Quick Steps to Success
Here’s a quick look at how Bound simplifies the process:
Send This Year’s Invoice
Use the Event Post feature in Bound to send out this year’s invoices as a friendly reminder to all stakeholders.
Copy Forward Next Year’s Event
Copy this year’s event settings with a few simple clicks.
Verify next year’s date—Bound allows for custom or corresponding dates.
Fine-tune your event by adding or removing teams and competitions.
Send Contracts and Invite Teams
Verify the contract amounts for each event or competition.
Publish and send contracts directly through Bound.
Step by Step Process (as shown in video)
Visit your Bound Admin Page
Click the "Events" tab
Click on the date of your EVENT
For this example, we are going to send the invoice and let all stakeholders know next year's contract is coming out soon.
Click on the "Post" button
Click on "Compose Post"
Compose your message (In this Example we are creating a Meet Invoice Message)
Add message and attachment
Click on the Stakeholders that you want to get your message.
Click on "Send Message"
Now let's copy this Event to next year so its on the schedule and we can send contracts to all schools.
Click the "Gear" button
Click on "Settings"
Click on "Event"
Click on "Manage"
Click on "Manage Event" in the top right
Click on "Copy Event"
Determine if you want a custom date rolled forward or a one-year corresponding date rolled forward.
For our example, we are going to use the One-Year corresponding date feature.
Click on "One Year" and verify the date is what you want.
Either Click "Maintain Hosts" or select your school (verify the color changes to green here)
Verify that you want to copy all competitions for that event forward.
If you are hosting a tournament you may not want to copy all PAIRINGS forward from one year to the next just the event. At this step, you would "unclick" any of the competitions (pairings) you don't want to be rolled forward.
Click on "Copy"
Notice that you are now in next year's EVENT
Now we want to send next year's contract to all schools.
Click on "Event"
Click on "Hosting"
Click on "Setup Contract"
Click on the Fee Type you want "Per Event," Per Competition," or "None"
Add fee amount here
Click on all "Parties" you want to invite to your event
Click on "Publish Contract"
Create a message to schools and click on "Send"
