Participant Registration

This section provides detailed instructions for registering participants in RhetoTab, including options for public registration and specific roles like Debater, Patron, and Judge.

Public Registration

If public registrations are open, participants can register as Debaters, Patrons, or Judges. To do so, follow these steps:

  1. Visit the Tournaments Page:

    • Access the tournaments page via the "Events" page on the main RhetoTab website.

  2. Choose Your Role:

    • Select the desired role (Debater, Patron, or Judge) to proceed with registration.

  3. Complete the Registration Form:

    • For Existing Users: If you already have an account, use the "I already have an account" option. Enter your email and follow the prompts.
    • For New Users: If you do not have an account, register by providing the required information.

Tabmaster and Patron Registration

Tabmasters and Patrons have additional capabilities for registering participants, particularly for managing roles and registrations within specific tournaments:

  1. Access the Participants Tab:

    • Navigate to the tournament details section and open the "Participants" tab.

  2. Add Participants:

    • Click on the "Add Participants" button. This option is available exclusively to Tabmasters and Patrons, with Patrons having limited permissions.

  3. Fill Out Participant Details:

    • For participants without emails, such as underage debaters, Tabmasters and Patrons can enter their names and use the "Generate Email" option. This generates a provisional email to create an account for the participant.

    {info} Provisional Emails: It is recommended to use the same provisional email for the same debater in future tournaments. Since this email is temporary, the concerned party can contact HollyTech Solutions staff to update the email to a valid one. The user can then use the "Forgot Password" option to log in.

  4. Complete Registration:

    • Click the "Register" button to finalize the participant's registration.

Notes

{info} Role-Specific Permissions: Tabmasters have full permissions to manage participants, while Patrons have restricted permissions.

{info} Email Management: Provisional emails can be updated by contacting HollyTech Solutions staff. This allows users to secure their accounts and reset passwords if needed.

For any further assistance, refer to the Support section or contact the RhetoTab support team.

Organizers and Sponsors

Organizers and Sponsors play a vital role in RhetoTab tournaments. These entities are usually registered in the system as companies and can be tagged to specific tournaments by Tabmasters and HollyTech staff.

Adding a New Company

Anyone can add their company, along with its logo and website, to the system by accessing the "New Company Form" available under any tournament's "Organizers" tab. This process does not automatically attach the company to the tournament.

Tagging a Company to a Tournament

To attach a company as an organizer or sponsor to a tournament, dedicated personnel or groups must use the "New Tournament Company Form," which is also found under the "Organizers" tab in the tournament details.

Viewing Sponsors and Organizers

Already attached sponsors and organizers will be listed at the bottom of the tournament page, both within the RhetoTab system and on the publicly accessible tournament page under the "Events" section on the main RhetoTab website.

Happy Tournaments!
