Relay guideTeam Competition guideClub Activity guide

Team Competition is individual event entry managed by a club or representative-team captain. Joining a squad indicates availability; selection, entry, payment and start allocation happen separately. Use the instructions for your role.

Instructions reflect your current role. Management access is limited to your authorised event and team; reading a guide does not change your permissions.

1. Individual runners, managed by a team

Entrants and runners

Team Competition uses Individual entries managed by an authorised captain. It has no Relay legs or TBC runners. Squad availability, selection, entry confirmation, payment and start allocation are different steps. An entry can be awaiting start allocation: do not invent a start time.

2. Join or withdraw from your squad

Entrants and runners

Use the team's availability link, sign in and choose an athlete you represent. Join the {club_short_name} squad uses the team's short name where available. Joining the squad lets your captain know you're available for selection. It does not enter you in the event or guarantee a place. Withdraw my availability changes availability only; it neither cancels a submitted entry nor removes an assigned start. Ask the captain to handle entry changes separately.

3. Captain, runner and club payments

Entrants and runners

Captains select outstanding entries in Team payments for card payment. An authorised runner signs in with an account representing that athlete and uses Pay for my entry. Authorised team managers can invoice selected entries only when the representative team is linked to an O-entry club. All methods settle the same charges, including additional amendments; do not create a replacement payment for an uncertain attempt. An invoice being issued is not proof of payment or entry confirmation. Start allocation is separate from financial state. Refunds are outside O-entry.

4. Captain-managed safety and confidentiality

Entrants and runners

Captains maintain relevant runner medical and emergency information outside O-entry and ensure it is available at the event. These entries do not collect a declaration or transmit it to the organiser. Captains cannot access athlete-profile medical information through their role. Arrange advance precautions directly with the organiser. Keep your team's unpublished runner selections and start ordering confidential.
