Why it can work

  • Class registration and rosters are spread across separate tools.
  • Group ticket buyers stay invisible in attendance history.
  • Tight budgets rule out multi-year event software contracts.

Watch out

  • Small groups may not pay for ongoing software at all.
  • Feature needs like team pledge tallying may vary widely.
