I like the flex league format in CR, but really need to have SET PARTNERS option

this worked; however I lose the ability for the front desk to verify check-ins on their screens. and also see if they have unpaid dues, etc... 

I would have a kiosk at the front desk if I could see those 2 items: "unpaid fees" and "suspended/inactive" memberships

Ditto --- on having the kiosk have the option of "amount due" and "inactive/suspended membership"
