How pricing tiers work
Pricing tiers let you temporarily override the base price and division prices during a specific date window. This is how you run promotions like early bird discounts or late registration surcharges. This only applies when you use GGS Registration.
Create a pricing tier
Create tiers after the event exists. Your regular prices stay as the event's base price and division prices, so you only need tiers for the windows that differ.
Open your event, tap Host Dashboard, and go to the Settings tab.
Tap Event Settings, then Pricing Configuration.
Under Add New Pricing Tier, fill in the fields below.
Tap Save Pricing Tier.
Field | What it means |
|---|---|
Tier Name | A label players see at checkout, such as "Early Bird" or "Late Registration". Required. |
Start Date | The day the tier starts. You can pick today or any day up to a year ahead. |
End Date | The tier stops applying when this day begins, so pick the day after the last day of the promotion. Must be after the Start Date. |
Tournament Price ($) | The base price during this window. Required; enter 0 for no base price. |
Division-Specific Prices (Optional) | One price field per division. Leave a division blank to keep its regular price. |
Tiers can't be edited. To change one, delete it under Existing Pricing Tiers and create it again.
How pricing tiers work in practice
Outside every tier's dates, players pay the event's regular base price and division prices.
During a tier, its prices replace the regular ones automatically. At checkout, players see the tier name and its end date, for example "Early Bird pricing until Jul 1".
A division price in a tier replaces that division's regular price. Pair sign-up divisions still charge it for both players (2×).
Tiers can't overlap or share a day. If a new tier's dates touch an existing tier's dates, saving fails and names the conflicting tier. Delete it first or choose different dates.
Tiers apply to non-members only. Club members always pay their membership pricing and the regular division prices, whatever tier is running.
Tiers don't apply to league drop-in dates, which always charge the per-date drop-in price.
Because members skip tiers, an Early Bird price below your member pricing means members pay more than non-members during that window. Check your member pricing before you set a discount tier.
Example: early bird and late registration
Say your tournament is on August 15, with these regular prices:
Base price: $40
Men's Singles: $20 on top of the base price
Mixed Doubles: $25 on top of the base price
Create two tiers. July uses the regular prices, so it needs no tier.
Tier | Start Date / End Date | Tournament Price | Men's Singles | Mixed Doubles |
|---|---|---|---|---|
Early Bird | Jun 1 / Jul 1 (covers June) | $30 | $15 | $20 |
Late Registration | Aug 2 / Aug 15 (covers Aug 2 to 14) | $50 | $25 | $30 |
A non-member registering on June 15 for both divisions pays: $30 + $15 + $20 + fees = $65 + fees
A non-member registering on July 10 for Men's Singles pays: $40 + $20 + fees = $60 + fees
A non-member registering on August 5 for Men's Singles pays: $50 + $25 + fees = $75 + fees
Other settings in Pricing Configuration
Three more settings live alongside pricing tiers:
Maximum Divisions per Registration: limits how many divisions one player can sign up for. If set to 2, a player can register for at most 2 of your divisions.
Registration Window: when registration opens and closes for this event. It starts from your club's defaults; set a one-off window here for this event.
Registration Cutoff Date: one deadline across all divisions. If both this and the registration window's closing time are set, whichever comes first closes registration.
