Two quick things happen before your first event: you sign in, create your organization (your charity or club), and review a one-time compliance acknowledgment. Then click Create event and the wizard walks you through these steps:
- Basics — name, charity, course, date, start time, fundraising goal, cover photo.
- Format — scramble/best ball/stroke, shotgun/wave start, team size, holes, handicaps.
- Registration — price per player, close date, and any custom questions.
- Add-ons — optional extras like mulligans or contest entries.
- Tax & disclosures — fair-market value of what a player receives (for tax receipts).
- Sponsors — your sponsorship tiers and prices.
- Contest add-ons — links to request prize insurance quotes for a hole-in-one or putting contest. Optional; you buy cover from the provider, not from Redswing.
- AI suggestions — click Get suggestions for suggested flights, sponsor tiers and add-ons. Nothing changes until you accept a suggestion.
- Review — check everything, then click Publish event.
Your progress saves as you go, and you can change anything later in Settings → Event details. After publishing you get a shareable link like redswing.io/events/your-event to send to your players and sponsors. See Publishing your event.
