[Deptheads] Waitlist/Alternative Players

[Strategicon Department Heads]

Hi All,

Given that virtual events means more events have limits, I figured that we really needed to have the ability to offer a waitlist for events. The default will be 2 and is only valid for events listed as Virtual. It is currently only visible on the Event Pre-Reg page. I will add it to the run and edit event pages as soon as I can.

Now here is the rub. While adding the waitlist layer to the Pre-reg page was relatively easy, adding it as a separate approved list is not. So, once an event has reached max capacity, anyone in the “Pending” list will have to remain there to be considered waitlisted; don’t approve them. The code should stop anyone from signing up once the combined event max and waitlist max is reached.

As for GMs being able to email pending players, that was already handled. The GM will know the status of every player signed-up for their event. Once the event is at max, they will know which players are their alternates. And they can email whichever players they like, so they could send one email to the approved players and a different one the the pending/waitlisted players.

Any questions or concerns, please email me.

Tanya
