Automatic waitlists
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.
Dragon boat crew management that ends the 5pm scramble.
DragonSignUp keeps your roster, practice sign-ups and waitlists in one place, so a 5pm cancellation doesn’t cost you a paddler on the water.
Free for crews up to 30. No credit card required.

Features
Everything a season needs
Spring training through the last fall regatta, all from one screen.
Paddler roster management
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.
Dragon boat practice schedules
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.
Boat seating charts
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.
Regatta lineups, race by race
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.
Team events and volunteer sign-ups
Post meetings, pot-lucks, and regatta volunteer shifts with sign-up slots. The crew claims what they can cover.
Practice and race reminders
We email everyone before each practice and race, so you can stop posting “who’s coming?” in the group chat.
Multi-crew club management
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 ads, ever
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.
How it works
Set up in under 5 minutes
Three steps, and you’re set for the season.
01
Build your crew
Type in your paddlers, or share an invite link and let them add themselves. Set roles for managers and steerspeople.
02
Schedule practices & races
Post practices and regattas with seat counts. Paddlers claim their spot, and whoever misses out goes on the waitlist.
03
Step back
Reminders go out, seats fill, and the waitlist moves without you. Check the roster the morning of practice if you want to.
No ads, not even on the free plan.
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.

Questions, answered
Do paddlers need to pay to use the app?
No. Paddlers join and claim seats for free. We bill the crew manager or club admin.
How does the waitlist work?
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.
Is the free plan ad-supported?
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.
What do I actually give up on the free plan?
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.
Does the seating bot pick my lineup for me?
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.
Can I run non-paddling events like meetings and pot-lucks?
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.
Can I switch plans later?
Yes. Move between Free and Pro from your billing settings whenever you like. Stripe prorates the change.
How do you handle payments?
Stripe handles all billing, so we never see or store your card number. Your plan is a monthly subscription you can change or cancel whenever you like.
