Answers from a September 2026 survey of paddlers using DragonSignUp.
“It’s more efficient to sign-up, and I’m not battling website ads.”
Sam I.
Paddler
“I love the reminders that I have signed up and the second reminder in case I forgot that I was signed up and can’t make it. Also having the wait list right on the signup page is great.”
Judy L.
Paddler
“The ability to add my name to the waitlist and then automatically get a bench (and being notified by text) if one opens up. This feature is so valuable because it frees up the coaches from constantly monitoring the signup.”
Marie H.
Paddler
“Dragon SignUp has streamlined what used to be an involved process. There are so many advantages, my favorites include: the ability to sign up for multiple days at once, the clarity in paddle side preference, and the elimination of accidental double sign ups.”
Kate B.

Spring training through the last fall regatta, all from one screen.
Your boat holds 22, so sign-ups close at 22. Everyone after that joins the waitlist. Someone drops the night before, the next paddler gets the seat and an email while you sleep. Paddlers who would rather hear it by text can switch that on.
Share one link. Paddlers set up their own accounts and keep their contact details current, so you stop chasing phone numbers. You assign the manager and steersperson roles.
Post a weekly practice once and we create every date for the season. Paddlers claim a seat in one tap. Unlimited events on every plan, including the free one.
Build your lineup seat by seat, or let us draft one that balances sides and weight and flags anyone sitting on their off side. Keep it or rip it apart.
Build a separate lineup for every race, mixed 200m, open 500m, the final, pulling paddlers from any crew in the club. Print the seat-by-seat manifest for officials, then lock it. A late sub swaps one seat.
Post meetings, pot-lucks, and regatta volunteer shifts with sign-up slots. The crew claims what they can cover.
We email everyone before each practice and race, so you can stop posting “who’s coming?” in the group chat.
Run a whole club from one account. Set up A boat and B boat as separate crews and give each one its own manager.
No banners on any plan, including the free one, and we don't sell your roster to advertisers. Your paddlers see your schedule and nothing else.
Three steps, and you’re set for the season.
Type in your paddlers, or share an invite link and let them add themselves. Set roles for managers and steerspeople.
Post practices and regattas with seat counts. Paddlers claim their spot, and whoever misses out goes on the waitlist.
Reminders go out, seats fill, and the waitlist moves without you. Check the roster the morning of practice if you want to.
Your crew won’t see a banner or a “sponsored” anything, and we don’t sell your roster to advertisers. The clubs that upgrade pay for DragonSignUp.
Every plan includes the full product: unlimited practices and races, automatic waitlists, email reminders, opt-in text alerts, seat-by-seat lineups, team events and multi-crew management. No ads on any plan.

No. Paddlers join and claim seats for free. We bill the crew manager or club admin.
Yes, for Android. Search for DragonSignUp in your app store and sign in with the account you already have. You can also keep using it in any web browser.
When a practice or race fills up, later sign-ups join the waitlist. As soon as someone cancels, the paddler at the top of that list takes the seat and gets an email about it, plus a text if they have turned those on.
Only when a seat opens for them on a waitlist, and only if they turn it on themselves in their profile. We don't text about anything else: no reminders, no marketing. Reply STOP to any message, or turn them off in the profile. Message and data rates may apply.
No. There are no ads on any plan, free included, and we don't sell or share your roster with advertisers. Paid plans fund the product.
Neither one knows what a boat is. TeamSnap is built for forty sports and has no seats or sides. A sign-up sheet fills slots in click order and leaves the lineup to you. We compare features and price with each, and point out where the other tool still wins. Read the TeamSnap comparison or the SignUpGenius comparison.
Headroom. Boat seating, team events, waitlists, reminders, and unlimited practices and races all work on the free plan, but you're capped at 30 members and 2 admins. You upgrade when your roster outgrows the plan.
It suggests one, balanced left to right and by weight, with a warning when someone is sitting on their off side or hasn't said they're coming. You can accept it, edit it, or ignore it. A lineup only saves when a coach saves it.
Yes. Team events use sign-up slots instead of a single seat count, which suits pot-luck dishes, regatta volunteer shifts, and season-planning meetings. Paddlers claim the slot they can cover.
Yes. Move between plans from your billing settings whenever you like. Pro is yearly or monthly, your choice; Club and Club Plus are yearly. Moving up charges the difference for the rest of your term; moving down credits it against your next invoice.
Stripe handles all billing, so we never see or store your card number. Pro is a subscription, billed once a year or once a month. Club and Club Plus bill once a year. You can change or cancel any of them whenever you like. A club that pays by cheque or bank transfer can ask us for an invoice instead.
Set up your crew in the next 5 minutes. The free plan covers 30 paddlers, and there’s no card to enter.
