Select Team Options for TeamRaiser Events
The Team Options involve options around how teams are formed and if they can be associated with companies. You can also create divisions (like Corporate and Family) to offer different competitive levels.
Note: Team formation is enabled by default. You can turn this option off if the fundraising event does not need teams but you plan to use other participation options offered in the application.
You can also:
Enable donors to give gifts to an entire team of participants instead of a single participant
Restrict the size of the team and number of captains per team
Allow captains to limit joining a team to only those participants who have the password
If the fundraising events include a phase that will use teams led by a celebrity or for a special purpose outside the normal team function, you can enable the Honorary Teams option. These honorary teams are not associated with the teams that the participants have joined.
As a related action, you can also add special questions to display on only the registration forms of registrants who select to form a new team (which automatically makes them the captain of that team) .
If the appropriate options allowing teams to form again are enabled, captains and members from teams who participated in the prior event to which the current one is linked can bring back and rejoin their team. Additional options are available to determine:
Who can form the returning team in the new event
Who can be captain of the returning team in the new event. If the team captain does not have to be captain, each person who registers is asked if they would like to be the Team Captain until one accepts. If no one accepts the role, then the team will be considered "captainless", which means that an event manager or coordinator must step in to be sure that the people who have joined the team are getting the appropriate communications, instructions, and so on.
If the Team page from the linked event can be used again
To help facilitate communication to captains and members of teams from the previous event, event administrators and managers can create and send email that selects Previous Event Participants as the Email Audience. And then, a filter can be set to email all members of teams from the previous event who have not yet been formed for this event or only captains of teams from the previous event who have not yet formed their team again in this event.
