Custom data fields let you collect additional information from participants during pre-registration when the standard registration fields do not include everything your event needs. You can create questions, choose the type of response participants should provide, add answer options, and include instructions to help participants enter the correct information.

If you add custom data fields that need to be included in your tournament, review their field mappings when you import wrestlers from Pre-Registration.
