A registration link lets players sign themselves up online for a part. You share the link via WhatsApp, email, your club page or social media. Anyone who opens the link fills in their own details and then appears straight away in your participant list. No more copying names from a group chat or spreadsheet.
Every part has its own link
In Slams you register per part, not per event. So a tournament with a 6/7 group and an 8/9 group has two separate registration links, each with its own participants and entry fee. That way players end up in exactly the right group. If you work with multiple levels or formats within one event, also read Event with multiple parts.
The link always points to the public part page: slams.app/clubs/your-club/competition/part. On that page players see the date, the location, the entry fee and the button to register.
What a player fills in
The player fills in their name and email address (phone number is optional). For pair formats like a tournament or league, the person registering also fills in their partner's details and an optional team name. If someone does not have a partner yet, they can sign up using the find a partner option. Slams then tries to automatically match two people who are looking.
- Free part: the registration is confirmed immediately and the player receives a confirmation email.
- Paid part: the player pays via iDEAL or card, and the registration only counts once the payment has gone through. To set this up, first connect a payment method and set the entry fee.
An email address can only register once per part. A duplicate registration is automatically declined.
When the link works
Registering is only possible while registration is open. If the part is still a draft or registration is closed, the link does not work and the player sees a message. A passed registration deadline also closes registration. So set the part to public and make sure registration is open before you send the link around.
If you have set a maximum number of teams and the part is full, new registrations go onto the waiting list if you have enabled it. Otherwise players will see that the part is full.
Who may see the link
The visibility of a part determines who can use the link:
- Public: anyone can view the page and register, and the part also appears in the public lists on your club page.
- Via link: only people who have the link reach the page, but the part does not appear in the public lists. Handy for a private registration.
- Members: only logged-in members of your club can open the page.
You can read more about this in Visibility and access.
Tracking registrations
All incoming registrations appear with the part in your dashboard. There you see who has signed up, who has paid and who is on the waiting list. From there you create the teams or let Slams do it automatically. See Managing registrations.
