How do I set up a qualification-based event?

A qualification-based event is one that a team can only register for after winning some award at another event. After you make your event a qualification-based event, Regional Support Managers (RSM) will need to work with EPs to configure their events to make their winners eligible to attend your event. Contact your RSM for help with this feature.

What are the EP documents?

All available resources are located in the EP Knowledge Base library at REC Foundation > EPs.

Where can I find past EP email updates?
