			<description><![CDATA[When someone enters a full event / category, they are placed in a Waiting List. If positions become available (e.g. other entrants cancel their entry or don't pay their entry fee on time), waiting list entrants can be contacted by email and offered a place within the event.<br />
<br />
The waiting list entrant has a limited time frame to accept the offer. This time frame can be set during adding or editing the event. For more information on setting the offer expiry time, see the <a href="http://www.e-laps.com/forum/showthread.php?tid=64" target="_blank">How to Create an Online Event</a> guide.<br />
<br />
The waiting list entrant accepts the offer by either, logging in and paying their entry fee via the e-Laps website, or by confirming the acceptance with the event host club directly.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;">Sending a Waiting List Invite</span><br />
To send an offer to waiting list entrants, first click on the My Events menu and then click the 'Ent.' column number.<br />
<br />

<br />
There are four pre-defined lists of entrants that you can open at the click of a button; Waiting List entrants, All entrants, Valid entrants, and Non Valid entrants.<br />
<br />
For more information on the other email lists, see the <a href="http://www.e-laps.com/forum/showthread.php?tid=71" target="_blank">How to Manage Online Entries</a> guide.<br />
<br />
Clicking the Waiting List pre-defined list will open the Entry Waiting List form.<br />
<br />
<img src="http://www.e-laps.com/forum/images/screenshots/OnlineEvent_WaitingListEntries.jpg" border="0" alt="[Image: OnlineEvent_WaitingListEntries.jpg]" /><br />
<br />
Here you can select single or multiple entrants that you would like to send an email offer to. Click the empty checkbox in the Tools column to select an entrant.<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #DCDCDC;">NOTE: Only entrants that have not had their entry validated (e.g. they have not paid their entry fee) will appear in the Waiting List.</span><br />
<br />
Once you have selected all the entrants you want to send an email offer to, click the 'Send Entry Offer to Selected' button.<br />
<br />
<img src="http://www.e-laps.com/forum/images/screenshots/OnlineEvent_WaitingListEmail.jpg" border="0" alt="[Image: OnlineEvent_WaitingListEmail.jpg]" /><br />
<br />
Relevant event details are automatically entered into the email subject and body fields as shown above. You can edit the email subject and body as required. <br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;">NOTE:</span> the email body contains an automatically calculated offer expiry date/ time. This expiry date / time is calculated using the 'Offer Expire' field value that was entered whilst adding / editing the event. For more information on setting the offer expiry time, see the <a href="http://www.e-laps.com/forum/showthread.php?tid=64" target="_blank">How to Create an Online Event</a> guide.<br />
<br />
Clicking the Preview button will display an example of what your email will look like.<br />

<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;">Resending Waiting List Invites</span><br />
Waiting List entrants that have had an invite offer sent to them will appear with a yellow envelope icon in the Tools column as shown below. <br />
<br />
<span style="color: #DCDCDC;">NOTE: Only entrants that have not had their entry validated (e.g. they have not paid their entry fee) will appear in the Waiting List.</span><br />
<br />
<img src="http://www.e-laps.com/forum/images/screenshots/OnlineEvent_WaitingListResend.jpg" border="0" alt="[Image: OnlineEvent_WaitingListResend.jpg]" /><br />
<br />
You can RESEND an invite offer to individual entrants by clicking the yellow envelope icon.<br />
<br />
You will be able to re-edit the email message etc. just as you could before. The expiry date / time will also be recalculated. <br />
<br />
Once an entrant validates their entry (e.g. they pay their entry fee) they will be removed from the Waiting List, and will appear in the validated entrant list. <br />
<br />
They will also appear in the public entrant list with a &#36; sign next to their entry (in the Paid column) as shown below.<br />
