+## 2026-07-09 — Billing moves from your account to a new "Title" entity
8
+
9
+**What changed:** Plus billing is no longer a single toggle on your account. Directors now create one or more **Titles** — the billed, owned entity behind a program (for example, "Miss Springfield") — from a new **My Titles** page, and every competition is built under exactly one Title. Each Title carries its own Core or Plus plan, its own upgrade/downgrade/cancel actions, and its own pageant system (assigned automatically, not chosen). A Title can have at most one competition per calendar year. Plus is now **$99 per year, per Title** (previously $49/year for the whole account). The one-time six-month free trial still applies once per Director account, not once per Title. Creating your first Title is now its own step in Director onboarding, before your first competition is created.
10
+
11
+**Why:** Directors running more than one distinct program need to buy and manage Plus separately per program instead of one account-wide plan covering everything, and per-Title billing also closes a loophole where one paid account could be used to quietly run multiple unrelated programs.
12
+
13
+**Impact:** Directors managing plans and billing — see [Titles](pages/titles.md) and [Plans & Upgrading](pages/plans-and-upgrading.md). The Subscription Plan section formerly on My Profile has moved to the My Titles page.

**What changed:** Directors can now add multiple digital payment links (Venmo, PayPal, CashApp, etc.) to a single competition instead of just one, and each link can carry an optional verification or promo code that Delegates must reference when paying. Delegates see the code inline on the application form, or can reveal it with a tap when browsing competitions before applying.

+# Titles
2
+
3
+A **Title** is the billed, owned entity behind your competitions — think of it as your program or franchise (for example, "Miss Springfield"). You manage your Titles from the **My Titles** page, and every competition you create is built under exactly one Title. This page explains what a Title is, how ownership and billing work, and how to create and manage one. If you haven't created your first Title yet, you'll be walked through it as part of [Director Getting Started](director-getting-started.md).
4
+
5
+> A Title is not the same thing as a **[dual title](dual-title-competitions.md)** or **title classification** — those describe the award a contestant competes for at a single event. See the [Glossary](glossary.md) for the distinction.
6
+
7
+---
8
+
9
+## What Is a Title?
10
+
11
+A Title is your billed franchise entity. Each competition you build links to exactly one Title, and that Title's Core or Plus plan determines what features are available on every competition built under it.
12
+
13
+A Director can own more than one Title — for example, if you run programs in more than one pageant system, or more than one distinct local program. Each Title is billed independently, so you can hold one Title on Core and another on Plus at the same time.
14
+
15
+---
16
+
17
+## Ownership
18
+
19
+Each Title has one owner: the Director who created it, and that Director is the sole billing authority for that Title — upgrades, downgrades, cancellations, and payment all go through the owner. Co-managing a single Title across more than one Director account is not available yet.
20
+
21
+---
22
+
23
+## Titles and Pageant Systems
24
+
25
+A Title belongs to exactly one pageant system (for example, Miss America or Royal American Miss), assigned automatically from the site you're on when you create it — this isn't something you choose yourself, and it can't be changed afterward. Every competition built under a Title belongs to that same system.
26
+
27
+If you own Titles in more than one system, the **My Titles** list shows all of them together. Starting a new competition for a Title takes you to that Title's own site if it's different from the one you're currently on, so you're always building the competition in the right place.
28
+
29
+---
30
+
31
+## Creating a Title
32
+
33
+1. Open **My Titles** from the menu.
34
+2. Click **Create New Title**.
35
+3. In the panel that slides in, enter a **Title Name** (for example, "Miss Example City").
36
+4. Click **Create Title**.
37
+
38
+Your first Title is also created for you automatically as part of the onboarding steps the first time you sign in as a Director — see [Director Getting Started](director-getting-started.md).
39
+
40
+---
41
+
42
+## Editing a Title
43
+
44
+1. Open **My Titles** from the menu.
45
+2. Click a Title in the list to open it for editing.
46
+3. Update the **Title Name** and click **Update Title**.
47
+
48
+---
49
+
50
+## Billing: Core and Plus, Per Title
51
+
52
+Each Title carries its own subscription, separate from every other Title you own:
53
+
54
+- **Core** is free and included automatically for every Title.
55
+- **Plus** costs **$99 per year, per Title** and unlocks online payments, compliance tracking, the judge's book script builder, and the interview planner for every competition built under that Title.
56
+
57
+Upgrading one Title to Plus does not affect your other Titles — each one is billed and managed on its own.
58
+
59
+### Upgrade to Plus
60
+
61
+1. Open **My Titles** from the menu and click the Title you want to upgrade.
62
+2. Click **Upgrade to Plus** in the panel that slides in.
63
+3. Review the Plus features, then confirm. If you're eligible for the free trial, you'll be offered it here instead of a paid upgrade.
64
+4. If you're not on a trial, an invoice is emailed to you; the Title moves to Plus once payment is received.
65
+
66
+### Downgrade to Core
67
+
68
+1. Open **My Titles** from the menu and click the Title you want to downgrade.
69
+2. Click **Downgrade to Core** and confirm.
70
+3. The Title keeps its Plus features until the end of its current billing period, then moves to Core automatically.
71
+
72
+### The Free Trial Is Per Account, Not Per Title
73
+
74
+The six-month free trial of Plus is a one-time perk for your Director account, not something you get fresh on every Title. If you've already used your trial (on this Title or a previous one), upgrading another Title goes straight to a paid invoice. See [Plans & Upgrading](plans-and-upgrading.md) for how the trial works.
75
+
76
+---
77
+
78
+## One Competition Per Title, Per Year
79
+
80
+A Title can have at most one competition per calendar year. This keeps a single paid Title from being used to quietly run more than one program at once. If you need to run more than one distinct program in the same year, each one needs its own Title.
