Create teams and assign team members

Add a house team to a relay event and choose the students in it.

For a relay or another team event, you add the house team as the competitor, then choose the students who will be its members. This guide shows how to build that team list before the event is run.

Use a team event when the team shares one result, such as a relay time. If each student receives a separate result, use an individual event. Event pools only support individual events, so they cannot manage team heats or progression.

Start with an event whose event type uses team competitors. Check that its gender and grade or age group match the team you want to enter.

Add a team and choose its members

1. Open your carnival’s Events list and choose Competitors for the relay event. In Edit mode, find Add Teams below the competitor list.

2. Select the house whose team is entering. Check that the new team appears in the event list. Add All can create one team for every house that does not yet have one, if that matches your event.

3. Choose Team Members beneath the team. The picker shows students from that house; use Eligible to narrow it to the event’s gender and year level or age group.

4. Search for each intended student, select them, and check the Selected count before choosing Save Members.

A team’s points count once towards its house total. Each assigned member can also receive those points in the champion-student calculation. See How house points and champion students are calculated for the scoring methods and champion views.
