INTRODUCTION
Feature Summary: Custom fields collect player data not normally stored by CourtReserve.
Use Cases: System users could, for instance, add a field to ask pickleball event registrants if they need to rent a paddle or get the player's shirt size. Custom fields can be required or optional.

Click SETTINGS on the side menu.
Scroll down to the EVENT SETTINGS heading.
