How can I generate an invoice for 4 players that I added manually?
When adding players manually from the backend, there is no invoice created. You would need to go through the website and register on their behalf to generate an invoice. You can enable Cash/Check payment methods under My Event -> Event Setup & Settings (with the Event Caddy PRO upgrade) to complete the transaction without immediate payment required.
How can I prevent sponsors from sharing registration links when sending them an email with free spots and the option to buy extra spots?
There isn't a foolproof way to stop sponsors from passing the link on to others, other than keeping an eye on the transactions as they are completed. You can include a request in the email asking them not to share the link. In the past, people have been mostly trustworthy, and it shouldn't be a major concern.
