# Team Competitions

Setting up a Teams competition is the same as an individual competition, except for the type of the competition you would need to select one that allows 2+ players.

*Please note: we advise against using divisions for team competitions*

There are 2 ways of scoring team competitions -Team Scorecard and Individual Scorecard

Quick tips  
**Team competitions where the team uses a single scorecard (e.g. Foursomes, Ambrose)**

Only 1 scorecard should be used per team

Registration of players and putting them into Teams should be done prior to the competition day.

Restrict players to pre-registered players only.

Cards should be pre-generated from the competition pre-generate cards area for the system to calculate the correct team handicap.

Entry fee should include green fee in the comp set up so the system won't attach a non-affiliated green fee to each cards.

For multi-round competitions, players should have the same team throughout. Unteaming them after each round will show the results for the new team

**Team competitions where each member of the team has their own individual scorecard, but both scores form together a team score (e.g. 4BBB)**

Individual scorecards can be used for this competition

You may or may not pre-register the players

You may or may not pre-print the cards as members can have the option to print their individual cards and decide whether they want to join the competition depending on your competition set up.

If players are not teamed prior to the comp, the players themselves can choose their partner or team when returning the cards.

Once players have been registered, you may team them depending on the type of competition you have set. With this example, a team of 4 players is needed for the competition

**How to Team Players**

Click "Player Registration"

Across the player’s name there is ‘Remove’ and ‘Team’. Click on ‘Team’

You can do the same with Player 4. Once 4 players have been teamed, you may edit the team’s name or unteam them if you want to change the members of the team.
