When a competition requires the same grades, organisations, and additional questions as a previously created competition, it can be created by copying the original competition to either exist in the current season or in the next season. Modifications can be made to the copied competition team entry form if required however, competition administrators will not need to re-select grades and organisations to include in the new competition.
Once the competition is copied, the associated Team Entry Form will appear in TeamBuilder the same as all other competition Team Entry Forms.
For further information on Team Entry Forms and competitions in TeamBuilder, click the appropriate link.

When copying a competition to the current season, there is an option to include the teams that exist in the original competition which eliminates the need for teams to re-enter their details.
Note: To create a competition in the next season, the Player Registration Superform must be first applied and for grades to be inherited in the new seasons' form, they must firstly be applied to the registration form in the grade attributes. Refer to this Support article
