Private Label - Direct Registration
"Direct Registration" bypasses our standard registration and login forms.
Tech Details
If the contest site is to be iframed within your site, then the contest site must use a "subdomain" of yours. This will require upgrading to our "gold template".
ie. If your site is https://www.yoursite.com, then the iframed contest site must be something like: https://contest.yoursite.com or https://bracket.yoursite.com .
The reason for this is due to ever-tightening browser security settings. Most popular browsers don't allow setting 3rd party cookies in iframes. Our sites require cookies to be set, in order for people to stay logged in.
Your IT team should be able to easily make this temporary DNS change to the subdomain. You will still own the domain and subdomain, you will just need to point the subdomain to our servers for the duration of the contest.
Due to increasingly tighter browser security settings, most popular browsers don't allow POSTing info to different domains. Unless, the user has previously visited the 3rd party domain. If your testing uncovers this issue, it may require a 2-step work-around process. The work-around process involves sending the user to a special page on the bracket site. The bracket site immediately returns the user to a "jump" page on your site, which then POSTs their unique info to the custom pool site. This process satisfies browser security policies, because they did go to the custom pool site prior to POSTing data to it.

Send the user to our "pre registration" page before POSTing their information to the private label site.
Send users to "pre_registration.aspx?to=", but with a parameter in the querystring. The parameter should be the URL to your system, that you want them to return to.
eg. https://yourplname.pooltracker.com/tourney/pre_registration.aspx?to=https://www.yourdomain.com/bracketpage/
..where the value of the "to" parameter is set to your "bracket page" URL.
The "pre_reg.." page will immediately send the user "to" that page.
ie. https://bracketdemo.pooltracker.com/tourney/pre_registration.aspx?to=https://www.google.com
Please note, you may need to URLEncode the URL in the "to" parameter.
- Your "bracket page", ie. https://www.yourdomain.com/bracketpage/ , should then POST the hidden information to "directregistration.aspx", per the samples.
ie. https://yourplname.pooltracker.com/tourney/_testDirectRegistration.aspx
