Registration, teams and captains

Choose how players join

In the event builder, the Registration step offers Open sign-ups, where players register themselves until the field fills, or Host-assembled, where you add every player or team yourself. Card payment is only offered with Open sign-ups.

Let one golfer sign up a group

Open People, then Roster, and scroll to Registration setup. Under Group sign-ups, Players per sign-up runs from Solo only to Up to 4. Each person added gets an email to confirm, and Hold an invited spot for keeps their spot for 1 to 7 days (3 by default). On card events you can also tick Let one person pay for the whole group. Tap Save.

Team registration with captains

On a team registration event, golfers see a Build a team button (for example, Build a 2-player team) instead of Register. The Member-Member template sets this up when you choose Open sign-ups and, under How teams form, Bring a partner or Either. The captain then:

1. Taps the Build a team button, enters a Team name, ticks the acknowledgement and taps Create team.
2. Under Add teammate, picks Perch member to search and tap Invite, or Guest (name only) to type a name and tap Add.
3. Adds a guest's email to send them a confirm and pay link. The button then reads Send invite.
4. Taps Confirm team once the team is full. This locks the roster, and later changes go through you.

Build teams yourself

For other team events, open People, then Teams. Add teams by name and assign players from your confirmed roster, or use Auto-generate teams: Balanced by estimated handicap, or Random.

Add golfers who don't have an account

You can add walk-ups even after registration closes, and guests count toward your plan's player limit. On a card event a guest has no checkout, so collect their entry another way.

1. Open People, then Roster, and tap + Add walk-up player.
2. Type the name. If they're on Perch, tap Add next to them. If not, tap Add guest.
3. Optionally add an Email so they can claim their spot later, and an Estimated handicap for flights and net scoring.

Open your sign-up page

A new event starts as a Draft only you can see. In the Event Details strip on the event page, tap the status and choose Published, then Registration open.

Your public page, listed under People as Reg page, shows the course, date, format, entry, field and closing date with a Register button. It changes to Join the waitlist once you're full. Golfers sign in or create a Perch account to register. Registration setup also holds Registration questions, a Liability waiver and an 18+ requirement.
