Besides signing up for races, Webscorer online reg can be used to sign up for club memberships. The author of this article is a director for Seattle Nordic, a new cross-country ski club in the US Northwest - and we use Webscorer as the club registration system. Our club organizes weekly training sessions, ski clinics, group travel to events and a few club races each year.
Our club had the following objectives for the membership registration:
1. We wanted to offer 2 types of memberships
- Individual membership ($30 / year)
- Family membership ($50 / year)
2. For insurance purposes, we needed each member to sign their own waiver
- For family memberships, we needed both parents to sign
- Parents would need to sign for children under 18
3. Our objective was to be able to use Webscorer as the club email system
- We wanted each family member to enter their own email address
- And we needed to get everyone’s name, age, gender etc. for a complete club member database
4. To sign up online for club events, we wanted to be able to check for a valid membership
- We allow club members to organize events, with online reg via Webscorer
- To stay within our insurance coverage, we require all participants to be members
Here’s how we set up the registration:
Reg #1 for the membership payment: https://www.webscorer.com/register?pid=1&raceid=120643
Reg #2 for member details & waiver: https://www.webscorer.com/register?pid=1&raceid=120638
We then tied the two together via a series reg: https://www.webscorer.com/registerseries?seriesid=131795
We set "Event visibility = Public" only for the series reg (the other 2 are set as "Private") so that everyone starts on the series reg page.
Here’s a club event that checks for membership: https://www.webscorer.com/register?pid=1&raceid=132499
Send a note to support@webscorer.com if you want to learn more details - we can copy the reg templates to your Webscorer account as a starting point.
