Sometimes you need to manually close an event earlier than the posted close day/time. Your event may have filled early and you don't want to maintain a waiting list or your event was cancelled. You'll choose this button to close your event.
Effectively close a specific stake during your event by setting the maximum number of entries to your current number of entries. If you have 20 entries and want to mark the stake as full before the close date/time, set your Max # entries to 20 and anyone who enters after this change will be placed on the waiting list.
If you want to allow a specific person to enter your event after you close it, make certain they're in PerfDog's system by clicking Manage people under Manage and then search for them. Add them if they're not in the system. Then add them to the list in User Permissions and give them permission to enter after close. See User Permissions for more information.
