Participants under 18 must be registered by a parent or legal guardian. Therefore, whenever participants below 18 are being registered for a team, it is compulsory for the team to be created by someone 18 or older. 

Below are the three solutions we recommend to create team registration categories for people below 18 (detailed setup process are elaborated in the following sections):

A. Use Self-Registration Teams and Non-Participating Team Captain Together
B. Use Group-Registration Team Price Type
C. Use Custom Form Questions to Collect Team Member Information

  • Note: An example of "Junior Team of 2" with age limit "12 to 17" is used in demonstration below.


Solution A. Use Self-Registration Teams and Non-Participating Team Captain Together:

Two separate price types will be created to "Create a Team"(non-participating team captain) and "Join a Team" (Self-Registration Team for below 18). Setup steps are provided below with an example of "Junior Team of 2":

  1. Open Event Setup > Step 3: Registration Categories
  2. Click Add a Category to create a separate registration category, for example, "Junior Team"
  3. Add "Create a Team" Price Type:
    1. Click Add a price
    2. Select Non-participating team captain as price type
    3. Fill in Display name and Price
      • Note: You can add note to Display Name to note the difference between team captain and member registration, for example, "Junior Team of 2 (Parent/Guardian Create team here)"
      • Note: You can add price per team here to require full team registration payment to be made as soon as the team is createdUser-added image

  4. Add "Join a Team" Price Type
    1. Click Add a price

      • Note: If price per team has been added to "Create a Team" price type above, you can set price as "0" here. If price of "Create a Team" is "0", you can add the amount "price per person" here.

  10. ​​​Modify Form Questions​
    • Note: There are three sections on Step 6: Form questions, namely, Individual, Team and Team Member. In registration flow of group-registration teams, questions on Individual page are to be answered by team captain only, whereas questions on Team Member page are to be responded by both team captain and members.You can avoid requiring team captains to answer duplicate questions of both pages by unchecking form question availability on Individual page and creating questions accordingly on Team Member page.
    1. Go to Step 6: Form questions
    2. Modify Individual form questions
      1. Click Edit Form on Individual page
      2. Locate question to be hidden from team captain page > Click pencil icon at its top right
      3. Go to Advanced settings
      4. Uncheck / Check limit to specific registration categories and price types accordingly > Click Apply
        • ​​Note: A "section header" can be added as remarks of adult team captain registration and participation rules on this page. It is recommended to set its availability to group-registration team price type only.
    3. Modify Team Member form questions
      1. Click Team Member
      2. Click Edit form
      3. Add new questions accordingly
      4. (Optional) Edit existing questions
      5. Click Save

Solution C. Use Custom Form Questions to Collect Team Member Information

This setup is appropriate when the team entry price is a fixed amount. During online registration process, one adult is going to register for all junior participants by choosing "someone else below 18" and answer team questions. 

Note: Team member registrations are collected by form questions. After registrations are generated, team member names will be listed in form question responses. In event's Participants tab, adult team captain's name will be listed.

  1. At Step 3: Registration categories, create a Individual price type for team registration
    • Note: Add correct price to team registration here
