Before you create your event(s) on SportsReg, you must create an organiser account. You can do this here . Here you will need to fill out information about yourself, your club and your account number; the latter is required so that we can pay money to you. Your information is completely safe with us.

Once you have registered your account, you will be sent directly to the SportsReg system as an administrator. Here you will be able to create your event(s). Once you have created your first event, you can start receiving sign-ups and any payments straight away - simply share the link to your event on the relevant channels.

User guides are available on request, please contact us to request a copy.

It is free to sign up to SportsReg, and you can get a feel for the system with no financial obligation.

The fee per individual registration is £1 (including VAT) and a 3.5% payment processing fee.

You can download reports including weekly settlement reports of our pay-outs to you.

You will be able to export registers of your attendees to Excel at the click of a button, with the option to export an overall registrations list or tailored lists per event.

Credits are our internal 'currency' and are used for two things.

If you are running a free event and receive free sign-ups, since we do not have any amount to deduct our fees on free subscriptions, you must pre-purchase credits to be able to receive subscriptions for a free event. 1 credit costs £1 (including VAT), and one registration costs 1 credit.

If you wish to send an SMS from the system, you will also require credits. It costs 6p to send a text, with a character limit of 320 (after which point you will be charged for two SMS messages).

You can promote your event on your social channels using the relevant link to increase participants and gain a larger number of players/attendees. If you would like us to share your events on our channels, please contact us and we will gladly assist.

If you are having trouble logging in, we recommend that you double-check that you are using the correct email address. If you are but are notified of 'Wrong email address/password', you can select 'Forgotten password'. You will then receive an email with a password reset link. If you cannot locate the email, please check your junk and/or spam folders.

You can send both email and SMS messages to participants registered onto your event. You can find this on the event page under 'Communication Tools.' You can send emails through the communication tools at no additional charge, however the sending of an SMS costs 6p (subject to a 320-character limit, after which point it will be charged as two SMS messages). You can also schedule email and SMS alerts to send automatically, please contact us if you wish to use this module.

You can reuse your old events as a template for future events. From the menu on the left side, select 'Add/Copy' and then 'Copy Previous' to reuse a previously registered event. You will then be able to choose from any previous event, from a menu which is sorted yearly. You can then amend the details of the event to match the requirements of your new one, whilst saving time on the areas that do not need to be changed.

Yes, you can refund a participant on our system by locating the registration, as refunding as either a Credit/Debit Card refund or a Cash/Cheque refund.

A Credit/Debit Card refund will process the money back to the participant, subject to the registration fee. Here you will have 3 options; you can choose to absorb the registration fee, you can refund the customer for all the money minus the registration fee (meaning your organisation does not lose out) or you can refund a specified manual amount. Refunding a participant will remove their registration and move it into the refund list. A Credit/Debit card refund is subject to your organisation having enough money in your 'SportsReg-account', as once we have paid out funds to your bank account (on a weekly basis) you will need to wait until you receive more funds to be able to refund using this method.

A Cash/Cheque refund will remove the registration from the list and move it to the refund report, after which you can arrange the offline means of refunding the participant.

Yes, SportsReg runs from a secure HTTPs domain, meaning that all communication between the users and the website is safe and secure.
