Updates to Online Registration (MSR)
Posted: Sun Jan 21, 2018 5:48 pm
Better late than never. I’m going to be posting a list of updates to MotosportReg online registration as the year progresses. This will hopefully highlight the how and why behind the changes to MSR. Eventually I will also be positing a video of how to register and the options.
The main reason we are now using MSR for Sunday check-in instead of using our timing system is to automatically track changes, payments, and registrations. This allows the club to easily take both credit cards and cash while having a total to balance against. Before, this was a laborious and cumbersome process that required additional steps by registration for every person. Now it is automatic and reduces the workload for our registration volunteers, while giving us additional data to better serve our members.

-Merged practice and weekend events because people that were buying a weekend membership for Saturday were also being required to buy a weekend membership for Sunday. Weekend Memberships cost the region money, so in order to allow refunds for people who do not attend Sunday we process them after the event. * Merged events also allow the treasurer to see in one report exactly how many unique drivers attended so they can file our scca sanction audit in a timely manner with 100% accuracy.
-Placed individual packages under groups to create a cleaner look. Now only when you click on a package does the information pop-up.
-Co-Driver practice package added. This was added because this requires co-drivers to register formally with MSR, which automatically checks SCCA member roles, which forces a co-driver to purchase a weekend membership if they don’t have one, automatically. In addition to collects emergency contact information for that co-driver.
-Added Walk-up Registration packages. Now if someone wants to walk up to register they could use their phone to do so, saving them time when checking in. Pre-Reg packages automatically hide and Walk-Up packages become present.
-X Runs added for Registration officials to add during registration in the morning.
-Added X-Run Class to be selected with appropriate pax modifier.
-Placed individual Packages under the Sunday registration to better track which packages we are selling. (Adult, Student Jr)
