Organiser update -Implementing 2013 on line entries correctly
Posted: 06/01/13
We recently tried to circulate the below information and reminders to all organisers.
As we may have missed some organisers who are considering events for 2013, and to help ensure that we reach all organisers this News update contains the same information.
We hope to implement a Membership profile option on the website soon that will enable Members wishing to receive future Organiser emails to opt-in for future communications. We will update you when this is available.
2013 Membership and Day Rider Registration Implementation:
1. The day rider form can now be downloaded from the downloads page on the website: http://www.bmbo.org.uk/downloads/
2. You will need this for events in 2013 in line with the new Day Rider registration option.
3. All clubs using online entry will need to check their entry fees on their event listing due to the changes made to the membership structure. The new BMBO Member 2013, Under 21 and Day Rider option need to each have your required pricing specified to ensure riders are charged correctly.
4. John has updated all the events on the calendar up to the end of February. Please check these are as you require and update your events beyond March 1st
5. Before making any other events live for online entry if you have already put them onto the calendar as draft, you will need to update the pricing structure for this year’s categories.
Posting events on calendar tips to get the most from the web site functionality
1. Many clubs have events on the calendar which are not assigned to your club using the drop down menu. Potential riders cannot search for your club events if you do not list them under your club and leave that field blank. We will be changing the CLUB drop down menu to sort them alphabetically.
2. Leagues - some clubs do create leagues for their events. However frequently events are missing from the league. Potential riders will find all your league events if you tag them.
3. By using leagues and club information, you will be able to embed hot links to your events from your website to BMBO. Try copy and pasting this link into your browser:
http://www.bmbo.org.uk/calendar/?start=All&league_id=57&format_id=
Using this functionality brings up all the events in one league allowing entry to them directly by your potential riders directly from your own website. Embed that url into a button on your website saying enter league here. We will add a Club search so that you can have a permanent link to all your live club events.
