Registration Types

This section explains the difference between the 3  registration types.

1.  Individual:  This registration type will  register a customer into the parent group as an individual.  An example  would be if an individual wants to register for a league but does not have a  team to register into.  They will register as an individual and you will  then assign him/her to a team using the Move to  Sub-Group feature.  Individual registration is also used if the group  does not and will not contain any subgroups.

2.  With a “Subgroup”:  This registration type  will allow a customer to choose which subgroup he/she wants to register  into.  An example would be if someone wants to register for a specific team  in a league.

3.  New “Subgroup”:  This registration type  allows a customer to create a whole new subgroup.  This option is usually  used for leagues to allow team captains to create his/her team.  This  option will only create the subgroup, there are 2 ways the captain can have  his/her players registered into the subgroup.

a.  After the captain has created his/her team they will  receive an email containing a web link.  The captain can go to that link  and add his/her players to the team.  The captain can also assign payment  amounts each player needs to pay against the invoice created by the New  “Subgroup” fee.  After a player has been added he/she will also receive an  email containing a web link.  The player can go to that link and pay  his/her share of the new team fee assigned to him/her by the team captain.   See also Captain’s and Player’s Link.  This method charges a certain amount per team.  If you want to charge a  certain amount per player you are better off using option b.
Note: What  (from the above information) the team captain can and cannot do is based on what  has been selected in the Allow clients to enter rosters for subgroups they  create section of the Administration -> Online Registration page.   See also the Administration Setup -> Online Registration section of our Administrator Guide.  If you do not have access to the  Administration page, please contact a manager who does to find out which option  has been selected.

b. The team captain can create his/her team using the New  “Subgroup” registration type. After the captain has created the team the  players can individually register to the team using the With a “Subgroup”  registration type. The captain must create the team before the players can  register to the team. This option is better for if you want to charge a  certain amount per person. In this case you may want to make the New  “Subgroup” fee 0 and the With a “Subgroup” fee the amount you want to charge per  person. In this case you may also want to make the Individual fee the same  amount for players who don’t have a team to register into.

Note: “Subgroup” will be replaced by anything you put in the  “Each subgroup is a” text-box in the Adding a New  Group page.
