This page allows you to set up contacts for each of your member organisations as well as create club administrator user ids or perform admin tasks on behalf of clubs (If you want to. But seriously, who would want to?).

Teams Managed by this Organisation

...

Configure the categories that teams can be entered in and use these to create a registration form that will be available to Club admin users and can be made available through member sign up forms

The best approach to creating a team nomination form is to create nomination categories first. From the Team Nominations page click the Configuration tab and click on the Team Nomination Categories link beneath it. To create a new category click on the Add New Team Nomination Form link. Enter the name of the category, the type of grade it represents, the price of a new team and the maximum number of entries (if applicable). The simplest way to manage team nominations is to create one category for each grade of competition that you wish to run. Eg: if you are going to run three divisions of A grade you should create categories for A1, A2 and A3.

When your list of categories is complete you can configure a member sign up form by returning to the configuration tab and click on the Team Nomination Form link. 

To create a member sign up form click on the Add New Team Nomination Form in the top left corner of the page.

Nominations should always be set to the current season, if the wrong season is selected you may not be able to allocate teams to the correct grades.

Set the opening and closing dates for the nomination process, Player nomination can be activated with minimum and maximum number of players required. Text can be entered to help guide users through the process and additional fields such as Team name and Team coach can be activated on the form. Finally you need to select which of the categories you have created will be available through this form. Data may be easier to manage if nominations are broken into separate form (eg: juniors and seniors)

Affiliate clubs will be able to Nominate teams from the opening date set on this form. Team nominations can be made directly by participants to association's by syndicating
