You Can Now Allow or Prevent the Combination of Coupons

21 December 2023

We’ve introduced changes to how coupons work in our system. Previously, discounts and codes could not be combined. The system defaulted to the larger discount when multiple codes were applied. Now, you have control over how your discounts and codes interact.

We’ve Added a “Time” Column to Timed Events to Ensure Accurate Placement

We’re excited to announce the latest enhancement to UltraSignup’s results loading capabilities. Now, you can load both a time and a distance column when uploading timed results, ensuring accurate placements and a smoother experience for both you and the participants. Click here for more details.

Management of Unsubscribed Emails

09 November 2023
  • Each record in the “Unsubscribed” table in the UI now has a checkbox.
  • Checking the box and clicking the “Resubscribe” button removes the record from the `usUnsubscribe` table.
  • **Important notes: 
    1. If an email bounces, the contact will end up in the usUnsubscribed table. Resubscribing the contact will not fix the bounce issue, so please inform the contact that before they are resubscribed, they will need to whitelist info@ultrasignup.com. Once that is complete, resubscribe the contact.
    2. It has been reported that once resubscribed, all missed emails are delivered. We will monitor this and iterate as needed.

Accurate Placement for Tied Results

09 November 2023
  • When participants tie for a position, they now receive the same position number.
  • Subsequent participant rankings skip the next number after a tie following 1, 1, 3 rather than 1, 1, 2 sequence.
  • DP works the same way, placing finishers/ties in the 1, 1, 3 sequence used for overall placement.
  • Overall finisher count displays the correct number of participants.

Single event discounts and group discounts

07 June 2023

We have resolved an issue related to the application and handling of credits for runners who had both a single event participant discount and a group participant discount. Previously, there were problems with applying credits correctly in such cases.

With this update, the system will now prioritize the event-specific credit first and apply it accordingly. Any remaining or residual credit will remain an event-specific credit. This enhancement allows runners to utilize their credits effectively. 

Additionally, group credits will only be applied when the event-specific credit does not cover the full cost of registration. Any residual group credit can still be applied to future registrations. 

Sorting of Participant List for Ticket Sales Events

07 June 2023

We have resolved a bug related to the sorting of the participant list for events with the ticket sales event type. Previously, users experienced an issue with the sort order of the participant list, it is now sorted based on registration date.

Display issue in registration history

07 June 2023

Add-On Purchase Issue: Previously, when purchasing an add-on from the event store, it resulted in the appearance of an add-on purchase for each distance associated with the add-on.

Manage Team: All add-ons and race registrations appeared as relay registrations displaying a link “manage team”.

Now, when purchasing an add-on from the event store, it will accurately reflect the intended purpose as a standalone purchase and not create the appearance of false purchases. The “manage team” link now only appears when associated with a relay registration.
