account and does take a few days, but once you have that set up, you don’t have to do it again. The Pin Payment system will link to the nominations program and credit card payments are instant. Payment con rmation and the locking in of the shooter’s preferred squad are also instantaneous.
We have found this feature to be excellent, and shooters enjoy the instant con rmation of their squad, rather than needing to wait for EFT payment con rmation which may take 2 to 3 days depending on your bank. I highly recommend signing up for this feature. It is easy, fast and inexpensive, and is essentially the same as the merchant fees you would pay on a credit card transaction anyway. Believe me, your treasurer will love this feature as it makes consolidating payments very simple.
For those of you running the Live Scores system, the nomination program is fully compatible. After your nomination cut o time, all the shooter nominations can be uploaded into the Live Scores program and the squads are ready to go for shoot day. You can print out score sheets and be ready to go way ahead of time.
Overview
Like any new program, the event admin will need to devote some time to learning how the program works and how to use the features. What I will say is that considerable e ort has gone into the nominations program design in order to make it very user friendly, so don’t worry, you don’t need to be a computer programmer in order to make use of it! An hour of playing around with it and I felt con dent that I could use it for a real shoot.
We at Rocky Gully have used this program for our last three club shoots, and we are very, very happy with the results, so much so that we would not even think of going back to the old way of doing things. Our sta in the nominations area are not worn to frazzle at the beginning of the day trying to organise squads and take money, squads can get out and get shooting in a smooth and e cient manner and our kitchen sta can cater appropriately for the number of shooters.
Shooter feedback has been very positive, and we have tried to incorporate more functions that they want. Anyone can see who is nominated in what squad and how many places are left and so can pick a squad they want to shoot in. Those who want to shoot early and leave early can lock that in and those people needing more travel time to get to the club can choose a later squad and arrive later. Everyone’s life is made easier, and isn’t that what its all about?
Access to the Online Nominations program is a free service o ered to every SCA a liated club, so why not try it for your next event? I know you will not regret it.
