How Discounts are Calculated
Note: Discounts are only calculated on the registration portion, not the membership fee. The higher amount or percentage will be applied to the lower registration fee.
Example 1 - Discount ($)
Discount ($) for a family of three children with only the multiple participant discounts
The second child receives $50 off
The third child receives a $100 discount
Registration fees are $500, $400, and $100.
The membership fee is $46.16
Q: In this example, why did the participant not receive the full $100 discount?
A: Discounts are not calculated on the membership fee - only the registration portion, and the highest discount is applied to the lowest fee. Therefore, only $53.84 could be discounted.

FAQ’s
How do I add a family discount if siblings register on separate invoices?
If the family contacts you before they register the sibling, you can add a credit to the participant’s profile. If they register and let you know afterwards, you will need to give them a refund.
