The options and their limits

Three age groups, each at its own time and with its own number of places. When the under 11s are full, that group closes on the form.

In this example Under 11s, 10:30 am is full and two people are waiting for it.

58 places in total. That is more than the free plan covers. Setup tells you before you share the form, and unlocking costs $12, paid once.

What people see

People fill in your ordinary Google Form. Under the question they see how many places are left for each option. A full option is hidden, or marked "full, join the waiting list".

  • Anyone who joins a waiting list gets an email with their number in line.
  • When a place opens up, the next person gets it and an email saying so.
  • Emails come from your own Google account, so replies come to you.

Good to know

What Choice Limit does and does not do for this kind of form. Read the help page for more.

  • Age group and time together

    Choice Limit counts each option on its own, so put the age group and its time in one option.

  • Checking ages

    Choice Limit does not check a player's age. Parents pick the group, and you can free a place in Your list if a player is in the wrong one.

  • A player drops out

    Press Free this place. The first player waiting for that group gets it, and their family gets an email.

  • Two players at the same moment

    If two families take the last place within the same few seconds, the second goes on the waiting list and gets an email.
