<div style="overflow-wrap: break-word;">It was mentioned as a part of the overall changes I was working on last year. The label on the paperwork isn’t as important as the content is.

First, I meant Classification, not Event Type, you already list the Event Type, LARP. <br></div><div><br></div><div>I think that several of us are getting crossed streams on this. What you're now calling "Classification" <i>was</i> called "Event Type" in the past. My signup sheets have that, and "Tournament" is the default setting for those. I see now that it's marked as Classification instead of Event Type pretty much everywhere in the system, but I don't know when that change happened, or if it was announced. I'll update my sheets accordingly. <br></div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Thu, Jan 30, 2020 at 11:17 PM Strategicon Department Heads <<a href="mailto:deptheads@strategicon.net" target="_blank">deptheads@strategicon.net</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">Message From: Tanya Aldrich <a href="mailto:taldrich@strategicon.net" target="_blank">taldrich@strategicon.net</a><br>
<div>Hi Tara,<div><br></div><div>First, I meant Classification, not Event Type, you already list the Event Type, LARP.</div><div><br></div><div>I understand. Adding the data of the Classification to the end of the Title is fine. It does need to be from the field though. The classification is not supposed to be in the Title on the site, because then it displays twice. Also, based on Gateway 2019 the title is not listing “Special” and I’m assuming “Sponsored”, if you had any.</div><div><br></div><div>I’m thinking of offering a checkbox to remove “Event” from the Classification when it’s not special or sponsored. This should clean up paperwork for departments that merge the title and classification, like yours. I’ll try to implement it soon.</div><div><br></div><div>Can I assume you use the Sign-Up Sheet Event Lists to get your data? If not, let me know what.</div><div><br></div><div>Tanya</div><div><br></div><div><div><blockquote type="cite"><div>On Jan 30, 2020, at 10:12 PM, Strategicon Department Heads <<a href="mailto:deptheads@strategicon.net" target="_blank">deptheads@strategicon.net</a>> wrote:</div><br><div><span style="font-family:Helvetica;font-size:13px;font-style:normal;font-variant-caps:normal;font-weight:normal;letter-spacing:normal;text-align:start;text-indent:0px;text-transform:none;white-space:normal;word-spacing:0px;float:none;display:inline">Message From: Tara Leederman </span><a href="mailto:taleederman@gmail.com" style="color:blue;text-decoration:underline;font-family:Helvetica;font-size:13px;font-style:normal;font-variant-caps:normal;font-weight:normal;letter-spacing:normal;text-align:start;text-indent:0px;text-transform:none;white-space:normal;word-spacing:0px" target="_blank">taleederman@gmail.com</a><br style="font-family:Helvetica;font-size:13px;font-style:normal;font-variant-caps:normal;font-weight:normal;letter-spacing:normal;text-align:start;text-indent:0px;text-transform:none;white-space:normal;word-spacing:0px"><div style="font-family:Helvetica;font-size:13px;font-style:normal;font-variant-caps:normal;font-weight:normal;letter-spacing:normal;text-align:start;text-indent:0px;text-transform:none;white-space:normal;word-spacing:0px"><div style="margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt;font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif">Hi Tanya,<u></u><u></u></div><div style="margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt;font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif"><u></u> <u></u></div><div style="margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt;font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif">I do believe I mentioned this around Gateway when you first mentioned the issue.<u></u><u></u></div><div style="margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt;font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif"><u></u> <u></u></div><div style="margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt;font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif">Space on my sheets is at a premium, as LARPs need to proffer a lot of information to players.
