For clubs

Online entries that save your volunteers time

Pre-entries is the modern, fast entry system built for orienteering. Used by clubs since 2020, and constantly being improved.

Set up my club See pricing

Your first event is free of our service fee. Ben sets it up with you.

What it saves organisers

Less admin before the event, fewer emails during it, and money in the bank in time.

Copy an event to set up the next one

Start from last time’s event and change only what’s different.

Entrants sort out their own changes

Where you allow it, entrants edit or cancel their own entries and refunds go back automatically. There’s no refund fee.

Live British Orienteering membership checks

Membership is checked as people enter, so the right fee is charged without anyone checking by hand.

Start times allocated for you

Start-time allocation is built in, so the start list is ready when entries close.

Exports to your timing software

SiTiming, OE, SI apps, or anything that reads IOF XML. We can export in any required format.

Paid after the event

The club’s balance is transferred once the event is done.

Your club stays in control

Once you’re set up, create and open events whenever you like. No need to ask anyone.

Easy for entrants

Simple for newcomers and families

Clear steps in plain English, so someone entering their first event, or a parent entering the whole family, can get through it without needing to know the jargon.

Quick on any phone

Made for phones first, so entering is quick wherever they are.

Apple Pay and Google Pay

Or any card. One payment covers everyone in the basket.

Any type of event, from local to championships

Local and regional events, national and championship events, urban and sprint, night, relays, multi-day events and training camps. If your club runs something we don’t cover yet, tell Ben and he’ll add it.

Free club activities stay free

Training, taster sessions and junior activities with no entry fee cost nothing to run on Pre-entries.

Trusted with the big ones

In 2026, Pre-entries handled entries for:

British Sprint Championships 744 entries, with start allocation
British Long Championships over 1,000 entries

Simple pricing

Nothing to pay up front: our fee comes off each paying entry. Our fees haven’t changed since 2020.

Per paying competitor

Local and regional events: 25p
National and major events: 50p
Free club activities: 0p
Card payments (Stripe): 1.5% + 20p per payment

There’s a worked example on Pricing.

Try it

Your first event is free

No Pre-entries fee on your club’s first event, only the card fees. Ben sets it up with you, so you can see how it works before doing the next one yourselves.
