Update to Create Competition Form

[AlbertoPdRF]

As discussed in the email thread, the Board wants to propose an update to the Create Competition Form. The proposed update consists of:

• New Section: Article Z (checkboxes):

1. I would like to require competitors to submit puzzles during registration.
2. I would like to limit the number of events per competitor.
   (if checked) Maximum number of events __
3. I would like to select competitors who directly qualify for certain rounds of certain events based on the results of specific previous competitions.
   (if checked) [Text Box asking "Elaborate here"]
4. I would like to specify a limit on the number of competitors that can enter this competition.
   (if checked) Maximum number of competitors __
5. I would like to prohibit competitors from participating in specific combinations of events
   (if checked) [Text Box for Elaboration? Or fancy checkbox system?]

• Update to Confirmation Email:
  To facilitate the announcement of competitions, we would like to have warnings that we should attend to in the confirmation email. Those include:

1. This competition takes place in less than 28 days.
2. This competition takes place within 100 km and 19 days from another competition.
3. This competition invokes Optional Regulations from Article Z:
   (List of those. If a Regulation from Article Z has more than one part, list every part separately)
4. An event from 9b1 has a format of Best of X.
5. This delegate for this country does not live in the country specified for the competition.
   Including these warnings will save us time when checking if competitions are ready to be posted and will prevent us from accidentally announcing a competition that should not be announced.

• Require Event Rounds/Formats and Schedule (Schedule creation software #278 )
  By far, the most tedious part about reviewing competitions for announcement is cross-referencing the events list with the schedule. We already require a schedule, but we would like to require one on the WCA site that "talks to" the Events list. In particular, it should not be possible to confirm the competition unless a schedule is created that includes exactly the same events/rounds as the Events list. To account for tentative events, there should be a way to account for those on the Manage Events tab. From what we understand, the event rounds/formats should already be done anyway because it saves time when generating TNoodle scrambles now and Cubecomps will be able to read these settings (eventually), too.

I will try to take this one next, and also fix #3225 together with this one.

The action plan regarding this issue is documented here, feel free to comment!

Any progress on this lately?

[AlbertoPdRF]

None on my side, as the requested changes will have to be modified after the new Regulations + the WCRP come into effect.

I think this has been fully-handled now (#4144,) or the things that haven't been handled are not relevant anymore, so I'm going to close it.
