Competitions
/dashboard/competitionsCompetitions is built for feis-style schools that front fees to organizers and recover them from families. It tracks what you have paid out, what you have recovered, and what is still owed — per event, per dancer, and per fee type (entry, coaching, costume, and more).
Fee types
In Settings → Page content, define the fee types your studio uses — Entry fee and Coaching fee are seeded by default, and you can add costume, travel, or anything else. Each type can have an optional default amount that prefills when you bill a dancer.
Running an event
- 1Create a competition with its name, location, and dates.
- 2Open the event to record the amount you paid the organizer and to add entries for each dancer and category.
- 3On each entry, add one or more fees (entry, coaching, costume, …). Each fee becomes its own reimbursement charge.
- 4As families pay you back, mark each fee reimbursed — this sends them a receipt, and your admins get the studio's 'New payment received' alert just like for any other payment.
- 5Watch the event's four totals — fronted, billed, recovered, and outstanding — to know exactly where you stand.
Note. Adding, editing, and deleting competitions is admin-only, and an event with reimbursed fees warns you before deletion so you do not lose financial history.
On the iPhone app
iPhone appCompetitions (under More) lists every event with its location, date, and entry count. Create an event with New competition, then open it to record entries, add each entry's fees, and mark them reimbursed as families pay you back — useful at the feis itself, where the laptop usually isn't.
