The entry can be added to the order by clicking on "Add to order". Afterward, you can either continue registering entries or proceed to close the order by clicking on "Place order".

Please note that you can change the selected currency by clicking on "Change currency".

Additionally, you have the option to apply a promo code by clicking on "Apply promo code". This allows you to use a coupon if you have one available. Payments can be made either by bank transfer or through one of the payment gateways chosen by the organization (such as PayPal, Mercado Pago, etc.).

If the administrator has included taxes in the pricing, it will be specified in your order.

Depending on the payment method chosen by the organizer, you will have various payment options. Below are some examples. Remember that on platforms like PayPal, you will need to click on the "Buy now with PayPal" button, which will redirect you to its website to complete the payment.

Brewers have the option to provide feedback regarding the quality of the information provided by judges by clicking on the stars at the bottom of each judge's individual scoresheets (if this option was enabled by the administrator). They can also share their impressions on the quality of the feedback. It's important to note that this information will only be delivered to the administrator of the specific competition and not to the judge.
