📋Level registration settings

Learn how to configure level-specific registration settings including pricing, age limits, and participant constraints for individual competition levels.

Overview

The Level Registration Settings tab allows you to customize registration requirements and constraints for each individual level in your meet. These level-specific settings work alongside your meet-wide registration settings, providing granular control over who can register for each level and under what conditions.

Level-Specific Registration Controls

Registration Pricing

Flexible Pricing Options:

  • Use Global Meet Price: When the global meet price is enabled and a price is specified, all levels automatically use that price

  • Set Level Price: When the global meet price is disabled, you must specify the registration price for each level individually

Price Display:

  • If using the global meet price, the meet’s current price is shown and applied to all levels

  • If using level pricing, each level’s custom price is shown and applied only to that level

  • All pricing changes are immediately reflected in the registration form

Practical Impact:

  • Global pricing provides one consistent price across the entire meet

  • Level pricing allows different price points for different levels based on competition difficulty

  • Pricing is clearly shown to clubs during registration

Maximum Athletes Per Level

Capacity Management:

  • Enable Level Limit: Set a maximum number of athletes allowed in this level

  • Unlimited Capacity: Leave disabled to allow unlimited registration

Registration Control:

  • When enabled, registration automatically closes when the limit is reached

  • Works independently of meet-wide capacity limits

  • Prevents over-subscription of popular levels

Example Usage:

  • Limit advanced levels to 50 athletes to maintain quality

  • Allow unlimited registration for beginner levels

Age Requirements

Precise Age Control:

  • Minimum Age: Set the youngest age allowed for this level

  • Maximum Age: Set the oldest age allowed for this level (optional)

Age Validation:

  • Ages can be specified in years and months for precision

  • Minimum age must be less than maximum age when both are set

  • Works with the meet's year start date for age calculations

Override Capability:

  • Level-specific age limits override meet-wide age settings

  • More restrictive than meet settings (narrower age range)

Example Scenario:

  • Clubs can only register 14-18 year olds for Level A

  • Only 8-12 year olds can register for Level B

  • Meet-wide settings provide the outer bounds

How Level Settings Override Meet Settings

Priority System

Registration Form Logic:

  1. Meet Settings Applied First: Basic meet requirements (currency, deadlines, etc.)

  2. Level Settings Override: More specific level constraints take precedence

  3. Final Validation: Both meet and level requirements must be satisfied

Practical Examples

Age Constraints:

  • Meet allows ages 8-18

  • Level A requires ages 14-16

  • Result: Only 14-16 year olds can register for Level A

Pricing:

  • Meet base price: $100

  • Level B custom price: $75

  • Result: Level B costs $75, other levels cost $100

Capacity:

  • Meet maximum: 200 athletes

  • Level C maximum: 30 athletes

  • Result: Level C closes after 30 registrations, even if meet has remaining spots

Registration Flow Impact

Club Experience:

  • Clubs select their desired level during registration

  • Form immediately shows level-specific requirements

  • Real-time validation prevents invalid registrations

  • Clear feedback on why registration might be blocked

  • Prevents incompatible registrations (wrong age for level)
