We need to cap registrations to 24 teams, and would like to continue using individual registration rather than by team. Wondering if there is something in place that I am missing. As of now, the only way I can see to accomplish not accidently registering a 25th team for the league is to constantly monitor and when we get to 24 teams, make the link private.

I opened this up for review because I think it's worth taking a stab at trying to make this easier. There's only one vote currently, but I know for a fact that several other clubs have the same struggle.

No, since it's individuals who are registering, the cap is also based on the individual and not the team. What might help is to restrict team names to existing ones (in the event settings, see attached) once you have all of your teams (pr pre-create them).
Beyond that there's no realistic way to limit individual registrations based on team name, because you will almost always have someone using a slightly different team name (spelling, or adding "The", etc.).
P.S. Please use our support tickets for support questions. This is our feedback board and is restricted to feature requests. Thanks!

Dave Rapin Thank you for clarifying. I am new to this platform and will direct future support requests accordingly! I guess I was trying to ask if there was a way to limit the number of team names when starting a new league, but also force individual registration. For example, could I set it so that the league would only allow 24 unique team names? I will explore the existing teams option. thanks again

Kara Balshaw: Not currently. You can set up unique team names ahead of time and force registrants to select one, but there's no capability to limit freeform text to unique values right now.
I think it would be a good feature, but I don't think it will solve capped registration as we often see multiple teams with the same name but with a typo or a longer form (Adding The or an s for plural etc.).
