Setting the available competition events
If you enter only 1 Event Category, the drop-down menu will not appear, and any registrant who choses that event will also automatically chose the Category. (By Convention, the category is named "All")
When a registrant attempts to sign up for an event+event_category, their age is confirmed to be within the specified Age Range.
Event Choices are the way to collect additional details from registrants. Examples include:
- Coach Name
- Partner Name
- Team Name
- Best Times
- Boolean - A checkbox
- text - A text-entry
- multiple - a drop-down (uses the "multiple values" for the values)
- best_time - A text-entry, which validates that the text enters follows a certain format
Specify the text to be applied to the field
Specify the text to be displayed when the user enters the field, or hovers over the input
Select "optional", if the user can choose not to enter data in this field
Sometimes a piece of data is optional if another piece of data is supplied.
Example: If the user chooses that they would like a "pick-up team" for basketball, they are NOT required to enter a Team Name. Thus, for the "Team Name" Event Choice, the "optional_if: Pick-up_team" should be chosen
This causes the values entered by other registrants to be used to populate the text-field.
CAUTION: This will expose values from all competitors to each other.
