Creating & Managing Events

Events are the foundation of CDN. Each event represents a dance competition that account owners can register their competitors for.

Creating an Event

1. Go to Events in the sidebar
2. Click Create Event
3. Fill in the details:
   • Event name
   • Date(s) and venue
   • Description
   • Registration deadlines
4. Click Save

Entry Definitions

After creating the event, you'll need to define the entries — the combinations of group, style, and type that competitors can enter.

Level	What It Means	Examples
Group	Age category	4 Years, 10 Years, 14 Years, Open Age
Style	Dance genre	Jazz, Ballet, Contemporary, Hip Hop, Tap
Type	Format	Solo, Duo/Trio, Small Troupes (4–11), Large Troupes (12+), Improv

Each entry definition is a specific combination — for example, 12 Years — Contemporary / Solo.
