Can registrants also be required to enter a PR?

asked May 23, 2016 in Online registration by Aron Hemel
As an organization, we would like to create startgroups based on performance. At 1 competition, we are now emailing after almost every athlete to get performance entered. Is there an option to already require the athletes to fill these out at registration?

Update (January 4, 2017):
You can recently make specifying a PR mandatory.
You can do this by, as an administrator, using the right-hand drop-down menu --> 'Online registration settings' --> "Mandatory specified best performance period" to specify a start and end date by which the athlete must have achieved the performance.

Once you set a start and end date, it becomes mandatory for registrants to fill in all fields for their best performance.

 

We have had these fields mandatory in the past, resulting in registrants entering nonsense/random numbers.

So we are no longer mandating these fields. An athlete/registrant usually disadvantages himself/herself by not filling it out correctly, because it puts him/her in a less enjoyable heat (i.e., no heat with equivalent competitors).

Great! We will test this in the coming season.
