Team Forms

Team Forms allow tournament organizers to create custom forms that teams must complete, such as registration confirmations, emergency contacts, or tournament agreements.

Team Forms for Organizers

Creating Forms

To create a new team form:

1. Go to your tournament dashboard
2. Navigate to Team Panel > Team Forms in the sidebar
3. Click Create Form
4. Configure the form:
   • Name - Form title teams will see
   • Description - Explain what information is needed and why
   • Form Fields - Add the fields you need
   • Allow Editing - Whether teams can modify their response after submitting

Form Field Types

You can add various field types:

Type	Use Case
Text	Short answers, names, etc.
Number	Numeric values, quantities
Select	Dropdown with predefined options
Checkbox	Yes/no questions, agreements
Date	Dates, deadlines, birthdates

Configuring Fields

For each field, you can set:

• Label - What the field is called
• Helper Text - Additional instructions
• Required - Whether the field must be completed
• Options - For select fields, the available choices

Managing Form Responses

To view team responses:

1. Open the form from your forms list
2. Go to the Teams tab
3. View each team's submission status:
   • Pending - Not yet submitted
   • Submitted - Completed
4. Click on a team to view their full response

Allowing Edits

The Allow Editing setting controls whether teams can modify their response:

• Enabled - Teams can update their submission anytime
• Disabled - Response is locked after first submission

Consider enabling edits for forms where information might change (emergency contacts), and disabling for forms that should be final (tournament agreements).

Best Practices for Organizers

Keep Forms Focused

• One form per topic or purpose
• Don't combine unrelated information requests

Write Clear Instructions

• Explain why the information is needed
• Provide examples for complex fields
• Specify any formatting requirements

Use Appropriate Field Types

• Use checkboxes for agreements
• Use select fields when options are limited
• Use text fields for open-ended answers

Set Reasonable Deadlines

• Communicate deadlines clearly in the form description
• Use announcements to remind teams of pending forms
• Consider timezone differences

Editing a Response

If editing is not allowed, you'll see a message indicating the form has been submitted and cannot be changed.

Best Practices for Teams
