# Offering a one-off membership

Some organisers like to offer their athletes an ability to compete in a single event in a series, without committing to a full annual membership.

LiveHeats has a feature that allows you to:

* offer a one-off membership to your athletes
* restricts that membership so when the athlete enters an event, the one-off membership is consumed and they need to renew or upgrade to enter further events

This article describes how to set this up.

# How to offer your athletes a one-off membership

1. Once you have [created the series](https://liveheats.crisp.help/en/article/creating-a-new-series-for-rankings-bpx03m/), ensure that you have turned on the [setting to require a membership to enter events](https://liveheats.crisp.help/en/article/restricting-event-registration-to-active-members-only-1r6rsxb/)
2. In the **Series settings,** add a division for the **One-off membership** - you can name it anything you want. This division will appear as a **Membership option** alongside other divisions
3. Go to the **Membership** tab and ensure you have set a **Custom price per division** being lower for this (e.g. normal divisions/options are $100 and the one-off price is $30)
4. Notify the LiveHeats team at [community@liveheats.com](mailto:community@liveheat.socm), so we can set this division to be one-off. Please tell us:
* The series for which you'd like the one-off membership to be applied
* The name of the division (e.g. one-off membership)
5. Once we've set this for you, when a member selects this option, they'll now be able to use it to enter one event only and following that, they'll be prompted to upgrade

# When does a one-off membership get used or expire?
| Scenario | How it affects a one-off membership |
| ---- |
| Entry is waitlisted | Uses membership.This entry is considered an active entry that is pending confirmation and therefore uses the one-off membership. If the athlete wants to enter another event or division, this entry must be cancelled. Once cancelled, the athlete's one-off membership will become valid again and they'll be able to register for another event. To cancel an entry, follow these instructions:  [removing a registered athlete](https://liveheats.crisp.help/en/article/removing-a-registered-athlete-or-team-from-a-division-as-a-director-3xcrgk/) . |
| Entry is confirmed | Uses membership. |
| Entry is cancelled | Not used - membership remains valid |
| Event is cancelled | Not used - membership remains valid |
| Division is deleted | Not used - membership remains valid |
| Event is deleted | Not used - membership remains valid |
