Answers.Body: <p>Not sure if this response will still be relevant, but while what you describe can technically be achieved, you will run into PCI compliance issues by collecting credit card information up front since credit card information only passes through Civi to the payment processor - it doesn't store that information. If you forgo the collection of credit card information, then you could generate pledges from the sponsorship information in advance of the event, then modify those pledges based on the actual results, and then issue invoices for payment online.</p>

  <p>We've seen others use CiviCRM for walk-a-thons and bowl-a-thons. But, is it possible to execute the following: </p>
  
  <p>12 Runners
  Donors can pledge $0.25 - $10.00 per mile on any runner up to 15 miles
  This pledge is doubled for running 1 bonus miles (16 total) run and tripled for running 3 bonus miles (18 total)</p>

  <p>If Sarah pledges $1.00/mile on Runner #1 
  $2.50/mile on Runner #2 </p>
  
  <p>Credit card information is collected upfront</p>
  
  <p>Results:
  Runner #1 - 16 Miles = 15 miles, 1 Bonus Mile
  Player #2 -  8 Miles</p>
  
  <p>Invoice Shows Charges for:</p>
  
  <p>Player #1 - $30 ($1.00 * 15 * 2)
  Player #2 - $20 ($2.50 * 8)</p>
  
  <p>Is this doable?</p>
