  3. Enter the event overview (optional). It will appear on the event page.
  4. Compose the welcome email body (optional). It will be sent to participants upon registration.
  5. Specify the entry dates. Entries will be allowed within this date range. Leave it blank if you want shooters to enter anytime without restrictions.

13. Select Features​

All features are checked by default.

Note that disabling Participants or Matches will also disable Stats. Stats can be turned off independently but cannot be enabled without Participants and Matches.

14. Participant Information​

All options are checked by default. These options control mandatory data collection on the registration form.

  • Collect Age: We collect age groups instead of date of birth for data security. Age groups are 25-64, 65+, 19-24, and Under 19. For custom age groups, create a Custom Entry Form and manually add participants to the appropriate User Category.
  • Collect Gender: Collect participant's gender - Male, Female, or Others.
  • Enable Classifications: Collect NRA-specific classification information. Uncheck if classifications do not apply to your discipline.
tip

Most of the events collect this information for different aggregates and awards. If you don't need it, uncheck the options. If you want to collect additional information, create a Custom Entry Form and manually add participants to the appropriate User Category.

15. Enable Division​

Divisions are based on the NRA Rules selected above. You can override these defaults under Manage Club > Club Divisions. Toggle applicable divisions for the event.

16. Payment Gateways​

Configure Payment Gateways under Manage Club. Toggle the payment methods you want to allow for this event. All methods are checked by default.

  • Stripe
  • E-Transfer
  • Cash

17. Limit Entries​

Limit the number of entries. Once the number of participants reaches the specified limit, entries will be turned off automatically. When available spots are less than 10, a notification will appear under Register button.

18. Waitlist​

Enable waitlist to allow participants to join a waitlist once the event reaches the entry limit. When a spot opens up, you can manually invite the participants from the waitlist to enter.

Additional Options​

  • Allow Target Score to collect donations during registration. This option adds a donation field on the Entries page when Credit Card is selected as the payment option. Donations will be transferred to Target Score from the Credit Card company.
  • Hide the event and results from public listings. You will need to share the links yourself. Find the event link under Manage Club > Your Events.
  • Agree to terms and conditions and privacy policy.

Finally, click the "Create" button at the bottom.
