As part of our Team improvements, we have decided to separate out the Create and Join Team options into two separate buttons.

Team Captains can easily invite friends and family to join their team with Team Member Invites. Emails with a customizable invitation message and a direct link to join your team can be sent via RunSignUp or your personal email so that your friends can easily sign up for your team. There are a couple of […]

Race Directors can now give Captains the ability to do several things: Allow Team Type to be changed. If there are multiple team types, like a 2 person or a 4 person team. Note that price differences will be ignored. Change Team Gender. For example change from a Male only team to a Co-ed team. […]

We have added several new features for Groups or Teams. Event Soft Caps The first one is “Soft Caps”. This is very useful for wave races, for example, obstacle course races. The basic idea is that you may have a cap of the number of people in a wave, but you want their friends to […]

You can now customize the word used for Administrators for Groups and Teams: This is set on the Group/Team Setup page under the Overall Group Settings.

We have added a variety of controls on the visibility for Groups and Teams under the Race -> Display -> Participant Display: This let’s a race director set which data fields can be seen by the Public, by Team Members and by Team Admins.

Team Captains now have access to a report of group/team members, contact info and t-shirt sizes. Many team captains order their own team shirts in addition to the ones the race gives out. So, the captains need an easy way to pull this information. This is accessible on the Group/Team page by clicking View Roster […]

We have made the error message when there is a required team selection:  

We implemented fuzzy search logic in the Group/Team search to make it easier to find teams in large races.

We’ve made a small change to make it simpler for people signing up multiple participants for a group or team. After the first person signing up creates and selects an existing team or group to join, when they add participants to the same event and add them to a team, it now auto-selects the team […]

We now give race directors the option to turn on the ability for team/group captains to create a team/group. You set this up in the Advanced Settings part of Team/Group setup: When this is checked, then a button will appear on the Team/Group page as seen below:

We saw this little exchange on a Facebook group the other day, and it made us happy for two reasons: One of our big Participant Management goals is to make those processes – joining/changing teams, event transfers, bib exchanges, etc – easy for the race by making it seamless for runners to handle on their own. […]

We made the following updates to teams: 1.  When you transfer (event or bib), it auto-selects the team of the original registration.  It also properly handles team size caps when you are transferring for a team that is full. 2.  An option on the team type setup to disable captains from adding and removing members.  It also has an […]

We now provide a way to set a date when joining teams is no longer allowed. This was a request from the Fifth Third River Bank Run, and makes sense for races who need to coordinate team bibs and other team oriented resources and continue to leave regular registration open. The option is under Advanced […]

We updated the Group and Team listing to include just the First Name and last Initial based on user feedback.  

One of the nice things about RunSignUp has been our ability to have team members sign up independently of each other. This allows each person to pay for themselves and answer custom questions for themselves, enter their own USAT number, etc. We have added a new option to force the complete team to be entered […]
