Completed Tasks
| A feature has been added to the Mass Email tool, allowing you to set a default email sender for users who have access to send from multiple email addresses. This enables you to pre-select a default 'From Email' or specify different default emails for each of your club and event pages. | November 1, 2024 | |
| Added a new feature that allows you to charge a fee for registrants who are competing in a relay team only. Find this under '03: Entry Information' > 'Advanced Settings,' then 'Additional Settings.' Look for the option 'Require team members for relays,' and at the bottom of that popup, you'll see 'Charge entry fee for those participating in only relays.' | November 1, 2024 | |

| For clubs under a PTSO that uses our system, we’ve added a new feature that allows you to restrict registration to returning members only.

You can watch a video demonstrating how this new feature works here. | September 7, 2024 | |
