Event Segments

A segment is one part of an event where sporting activity takes places. A segment could be part of a day, or it could be multiple days. Every event must contain at least one segment. 

For example, a simple event might have two segments:

• a Saturday test day
• a Sunday race day

Whereas a more complex event might have multiple segments:

• a circuit race event that spans Saturday and Sunday
• an practice day on Friday
• another optional practice day on Thursday
• additional activities such as a Rally on Saturday morning and another Rally on Saturday afternoon
• an Autosolo on Friday

Settings

The following settings have been moved to the segment level:

• Class Settings (which classes are in the event)
• Entry Settings (maximum classes, age restrictions, membership restrictions)
• Financial Settings (accounting codes, payment duration)

Creating Segments

We're releasing the event segments functionality in two stages:

• Stage one is putting the architecture in place - you won't be able to add new segments just yet
• Stage two is giving you the ability to add multiple segments to your events

We have added a default segment for each of your events.

You do not have to create multiple segments, but doing so brings the following benefits:

• one place to manage every segment in your event
• simplified pricing structures
• reduced configuration of waivers
• reduced event administration time

And for your customers, multiple segments means:

• a simplified entry process
• one entry form to complete
• one waiver to sign
• one place to manage multiple segment entries
