Using Multi-Registration Fees

There are two types of basic registration fees within Regatta Network, a regular registration fee creates the fee drop down, you are probably used to: 
As the entrants register, they are displayed as a single group on the Edit Event Entries console, without delineation of the fee selected: 
With multi-registration fees, the entrant is presented a series of check-box options during the registration process.  They can select one, two or any multiple of fees during registration: 
And the entrants are delineated by the fees they have selected on the Edit Event Entries console.  So one registration may result in multiple listings for the entrant based on each fee they have selected: 
 
Multi-Registration fees are useful for series races, or sailing classes and camps.  This allows the entrant to select the specific events they with to attend on a single registration.  It also allows the event admin to easily move an entrant from one "event" to another provided they are priced the same: 
 There are specific caveats regarding multi-registration fees: 
  • Because of the changes in the Edit Event Entries presentation, multi-registration fees can not be combined with regular registration fees.  
  • Once an event has begun accepting registrations with one type of fee, either multi-registration or regular registration fee, it can not be changed over to the other type. 
Provided you keep these in mind, the multi-registration fee can make signing up for your events easier for the entrant and easier for you to manage.
