Registration and entry

The driver has one account in ERA, with name, email and documents. Each time the driver fills in a form, ERA records a registration: the participation in one race, or in a season pass, in one category. In this guide that record is called an entry; ERA's pages use both words.

Entry statuses

An entry is Confirmed (paid, or free), to pay (registered, payment not arrived yet) or Cancelled (it no longer counts). On track it is separately not checked, accepted or denied ("not allowed" in the track scanner).

Season pass

A registration form that covers several races of the championship: the rounds ticked in the form or, with none ticked, every race in the year of the closing date (every race, if the form has no closing date). The driver registers and pays once. See Selling a season pass.

Accepted on track

The result of the administrative checks at the desk: the driver may race at this event. Technical checks, pre-grid and transponder return list only the drivers accepted on track at this race. A season pass driver is accepted race by race.

Desk (counter)

The administrative checks desk at the track. In ERA it is the page that opens when you scan a driver's QR code: data, race number, transponder, payment, what is included in the entry, shop, and acceptance. See Driver desk.

Form

The registration form of the website for one race or a season pass: categories with prices and limits, pages and fields, closing date, status. See Forms.

Form template

The starting point of a new form: pages and fields are copied into the form when you create it. Changing a template never changes forms already created. See Form templates.

Option list

A list of choices (for example helmet or suit brands) that a "choice from a list" field shows as a drop-down. One list can be used by many forms. See Option lists.

Competition type

The type of a championship, for example National or International, chosen in the championship card and shown by the website. See Competition types.

Race number

The number of the driver at a race. It must be unique in the same category at the same race, season passes included, and is taken from the range of the category. See Race numbers.

Entry list (official, provisional)

The list of drivers entered in a race, as the website shows it. For a race whose entries are not in ERA you import it, and mark it Official or Provisional. See Import entry list.

Welcome bag, entry package

What the organizer prepares for each confirmed driver: T-shirt in the right size, transponder if asked, products included in the entry. ERA counts sizes and transponders and lists the drivers. See Entry packages.

Transponder

The timing device on the kart. The driver can use his own, whose number is saved in his account, or rent one: the rented one is recorded with its internal number at the desk and handed back at the end. See Transponder return.

Pre-grid

The waiting area before the track. The pre-grid sheet lists, by category, the drivers accepted on track at this race, with a column to tick. See Pre-grid.

No-appeal declaration

The sheet each driver or entrant signs before the checks. It lists every entry of the race that is not cancelled, by category. See No-appeal declarations.

Scrutineering, technical checks

The technical inspection of the karts. The sheet lists, by category, the drivers accepted on track at this race, with columns for the check and notes. See Technical checks.

Who pays collects

The rule of the tyre desk: a driver's QR code collects only what the driver paid; a team's QR code collects everything the team paid, for any of its drivers. See Tyre check-in.

Wallet pass

The pass the driver keeps in Apple Wallet or Google Wallet. Its QR code contains only the email, like the paper pass. A superadmin can deactivate it in System › Wallet passes: it then shows as not valid. See Wallet passes.

Permalink

The website address of a championship or an event, for example kart-cup-north/round-3-2027. ERA proposes it from the name; once shared, do not change it, because the old address stops working.

Superadmin and organizer

The two main levels of ERA accounts. A superadmin sees and manages every championship and the system pages. An organizer sees only the championships ticked in his account and the menu entries his level allows. See Menu and permissions.
