Ride Master

Ride Essentials
- Ride Name: (Required) A short, descriptive name. This will appear on the Ride Master home page, in correspondence with the rider, etc.
- Short Description: (Optional) About 40 words or less describing your ride. This text appears in a tooltip window as the user hovers over the ride name on the Ride Master home page. Short and sweet. No novels. Save that for your ride's website.
- Registration Begin Date: (Required) When does registration begin?
- Registration End Date: (Required) When does registration end?
- Web Page: (Required) The ride's webpage. Ride Master is not a replacement for your ride's webpage. It's only an online rider management system. The ride webpage should be used for the vast majority of ride information.
Release/Waiver and Disclaimers
The release/waiver and disclaimers work hand in hand. Ride Master only displays the release/waiver to the registrant during the registration process. Disclaimers are used to ensure the registrant has read and understands the release waiver.

The release/waiver and disclaimers are optional, but if your ride has a release/waiver, the ride must have at least one disclaimer. If your ride doesn't have a release/waiver, it can still have disclaimers.
Rider Classes
Rider classes allow you to group riders together. For instance, if your ride is a rally, you may have 12-hour and 24-hour rally riders. Or you may choose to group your riders into novice and expert classes.

Rider classes are optional.
Prerequisites
Prerequisites are associated with each rider class. If the ride requires prerequisites, the ride must have at least one rider class. Each rider class can have zero or more prerequisites.
Fee Schedule

The ride's fee schedule is optional. A fee schedule is composed of items (e.g. registation fee, shirt fees, banquet tickets, etc). Each item has the following attributes:
- Description: (Required) A short description of the item. Keep it short.
- Price: (Required) How much does each item cost?
- Small Picture URL: (Optional) This picture is displayed when the registrant views the ride's fee schedule. Keep this picture small - somewhere around 60x60 pixels. Otherwise, the fees page is too much.
- Large Picture URL: (Optional) If there's a small picture URL, the user can click it to display the large picture URL. This image can be as big as you like.
- Default Quantity: (Required) Usually this is one, but it can be any number.
- Enabled?: Enabled items can be purchased. Disabled items cannot. This flag allows you to control the timeframe in which an item may be purchased.
- Mandatory?: Does the registrant have to purchase this item? This is useful for registration fees and other mandatory fee items.
- Enable Size?: Should Ride Master display sizing information? Useful for shirt fee items.
- Enable Quantity?: Should Ride Master allow the registrant to modify the quantity purchased?
If you supply refund policy text, the system will display a link to registrants on the fees page.
