Teams require coordination between multiple athletes, approval workflows, and communication channels that individual registrations don't need. This guide walks you through the entire process of setting up and managing a successful team competition.
Virtual fitness competitions are no longer an experiment. They're here to stay—and organizers who figure out how to run them well have access to a much larger pool of athletes than they ever could in person.

Most competition organizers figure out scoring the hard way. On the day, under pressure, with athletes asking questions they didn't prepare for. This guide covers every scoring decision you need to make before your event starts, so you're not guessing when it counts.
