Manage nominations manually

Add students to a manual event pool, then reorder or remove nominations as needed.

A manual pool lets you choose who is nominated before creating heats or rounds. With automatic nominations off, you can add, reorder and remove students yourself.

Manage the nomination list

1. Open Event Pools for your carnival, then choose Nominations for the pool you want to manage.

2. Click Add Student to open the eligible students list.

3. Select the students you want to nominate. This example adds eight students from across the houses.

4. Click Add Students. The nomination board now shows the eight students under their houses.

Reorder nominations

5. You can reorder students within a house by dragging them. You cannot move a nomination into another house by dragging it.

Remove a nomination

6. If you need to remove a nomination, click Remove beside that student. A student with a recorded result cannot be removed this way.

Nominating a student also registers them in the carnival if needed. If a student does not appear in Eligible, their school record or the pool’s eligibility settings may need updating. Pools with automatic eligible-competitor management allow reordering but manage additions and removals for you.

If the pool has not been created yet, start with Create an event pool and its first heats.
