In recent weeks, we have undertaken a major overhaul of entry.equipe.com.
We upgraded the framework, programming language, JavaScript pipeline, and dependencies.
Additionally, we have significantly changed the system design for how an entry is submitted and accepted. Now, instead of a user's entries being submitted or accepted overall, each entry to a competition is submitted/accepted.
This update facilitates corrections, such as the 'Accept all' function no longer accepting reserve entries.
We have removed the withdrawn the overall entry button, which was often clicked by mistake. Instead, users can now withdraw from each competition, and this action is visibly marked for both the organizer and the user with a strikethrough.
Withdrawn entries
Withdrawn/removed entries are flagged as deleted instead of being permanently deleted.
A new setting, Charge Withdrawn From has been introduced. This setting determines when a deleted entry should be charged or not and is adjustable per competition. It's important to note that this is an entry-system-only setting. Within the equipe system, entries will be marked as withdrawn (chargeable) or changed (free of charge).
We've also added a bulk update feature for the Charge Withdrawn From setting, applicable to either the same day's competition or all competitions.
Users will now remain permanently signed in to the entry system.
Additionally, we have improved the messaging for users signing in via URL with an invalid token.
This is just to mention a few of the improvements we have made. Perhaps the most significant change is that this overhaul allows us to implement changes more easily and swiftly from now on.
We've just made a small improvement to the process of sending invoices via email. Now, you can easily add multiple recipients. Simply enter an email address, press 'Enter,' and then write another one. This process can be repeated as needed.
Quick access to Publish horse no - changes here are reflected immediately on the riders phone or in rider declaration screen
The option to publish horse numbers is now respected by both self-service and rider declaration. This setting determines whether the horse number should be visible to the rider. To access this setting more quickly, it's located in the dialog box where you select which competitions are open for entry.
Horse no badge visible

Fixes issue with reordering competition tabs using drag and drop from start lists; previously, moving between the first two tabs did not some times not save correctly.
Automatically trims zip code to avoid trailing whitespace.
In Tools > Starting Order > Rotate, the focus is now automatically set on the input field.
A few weeks back, we revamped our desktop rendering engine. Now, we're bringing that same upgrade to our iPhone and Android apps. A cohesive experience no matter where you're browsing. And a bonus: if you switch your phone to landscape mode, you'll get a compact version of the desktop results. Dive in, try it out, and share your thoughts. We're eager to hear how it feels!
We understand that there are times when our users, during dressage events, may not want the live score of each participant to be reflected instantly on the platform. We have introduce a new feature: the ability to turn off the Publish live score.
At Equipe, we believe in continuous improvement and staying updated. We're excited to share that we've recently rolled out significant upgrades to our system.
The Nitty-Gritty of the Update
Updated Framework: We’ve transitioned to the latest version of our framework. This isn't just a minor patch; it's a comprehensive update that ensures smoother operations and aligns us with the best practices in the industry.
Language Overhaul: Alongside the framework, we’ve updated the programming language Equipe is built on. This step is crucial for maintaining the robustness and efficiency of our system.
Performance Speaks
We didn't jump into these changes blindly. Before rolling it out for everyone, we've been running the new version behind the scenes for almost two weeks. The result? A noticeably faster system that aims to enhance user experience and improve overall functionality.
We've got some good news for fans of Eventing Cross Country. Over at online.equipe.com, we've made a few updates that we think you'll appreciate.
Track Riders in Real-Time Now, instead of just waiting for the end results, you can see how riders are doing as they make their way through the course. From the first fence to the last, you can keep up with all the action.
Details, Details, Details
We've added more information about what's happening between the start and finish lines. It's a great way to get a better understanding of the course and what the riders are up against.
Missed the Live Event? No Problem If you can't catch the event live, you can still check out the results later. We're saving all the data, so you can come back and see how things went whenever you have time.
