Question 8

Will the 90-day subscription plan be a recurring charge?

Accepted Answer

No.
This is not a recurring subscription like Netflix where your charged on a monthly basis. 
This is a onetime charge and you’ll have to sign up again if you would like to continue your 90-day subscription.
Our subscription plan allows you to create multiple events for a single organization within a 90-day period from the date you purchase the plan. 
So, if you purchased the subscription plan on, February 5th, 2020.  You have until May 5th, 2020 to create multiple events for a single organization.  That would cover events created up to November 1st, 2020 as your subscription time passes. 
We also suggest you have sometime maybe after your meeting to have your organization members signup for the app. 
Then have some members join a test event you created.  Identify which members you want to be a judge and which members you want to be participants for a quick walkthrough.
NOTE: If you do create any test event, please indicate somewhere in the event name and description that it's a test event so other users know not to join.  This allows you to better evaluate all the app has to offer.
NOTE: All events created by an Event Admin are managed by that admin until it's date and time has expired.
WARNING:  Events cannot be shared across multiple organizations, doing so risks having your events removed by the Trophy Cloud Team. 
Please review our Terms and Conditions policy within the app.

Question 32

I see duplicate participants with the same; first name, last name, year, make model, and license plate. Why are there duplicates in my event?

Accepted Answer

Although rare, the system allows for duplicate names, vehicles and plates in case of a situation where "John Smith" has the same year make and model and license plate.
When manually checking in a duplicate license plate, a warning is presented to the judge with the judge name who last checked in that license plate. But it still possible to check in duplicates.

Due to this unique situation, this can happen in one of three ways.

1. The 'Participant' was manually checked in twice.

2. The 'Participant' is a system Trophy Cloud user who joined and was checked in and then a judge manually checked them in again.

3. The 'Participant' was manually checked in, then became a registered Trophy Cloud user and joined your event and was checked in again.

Note: To minimize this situation, it's best to verify that a user was checked in if you’re not sure.  From the Manual Check in screen you can search for the user by;
 • First Name
 • Last Name
 • License plate
Manual check ins have a pencil (edit) on the top right-hand corner of the user vehicle profile tile. Trophy Cloud user vehicle profiles are not editable by an event organizer.
 
Please see FAQ’s “How do I check in a participant who JOINED my event?” and "How do I manually check in a participant?" For more information on this process.
