Creating and Configuring Divisions

Set up divisions for your event — configure pricing, registration limits, scoring, tiebreakers, privacy, and leaderboard display per division.

Divisions let you group athletes by skill level, age, gender, team size, or any other criteria relevant to your event. You can create as many divisions as you need, and each one can be independently configured.

For example, a typical event might have Scaled, Intermediate, and Rx divisions — each with their own price, registration cap, and leaderboard behavior.

To get started, go to Registration → Divisions and click Add Division.

What You Can Configure Per Division

Description

Displayed to athletes during registration when they're choosing a division. Use this to set expectations clearly — age cutoffs for Masters divisions, movement standards for skill-based divisions, team composition requirements, and so on. The more specific you are here, the fewer questions you'll get.

Registration Limit

Cap the number of athletes (or teams) that can register for this division. Once the limit is hit, athletes are either turned away or added to a waitlist, depending on your registration settings. Leave blank for unlimited.

Pricing

Set a division-specific registration price. If no price is set here, the division falls back to the event's global pricing. Division pricing always takes priority over global pricing.

Scoring Method

Define how this division is scored — either Highest Points is Better, Lowest Points is Better, or Cumulative. If no scoring method is set at the division level, the division uses the event's global scoring method. A division-level scoring method always takes priority over the global default. See How does scoring work? for a full breakdown of each method.

Overall Tiebreaker

The Overall Tiebreaker determines which athlete ranks higher when two athletes are tied on total points. This can be set at the global level under Scoring Setup, but can also be configured differently per division. A division-level tiebreaker always takes priority over the global setting — useful when different divisions require different tiebreaker logic.

Division Rules

Rules let you restrict who can register for a division, helping ensure the right athletes sign up without requiring manual review. You can enforce eligibility based on:

  • Gender — restrict the division to a specific gender

  • Age range — set a minimum and/or maximum age, useful for Masters, Teens, or age-group divisions

For team divisions, you have additional controls:

  • Team gender composition — restrict team makeup based on gender, for example requiring a mixed-gender team or a specific male/female ratio

  • Partial team registration — allow teams to register without a full roster and fill remaining spots later. Useful when athletes want to lock in a spot before their full team is confirmed

Privacy Controls

Password-protect a division to restrict registration to invited athletes only. Useful for qualifier-fed finals, invitational divisions, or any group you don't want open to the public.

Visibility: Registration Form

Hide a division from the public registration form. Use this once a division has sold out and you don't want it appearing as an option, or to stage the opening of certain divisions.

Visibility: Leaderboard

Hide a division from the public leaderboard. Useful when a division competes on a different day and you don't want partial results appearing before they're ready.

Nation Display

Show the athlete's representing country on the leaderboard for this division. Useful for international events where national representation is part of the competitive format.

Team Size

For team events, specify how many athletes make up a team in this division. This can vary across divisions — a Mixed Team division might require 4 athletes while a Pairs division requires 2.
