Registration Form & Custom Fields

Choose what entrants are asked, and add your own fields, deciding who fills each one in.

Both are on the tournament's Registration tab (and in step 3 of the setup wizard). Changes save as you make them.

The registration form

Under Registration form, set Weight (kg), Weight division, Belt / grade and Club each to Compulsory at registration, Optional at registration or Not asked. Date of birth is always compulsory: it works out the age group.

Adding a custom field

1

Name it and pick a type

Under Custom fields, type the label (for example "Coach's name") and choose its type: text, longtext, number, select (a list: type the options, separated by commas), checkbox, date or aptitude (a 1–5 rating).

2

Choose how it's collected

Pick from How is this field collected (below), then click Add field.

3

Changing one later

A field shows its type and how it's collected, with Remove. To change one, remove it and add it again.

The Registration tab: the Registration form's standard fields, then Custom fields with Coach's name (text · optional at registration) and Competitive aptitude (aptitude · a coach or organiser adds it), each with Remove
Two fields: one on the form, one for coaches.

Compulsory at registration

On the registration form; they must fill it in.

Optional at registration

On the registration form; they can leave it blank.

Not on the form — a coach or organiser adds it

Competitors never see it. Their club's coach fills it in from the coach view; this is how competitive aptitude works.

Not on the form — the organiser adds it (before the draw)

Competitors and coaches never see it; only the organiser fills it in.

Not used for this tournament

Kept in the list, but asked nowhere.

Where the values come from

  • The public registration form asks the fields collected at registration.
  • The organiser's Add Athlete form shows every field in use.
  • Coaches fill in the coach fields from their club's page (Clubs & Coaches).
  • A CSV import reads an Aptitude column; other custom fields aren't imported.
  • The Matching tab of an aptitude-matched tournament lets you set a missing aptitude.
An aptitude-matched tournament gets a Competitive aptitude field for coaches by itself. See Aptitude Matching.
