When you follow the instructions to enter your team information, you may be pointed to these instructions to register for a tournament (otherwise, follow your region's instructions).

If you are signing up a team, and the tournament requires adult participation (e.g. team-supplied Appraiser, Volunteer), gather the name, email, and phone number for each adult before registering.  If you don't have an email or phone number for someone, don't use yours.  If you don't have either, you're not ready to proceed.

If you're not affiliated with a team, e.g. you're a deDIcated Appraiser, just leave out the team number.

First, find the tournament that you want to sign up for in the left EVENTS column.  Click on the blue event link.  That will bring up a description of the tournament.

 At the bottom of the tournament description, under the tournament location, there will be a link to register.  Click on the blue link to start registration.  If there is no link, this tournament is not (yet?) configured to use on-line registration.

Now we're going to enter information about the adults signing up with the team, one by one.  In our example, we'll use the Caldi siblings: parent Ido is going to be the Team Manager, and Aunt Ann and Uncle Samuel will be the Appraiser and Volunteer.

• The first adult is always you!  Don't try to change your email address here.
• You need to explicitly reserve slots for the additional adults you'll be registering.  [The webmaster regrets this interface, but it's free software]
• If you're not affiliated with a team, empty out this team number; otherwise, complete it.

When you click on "Register additional...", a box to say how many appears.  Fill in the data and press Continue.

After you hit Continue, you are presented with a place to describe the second adult.  In our example, we filled in Aunt Ann's information {acaldi@example.com, Appraiser, 105-00000, Ann, Caldi, 408-555-0105} and pressed Continue...

... and encountered a problem!...

Ann is already known to California Creativity — perhaps she was an appraiser last year — but she's registered with a different email address.  To fix this, you'll probably change the email address to acaldi@gmail.com.  But if you know that acaldi@gmail.com is really Grandma Ann and not Aunt Ann, you'll need to change Ann's name to be unique from her mom's.  Or if you know Ann's gmail address is obsolete, please accept it for now, and ask the clerk to change it.

If the person is not known but the email address is already in use by someone else, and you know the two people share the same email address, you can change what you type in to be accepted by the system by adding .001 after it [a period, followed by three digits].  For example, if Ido and Ann shared email but Ann was not yet known, you would change idocaldi@example.com to idocaldi@example.com.001 — this is another way we get around the limitations of our free software.

Now let's enter the information for Uncle Samuel as our volunteer.

There's one more step to take after the registration confirmation page comes up,

and that is to go back to My team and look to make sure all the information is properly reflected in the team information.

There's a problem!  Where's Uncle Sam?  Ah, look back up at where we entered his data — we forgot to enter our team number!  That means we have to go back through the registration steps again and add him properly.

• Remember the first person is always you.  Just repeat your role.
• Remember to look carefully at the entered information before pressing Continue.

Lookl again at My team and see...

Note there is a duplicate Team Manager entry (for the two times signed up).  You can delete one, or a clerk may do that for you later, but even if they don't, a real person won't expect two "Ida"s.  Note that the Delete button has no confirmation step — click wisely.

Thanks for reading this example all the way to the end, and if you need help, ask clerk0910@californiacreativity.org
