Add and manage entrants

An entrant is a person or team being scored. You add entrants once for the whole event, then place them into rounds.

Who can do thisSuper AdminAdminAuditor

An entrant belongs to an event, not to a single round. The same entrant can then appear in several rounds, and in a poll. Open Entrants in the Score menu to see them all.

Find an entrant

The Entrants list showing ten of twenty demo entrants. Columns are Name, Event, Representing, Location and Created, with View and Edit buttons on each row.
  1. New entrant: opens the form to add one. Admins only.
  2. Search by name. The filter beside it narrows the list to one event.
  3. Tick rows to remove several at once with Delete selected, under Bulk actions.
  4. View opens the entrant to read it. Edit opens it to change it, and is for Admins only.

Auditors can read the list and open an entrant, but cannot add or change one. Use View to see an entrant's code, event, who they represent and where they can be found.
