TeamBuilder now supports individual-based sporting events, such as Athletics and Swimming.
Individual participants will be registered to a "team of athletes" competing at an event, and will then complete an individual registration form to nominate the individual events they would like to register to at the event.
Once a competition has been created by the regional organisation such as an association or centre and the club or school has been set up to enter this competition can clubs and schools begin to enter individuals into individual events.

Creating a Team
The club or school will create a single team in the competition grade in TeamBuilder. All students or participants entering individual events will be placed into the single team. The club or school will also create a separate team for each of the relay events that they want to enter.
1. Login to your Sporty site, go to the Dashboard then click the TeamBuilder tile.
2. Select the competition that a team is to be entered for. E.g. Competition: Athletics Champs.
3. Click the event that the team is to be entered into on the right, e.g. Senior Boys' 100m Sprint, and click + Add Team.
4. Enter the team name and contact details then click Submit.
The team is now created and individuals can be added to this team (team of athletes).
Add Individuals to the Team of Athletes
Individuals complete the Player Registration form for the specific sport before the club or school administrator places the individual into a team. When an individual is placed into a "team of athletes", their player registration form will open requiring that the administrator complete the event field questions.
1. Individuals will complete the Player Registration form to participate in the sport. For example, they will complete the Athletics Registration form. This will load the individual into TeamBuilder.
2. The club or school administrator will drag and drop the individual into a team (a team of athletes). This will open the individuals player registration form. The administrator must then select which events the individual is entering and enter the qualifying time/distance. The events listed will be filtered based on the eligibility criteria and the participants details.
3. The team will appear the same as it does for team-based sports, however the team members are individuals participating in the competition.
