Setting up a scoreboard

Tips:

• The scoreboard is not a default and you need to set it up if you want to enable this function.
• You can have up to six different scoreboards to show top fundraisers with the most donations or the most sponsors.
• You can change the look of your scoreboards by selecting your own fonts and colours, plus you can choose to make scoreboard entries interactive, where users can click on a scoreboard entry for more information.

Sample:

Step 1 Click on Widgets

In the Scoreboard section, click Manage

Step 2 Create Permission Questions

Display Text for Permission Question – Enter the permission question your registrants will see. If this is left blank, the question will not appear and by default no permission will be given.

• Proxy Registrant – Top Individuals: requesting permission to publish the proxy registrants name on the scoreboard.  (Register Others)
• Top Teams: requesting permission to publish the teams name on the scoreboard.
• Set opt-in as the default for the scoreboard permission question, put a check mark in this box if you want the default to be that permission is given unless the registrant unchecks the box when registering.

Scoreboard Display Name

• If enabled, registrants are asked to type in a Display Name for the scoreboard on the Additional Information page during the initial registration process.
