INTRODUCTION
Feature Summary: Custom fields collect player data not normally stored by CourtReserve.
Use Cases: System users could, for instance, add a field to ask pickleball event registrants if they need to rent a paddle or get the player's shirt size. Custom fields can be required or optional.
Module 2 is an eleven-part quick-start guide highlighting the key steps admins should complete when creating events and leagues for pickleball players. This article is Part 5.
