Connect member eligibility, registration, sessions and check-in
Answer eligibility before confirming the seat
The registration record should explain both the event position and the membership context.
Check standing
Record eligible, grace period allowed, not eligible or needs review rather than relying on a copied active-member list.
Respect capacity
Compare capacity, registered count and waitlist count before accepting another person.
Keep accommodations visible
Retain accommodation or follow-up notes with the registration that staff will use.
Plan sessions and check-in
Keep each session's room, start time, capacity and facilitator visible, then distinguish registered, attended and no-show outcomes.
Make movement into a seat and arrival understandable
A full event needs more than a count.
Position and rule
Use registration order or a documented priority rule and make the advancement condition clear.
Cancellation
Free the seat, identify the next eligible member and retain the change instead of overwriting the list.
Grace-period member
Allow or review the registration according to the event rule without changing the member's standing.
Closing the event
Capture check-in, no-shows and follow-up before marking the event completed or updating participation history.

Use event state to drive the next action
Registration and event status should remain separate.
| Situation | Event action | Member action |
|---|---|---|
| Registration open and eligible | Confirm registration | Retain current standing |
| Full event and eligible | Add to waitlist | Notify advancement rule |
| Needs standing review | Hold the seat decision | Review membership context |
| Cancellation opens a seat | Advance next eligible person | Send updated confirmation |
| Event completed | Record attendance and follow-up | Add relevant participation context |
