Event Editor

Overview

The Event Editor allows Regatta Administrators to configure specifics for each event within the regatta.  This tool allows admins to set up specific parameters for regattas that have specific needs across a variety of events and rules.  To access the Event Editor, select an event from the Edit screen in the Event List - the event editor box will pop up at which point users can move through the different tabs described below to configure events.  


NOTE: Changes made in the event editor only apply to the specific event that was selected, not applied across multiple or all events at once.
