How do I register as a team player (join an existing team)?Your 'team manager' will be able to invite you to join the team via the registration platform when they create the team, or they will be able to share the team code and/or name with you so that you can join the team manually (see below). If you are entering a pairs event, the process is similar. The first person to create the pair will be asked to invite their partner via the registration system, or alternatively, the second person will be able to search for their partners' name when registering for the event. If you want to register by joining an existing team that has been created by your team manager or have received an invite to join an existing team, this process is for you! To join a team, follow the steps below: Follow steps 1, 2 & 3 in the registration platform to select/confirm your event session When you reach the event page, click ‘Create or Join a Team’ Select ‘Join an existing team’, enter the Team Code, Team Name or Team Manager’s name for your team (see screenshot below), select your team and select your position as a player.

How do I register as a team manager (create a team, invite my colleagues and participate in a team)?For team events, your group will need to allocate a 'team manager' to enter the team into each competition. This 'team manager' will create the team, give it a unique name, and then invite each individual team member to join their team via the registration platform, or by notifying their teammates of the team code and/or name. If you want to create, manage and participate in a team, you can register as a team manager. Only a participating team manager can create a team - as such, participants can only register as the team manager if you are playing as a member of that team. To create a team, follow the steps below: - Follow steps 1, 2 & 3 in the registration platform to select/confirm your event session When you reach your selected event page, click ‘Create or Join a Team’ Select ‘Create a new team’, create a team code & team name and follow the prompts You can send invites to your team members via email address, who must register individually (see screenshot below) throughout the registration process. Alternatively, you can just tell your teammates what your team code or name is for them to look up when they register! Please note that team managers can now create multiple teams, and/or register and pay for team members on their behalf. However, we do encourage all teams to have their own team managers, and all VTG participants to register individually.

Can I just attend an event on the social schedule?Yes you can, however you still need to pay the registration fee as you will need your official VTG ID card to enter all venues and events.
-
How do I register?All VTG participants must register individually via the VTG website during the registration period. It also depends on whether you are a team manager, team member or you are an individual/looking for a team! See subsequent FAQ’s for more information.
