Let's say your annual golf event is mid-July. You could subscribe starting a few months before. This will give you ample time to develop the website and add any online registration and payment processing to give adequate lead time for your participants to register. Depending on your need, your could keep it live year-round or let it expire at a designated time after your event finishes.

Online registration

Registration for your tournament is one of the areas you want to streamline as much as possible. You can either live with the chaos of registration by phone, email, fax, in person or mail or enjoy funneling everyone through one registration form on your website. If necessary, you might provide another registration method, but limiting to no more than two ways - one being online - will save your sanity.
