Invite someone to choose a trophy

Send a sponsor, guest, or award representative a private link that lets them choose an eligible vehicle for one trophy without creating an account or signing in.

Before sending an invitation

1. Create the trophy and confirm its name, section, and group/class eligibility.
2. Confirm eligible attendees are active and have assigned vehicle numbers.
3. Have the selector's correct email address available.

Send the invitation

1. Open Edit event → Trophies or Trophy Assignment.
2. Select the trophy's linked name. Its tooltip says Invite someone to select this trophy.
3. In Trophy Selection Invite, confirm that the selection is open. Unlock the trophy first if it has already been finalized.
4. Enter the selector's email address and select Email invitation.

The emailed private link requires no Driven To Show account. Treat it like an access link and send it only to the intended selector. It expires 24 hours after it is created.

What the invited selector does

1. Open the emailed link and select Start selecting. This begins an editing window of up to two hours, without extending the original 24-hour deadline.
2. Choose a vehicle number. The list includes only active, numbered attendees who meet the trophy's group/class eligibility.
3. Review the vehicle details and save the trophy selection.
4. Return through the same link to revise the choice while the editing window remains open and the trophy is unlocked.

The saved choice updates the event's trophy assignment immediately. If no vehicles appear, review attendee status, assigned numbers, and the trophy's group/class eligibility.

Finalize or correct the choice

Review the selected vehicle in Trophy Assignment, then open Trophy Selection Invite for that trophy and select Lock trophy. A locked link can still display the current choice but cannot change it, and new invitations cannot be sent until the trophy is unlocked.

To allow a correction, select Unlock trophy. If a link has expired or is unavailable, send a new invitation. Before announcements, lock the final selection and reprint any winner list that was created earlier.
