Main-Events for Shows - First Steps
The Main-Events for Shows – First Steps is a small program that will allow any sport or show organizer to track entries into their event with results. It does not handle invoicing or detailed customer fees, but is a great little program which produces quality reports including schedules, catalogues, programs, class lists, results, judges scorecards (5 formats) etc.
This is an ideal program for small shows coming from a paper based system into a computerized system. In fact, it is so versatile that you can run lots of different events – it has been used to help manage conferences, trade shows, athletics meets, swimming competitions, and marathons as well as horse shows.
This is the first level that is aimed at event managers with up to 10 – 15 classes or sessions – although there is no limit.
The higher level programs for Sporting Events includes much more in terms of expense tracking, emails, mail merges and PDF creation. However, you can start with this version and then upgrade to a higher level at any stage in future.
- Price - $250.00 (plus GST for NZ customers). Eligible for $50 rebate if data loaded live on Main-Events Calendar.
