does not publish the competition. Families can’t see or register for a competition until it is Live.
Any or all. Unchecked, one match is enough. Checked, the athlete needs every selection. Memberships. Pick a whole membership (Any billing cycle) or one cycle. A red warning appears when families couldn’t buy their way in: a required pick isn’t sold online, or none of your picks are. A family missing one sees a Membership Required banner on Select Athlete. The membership is added to their cart, or they choose one when several qualify. Waivers. A waiver is only asked for while it is being offered. Outside its availability window or seasons it doesn’t block entry, and a signer age range limits it to athletes in that range. Purchase and entry conditions. To require something already bought or attended, use Purchase conditions on the competition’s Overview tab or Entry conditions on an event’s page. Each has a How strict setting. See How do I require an earlier purchase before someone can register?
  • Refuse early (the default for Purchase conditions): families see buyable items in an Also Required step, and athletes missing something they can’t buy there are ineligible.
  • Refuse at checkout: the same Also Required step, but those athletes carry on and are stopped at payment.
  • Warn only: tells the family what’s missing and lets them register.
  • Entry conditions are checked at checkout, which refuses the entry unless the condition is Warn only.
  • Staff are warned, never blocked, so they can always override at checkout.
Early access. On Registration Window, type an Early Access Code or click Generate. Once the competition is saved, share the Early Access Link, since families don’t type the code. It works whenever registration isn’t open, even after it closes. What families see. Outside the window, your club website shows Registration Closed or when registration opens. Signed-in families pick an athlete. Athletes who fail the age restriction or a purchase condition set to Refuse early appear under Ineligible for this competition. For other rules, the family sees the reasons after picking the athlete. Events are filtered by age category and gender. Checkout checks everything again and refuses a full competition or an athlete already entered in that event. Change it later. See How do I edit a competition after it’s created?
