Competition — registering skaters#

When the organizer opens registration, the competition appears on the front page (a bar at the top, a Competition menu item and a card in the results section) and has its own page. Nothing is shown while registration is closed.

The competition page#

It shows dates, venue, registration deadline, entry fee (first category, and each extra category), cancellation and music deadlines, the categories with their requirements, and two buttons: Register a skater and Register a group (coach / club).

Registering one skater#

1. First and last name, nationality, date of birth.
2. Club — start typing: you get clubs from earlier competitions (short or full name) and clubs from the Skating Database. Choosing one fills in the country. A club that is nowhere: type it and choose its country — the organizer confirms it. Or tick Individual, no club.
3. Category — after the date of birth, the categories that fit the birth year are listed first. Some categories have a strict birth rule (others are only checked by the organizer). The category's requirements are shown under it.
4. Also competes in (optional) — more categories. The entry fee box updates at once (first category + each extra one).
5. E-mail and phone, news consent (optional), accept the rules → Register.

What happens: you see a confirmation page and get an e-mail with the categories and fee; the organizer and administrators are notified; the registration waits in the organizer's inbox as New. After approval you get payment instructions and the music deadline.

On a phone the form is one column:

Registering a group (coaches and club organizers)#

1. Register a group → your name, coach or club organizer, e-mail, phone and your club (same club search).
2. What happens: the organizer is notified and validates you for that club. Then you get an e-mail with a personal group link.

Your personal group link — how it is protected#

• The link contains a long random key; only a fingerprint of it is stored, so nobody can rebuild it.
• It works once: you press Continue and this device stays logged in to your group for 30 days. Opened again, it says "This link no longer works".
• A new link cancels the older unused ones. Links expire (7 days, or 24 hours when requested again).
• Lost it / new phone? → Get my group link → enter your e-mail → a new link (same answer whether or not the address is known).
• On your group page: Log out everywhere ends every session at once. The organizer can also block access.
• The group page address itself is a random key, never a number.

The group page#

At the top you see the stage of your group: Preparing → Sent for approval → Approved (or Changes requested with the organizer's message).

1. Add a skater — name, nationality, date of birth, category and also competes in. Club and contact come from the group. New skaters are Draft — not sent: the organizer does not see them yet.
2. The Ready to send? box shows: skaters, not sent yet, sent/approved, group entry fees, warnings (✕ a strict category does not fit — fix it first; ⚠ the organizer will check).
3. Send N skaters for approval → the organizer is notified and you get a summary e-mail. You can still edit them until they are approved.
4. If the organizer asks for changes, you get an e-mail, the page shows the message; fix and Send the group for approval again.
5. When approved you get an e-mail with the group total; payment instructions follow.

Music#

♪ Music next to each skater: one piece per category and program. Choose the file — the length is measured at once in the browser (✓ 2:48 fits / ✕ 3:05 — 15 s too long) and again on the server (that value counts). MP3, M4A, WAV, FLAC or OGG, up to 20 MB. You can play, download or replace it until the music deadline; after it, only the organizer can.
