Entries

   

Tournament Entry is a vital subject for organisers who suffer much worry due to the lateness of many players' entries.

Unfortunately anything that is done to encourage players to enter early, may also prevent them entering at all. There are various schemes to do this, the most notable being financial discounts or more choice of accomodation.

A few points

  • Cut-off dates should be realistic.
  • Make entry as easy as possible.
  • Provide a system where the entrant gets confirmation that his entry has been received and state that this will happen within a specified period (eg 7 days).
  • Provide both paper and internet methods of entering.
  • Consider keeping the list of who has registered available for all to see whilst not making confidential information public.
  • Try to explain any web based forms for entry clearly. Often something unexpected happens and people end up registering twice (or even three times) a few minutes apart. Ideally provide a "this is what you've requested" page with the ability to cancel, edit or confirm.

A postal Confirmation note should include travel directions to the site and also general tourist information about the country/region/location.
