Organize awesome events.Our all-in-one event management software keeps organizers sane & attendees happy.

Ever get frustrated with your attendees because they don't read your registration form and ignore all your directions?  Good news, setting up validation rules can help steer them down the right path and save you time.  Bad news, we still haven't cracked the code on making your attendees read what's in front of them!

Validation rules are a powerful way of checking for registration conditions and taking action. A broad selection of rules let you enforce specific rules and policies with great precision.  They are most commonly used for:

• Enforcing race compliance fees

• Requiring valid membership or preventing non-members from registering

• Enforcing base and indexed/PAX classes for auto-cross

• Verifying that a race transponder is on file

• Checking the vehicle make for marque-specific events

• Making sure guest names are filled out for additional tickets

• And more!

A few weeks ago we hosted our most successful webinar yet, 7 Killer Tips on Filling Your Events.  And this past weekend we presented it again before a very enthusiastic crowd at the SCCA National Convention.  In case you missed it you can check out the recording here.  And you can download the slides here.

Over the past 10 years we’ve worked with nearly 400 different car clubs, sanctioning bodies, kart clubs, race tracks, and motorcycle clubs, and we’ve picked up a few tips on how to get more drivers attending your events.  We’ll share all the juicy details in our upcoming webinar:

7 Killer Tips on Filling Your Events
Friday, February 22, 2013
10 am PST/ 1 pm EST

It doesn’t matter if you’re running a club race, auto cross, concours, rally, drivers school or anything in between, this webinar will provide you with some tangible action-items that will help fill your event.  Register today to get in on the action!

We’re happy to say that our first webinar of 2013 was a success!  What better way to start off the weekend than by learning how you can save time on event registration in order to do more important things; like perhaps cheer on our local San Francisco 49ers in the Super Bowl this weekend (go Niners!).

In case you missed it, here’s a brief overview of the 6 Features to Get You to the Finish Line Faster:

1. Private Landing Pages

All organizations on the Premium Plan are entitled to a private landing page with your own URL (yournamehere.motorsportreg.com). This page will always list your current MSR events.  No need to update anything.  We do it all for you!  And if you collect your membership dues using MSR, those “events” will be listed at the top of your page.

2. Deferred Payments

Using deferred payments is similar to using your credit card to book a hotel.  When you make your hotel reservation, you put your credit card on file to hold the reservation. And then once your stay is complete, your card is charged.  This same methodology can be used in MSR for an attendee to book a spot in an event.  Using deferred payments gives you the organizer the flexibility to charge the card whenever you want.  This can save you time from issuing refunds if an attendee cancels.  And generally, people register earlier and more often because there’s no penalty for cancelling which provides you more visibility into who’s attending your events.

3. Elections and Surveys

MSR provides an easy and confidential way for you to hold your elections online.  If you’re currently using paper ballots for your elections, this feature will save you time and money!  And our survey feature allows you to easily ask for feedback from your attendees and members.

4. Google Analytics Integration

Google Analytics does many things, but in general, it monitors your website traffic.  This valuable information can help you determine the best ways to market your events and get more attendees by telling you where your web traffic is coming from and what keywords people are searching for to find you.  You can integrate your events in MSR with Google Analytics which provides a wealth of information.  For example it can help you determine where people are coming from that register for your events.  We’re working on an e-book on how to effectively use Google Analytics and MSR, so keep your eyes posted to our blog!

5. Custom Member Types

Creating your own member types allows you to segment your database of members and then use that information to build reports, send emails or customize your registration form.  Some common member types that our users typically build include: volunteers, stewards, teens, workers, coach, T&S, F&C, solo approved drivers, etc.

6. Membership Validation

Rather than verify your members manually, you can use MSR to do it for you automatically.  We already have system integrations in place with the national organizations of SCCA, BMWCCA, PCA, Audi, and MBCA which makes this process much easier for you.  And if you don’t belong to one of those organizations, you can simply upload a member file to our system and we’ll verify against the file.

7. BONUS- Wordpress/Joomla Plugin

We couldn’t stop at just 6 time-saving features, so we threw in a bonus!  If your website is running on Wordpress or Joomla (60% chance it is) you can use our plugin to automatically list your events on your website.  No need to update or monitor.  The plugin does it all!
