Quick start: get your first car show live in 20 minutes

Click Shows in the sidebar, then click New Show. A tier picker appears first — select Basic (free) to continue.

Fill in the required fields under Show Information:

• Show Name — the public-facing name entrants will see on the registration form.
• Start Date & Time — when gates open, not when registration opens.
• Venue Name — the name of the location (e.g. Riverside Fairgrounds).
• Full Address — the street address shown to entrants and on the public page.

Leave Status set to Draft for now. Description, end date, and programme notes are optional — add them when you're ready.

Click Create Show. You land on the show detail page.

Basic shows are capped at 50 entries. The amber banner at the top of the show page confirms this. If you expect more than 50 vehicles you'll need to upgrade to Expert before you open registration — it's easier to do that now than after entrants have already signed up.

If 50 entries is enough, move on to the next step.

Click the Classes tab. Classes are how entrants self-select their vehicle category at registration — without at least one class, the registration form has no category for entrants to choose.

If you have classes in your library, they appear as buttons under Add from your class library — click any to add it. If your library is empty, click Create a class in your library, add the class, then return to the show and add it.

Repeat for each class you want to offer. You can add more later, even after registration opens.

Click the Edit button at the top of the show page. Change Status from Draft — not visible publicly to Open — accepting registrations. Save the form.

Once the show is Open, a Registration Link button appears in the top-right corner of the show page. Click it to open the public registration form in a new tab, then copy the URL from your browser's address bar.

Share this link wherever your entrants are — club email lists, Facebook groups, Instagram bio, your club website. Anyone with the link can register without needing an account.

The registration form asks for name, email, vehicle year, make, model, colour, and class selection. Entrants can optionally add their state and licence plate. No account is required. On submission they receive a confirmation and their registration is set to Pending in your dashboard.

Open the Registrations tab on your show page. Each new entry arrives as Pending. Use the row actions to set a registration to:

• Confirmed — the entrant has a spot. They keep their place if the show fills up.
• Waitlisted — the entry is in the queue. Promote to Confirmed if a spot opens.
• Withdrawn — the entrant has cancelled.

Use the status filter dropdown to view only Pending or only Confirmed entries. You can also add a walk-in registration manually with the Add Registration button.

Before the event starts, set the show status to Live via the Edit page. This enables the check-in screen.

On the show page, go to the Registrations tab and click Check-In. The check-in screen opens. Type a name or car number into the search box to find an entrant, then tap their row and confirm the check-in. The entry status updates to Checked In immediately.

Need to add a walk-in on the day? Use Add Registration from either the Registrations tab or the check-in screen to create the entry and check it in at the same time.

When the event is finished, set the show status to Completedvia the Edit page. This closes the registration form and the check-in screen.

To export your entry data, open the Registrations tab and click Export CSV. The file includes every registration with name, vehicle details, class, status, check-in timestamp, and payment status. Use it for your records, your committee report, or next year's mailing list.
