Event Passwords and Bypass Codes restrict access to your event.
Password
First, navigate to the Advanced menu by clicking "Event Setup" then click "Advanced"
Use the “Password” feature in "Advanced" if you want to restrict access to your event and allow only people who have the password to be able to register.
- Once the event director creates a password, they must share the password with prospective participants for participants to be able to register.
- Note: passwords are case-sensitive and do not have an expiration date.
- Use a password to allow early registration for prior-year participants or club members. Once the early registration date has passed, manually return to the Password section, delete the password, and save your changes. Then, anyone can register for your event.
Bypass Code
If you wish to allow a limited number of such entries, create a "Bypass Code." Bypass codes have a limited number of uses and an expiration date.
- First, password protect your event; then, use the bypass code link on the Password page. You can also click "Bypass Code" under “Advanced."
- Event directors can create their own codes, or they can use randomly generated codes for more security. This feature is useful for events with entry standards, such as service or prior results, and also will allow for late registrations to specific participants.
Passwords and bypass codes are different from coupon codes in that there is no fee amount tied to bypass codes and passwords. To provide discounts to participants, use Coupon features.
