# Set registration settings

> Configure deadlines, capacity, and pricing.

You've created a meet. Now you need to decide how registration works: when it opens, when it closes, what happens if someone registers late, and whether you need to collect anything beyond the basics.

**Prerequisites:** You need to [create a meet](/meet-setup/create-a-meet.md) before configuring registration.

## Steps

From the meet admin, go to **Meet settings**. The registration options are spread across a few tabs there. Work through the ones you need.

![Open Meet settings in the sidebar. Registration options live across the Registration, Pricing & payments, Coach, and Waitlist tabs.](/files/y5s6g8Tt4Skfi0nEbqqt)

### Registration tab

* **Open Registration** - Toggle this to open or close registration for your meet.
* **Registration Deadline** - The date and time registration closes. After this, clubs can't submit new registrations unless you've enabled late registration.
* **Approval** - Choose **Auto-approve registrations** to accept entries automatically, or **Manual Approval Required** to review each one yourself.
* **Instructions** - Custom text shown to registrants during the registration process. Use this for special notes or anything clubs need to know.

### Pricing & payments tab

* **Max gymnasts in meet** - A hard limit on the total number of gymnasts across all levels. Once this number is reached, registration closes automatically. Per-level limits are set separately in [Configure levels](/meet-setup/configure-levels-and-categories.md).
* **Currency** - The currency clubs are charged in.
* **Pricing** - Set a price per level, or turn on **Same Price for All Levels** to charge one global price.
* **Late Fees & Refunds** - Turn on **Allow late registrations** to give clubs a window to register after the deadline for an extra fee, and set whether (and until when) clubs can request refunds.

### Waitlist tab

If you expect to hit capacity, turn the waitlist on. Gymnasts who register after the cap is reached land on the waitlist instead of being turned away. Set the **Waitlist Capacity** and any **Waitlist Fee** here.

### Coach Registration tab

If your meet includes coaches, set their registration price and whether a certification number is required on this tab. See [Configure coach levels](/meet-setup/configure-coach-levels.md).

## Things to know

Changes you make here take effect right away. If a club is in the middle of registering, they'll see the updated settings.

Age restrictions (minimum and maximum) are configured in meet-level settings, not in registration settings.

Meet directives and custom instruction sections live under the **General information** tab, not here.
