keeping track of registrations

For large events, there is a lot of little things to keep track of when people are preregistering and again at check in. It is important for the leader of an event to not have to be involved in then check-in process – they need to be out greeting youth and parents. To make this possible, during preregistration, keep a spread sheet listing participant name, grade, assigned group or dorm or other significant information, date and amount of the deposit and date and amount of every payment toward the final cost. Before check in, highlight or list from the spread sheet those who still owe something. The checkin person/people can handle everything from there.
