Creating a Division/Class Show or Clinic

Posted

By

The Create New Show button is your starting point for building any event — whether it’s a traditional show or a clinic.

Step 1: Start a New Show

Click Create New Show from your Show Manager dashboard.

This is your one-stop location to create:

  • Divisional/Class
  • Clinics

Step 2: Enter Show Details

Fill in the core information for your event:

  • Show Name
  • Show Type
    • Division/Class
    • Clinic
  • Status
    • Defaults to Draft
    • ⚠️ Recommended to leave as Draft
  • Start & End Date
    • For a one-day show, use the same date
  • Location
    • Enter the full address of the show grounds

Step 3: Configure Entry Settings

This section will adjust based on the Show Type you selected.

For Division/Class Shows

Pricing Model

Choose how exhibitors are charged:

  • Price Per Class (Default)
    Exhibitors pay per class entered
  • Flat Fee
    One price regardless of number of classes
  • Price Per Division
    Sign up for a specific division which will include all classes within it

Enable Member Pricing

Toggle the enable member pricing if you would like to offer club members either a fixed discount or % discount off of entry fees (will not discount Add-ons). Keep in mind EZSM has no method of verifying if the entry is in fact a member so this is fully on the honor system.

Max Entries

  • Default: 0 (Unlimited)

Entry Open & Close Dates

  • Set when entries will be accepted

⚠️ Important:
Once entries go live, your show becomes locked for editing

👉 Recommendation:
Set your entry open date in the future while building your show

Step 4: Choose Class Structure

Select how your classes are organized:

Division & Classes

  • Group classes into divisions
  • Example:
    • Walk/Trot
    • Open
    • Added Classes

Classes Only

  • No divisions
  • Simple list of classes

Add Your Classes

  • Create and name your Divisions and/or Classes
  • Build out your full show structure

Clinic Specific Details

  • Set your Max Entires or Auditors for each day of clinic
  • Add Entry type (Example 1 price for Members another for Non-Members)
  • Checkbox if you WANT to allow auditors to register for the clinic
    • note if you set your auditor price to zero and an auditor does not choose any other paid add-ons at checkout. No EZ fee is collected and the system acts like a free RSVP list

Step 5: Add Paid Add-Ons (Optional)

You can offer optional purchases such as:

  • Stall Fees (e.g., $25)
  • Bagged Lunches
  • BBQ Dinner
  • Non-Member Fees

You control:

  • Name
  • Price
  • If a Add-on is required and must be paid by all entries

Step 6: Assign a Show Secretary

By default:

  • The Show Manager is also the Secretary

You can assign someone else:

  1. Enter their email address
  2. Click Check
  • If they exist → they’re assigned
  • If not → they’ll receive an invite to register

✅ No additional cost for secretaries – they will receive the following email to set their password and sign into their dashboard.

👉 You always retain access to the Secretary Dashboard

Step 7: Create Your Show

Click Create Show

You will receive a warning:

⚠️ Once entries go live, your show settings are locked

👉 Double-check all details before submitting

You’re Ready

Your show is now created and ready for the next steps:

  • Opening entries
  • Managing exhibitors
  • Running your event
