Topline's show system is quite robust and allows for classes to be as restrictive or open as the host desires. This may seem an overwhelming at first but once you read through this guide I hope it'll be a bit less overwhelming. Show hosts earn 15% of all entry fees!

Getting Started

1. Go to My Shows to create an Open Show or to My Associations and click the "Shows" link button to manage association shows.
2. Fill out the name. start and end date (can be the same), and choose a location from the drop down. Submit the form.
3. On the next page is when we get down to business! You can keep it as a draft until you've filled it out to your satisfaction.
4. Fill out any rules and information you want to provide. The entry fee is for when you want to set the same amount for all the classes.
5. Disciplines under Show Scope is required. It uses the codes on the discipline guide. This helps when approving and later when others may search the calendar. Breeds is for when it is a breed specific show.

Creating Classes: The Easy Way

1. Download the Show Template and File > Make a Copy. It is at https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/ ... sp=sharing
2. Fill out each column. The more columns that are filled out the more filtered out the eligable entries will be.
   • name = name of the class.
   • species = horse or dog
   • discipline_code = loaded from the "species" column (Optional)
   • phases = phases/tests (Cross Country, Jumping, Dressage, Test 1, Test 2, ect.)
   • gender_required = mare, stallion, gelding, ect. (Optional)
   • level_code = auto populated from the discipline_code column (Optional)
   • min_age and max_age = are the min/max age for the class (Optional)
3. Once your finishes hit File > Share > Publish to Web > Choose either CSV or Tab Seperated (TSV).
4. Copy the URL and paste it into the form field "Import Classes from Google Sheet" and hit the "Import/Update Classes". It may take a moment to reload the page with your classes loaded in.
5. You can than continue to add additional entry restrictions if you wish.
6. When you are satisfied change the show status to "open" and hit save. Your show will than be added to the approval query! Once it is approved it will be listed on the calendar.

Creating Classes: The Tedious Way

1. Follow the "Getting Started" section above.
2. Enter a class name, choose a species and a discipline from the "Create a Class" section and hit "Add". Repeat for each class.
3. Adust the entry parameters as desired. See below for a break down of all the avaliable options.
4. When you are satisfied change the show status to "open" and hit save. Your show will than be added to the approval query! Once it is approved it will be listed on the calendar.
