This guide explains how to manually add teams and anglers in-person to your fishing tournament using Web Pro Tournament Manager. This is ideal for on-site registration or when adding participants directly in the system.

Adding a Team

To add a team to your tournament:

1. In the "Registered Teams" section on the Tournament Setup page, click the + Add team button.
2. Enter the team name in the Team Name field. This is a required field.
3. Optionally, if additional team information is needed (e.g., team division or captain's name), check the box for "Make changes to this team or add anglers after adding to tournament" before proceeding.
4. Click Add team to tournament to save the team. The team will appear in the "Registered Teams" list.

Adding an Angler

Once at least one team is added, add individual anglers to your tournament:

1. In the "Registered Anglers" section on the Tournament Setup page, click the + Add angler button.
2. Enter the angler's name in the "Angler Name" field. This is a required field.
3. Use the "Register to team" dropdown to select the team you want to assign the angler to.
4. Click Continue to save the angler and access their editable profile. The angler will appear in the "Registered Anglers" list under the selected team.

Note: Existing angler profiles may auto-suggest as you type, allowing you to select a known angler instead of creating a new one.

Required Fields and Flexibility

• Required fields for teams and anglers (e.g., name, contact info) are configured under the "Registration" tab in the main tournament settings. However, you can add teams or anglers with incomplete information, which will display in red in the "Registered Teams" or "Registered Anglers" lists until all required details are added.
• If you need to correct a mistake, click the team or angler's name in the list to edit or remove them.

Avoiding Common Pitfalls

• Ensure team and angler names are unique within the tournament. If a name already exists, use a slight variation (e.g., "Test Team 2" or "Bob P. Smith").
• For tournaments without teams, remember to add a placeholder team first to enable angler registration.
• Double-check required fields to avoid entries appearing in red, which can cause confusion during scoring or reporting.

Bulk Upload Option

If you have a list of teams or anglers in a spreadsheet, you can use the Upload list button on the Tournament Setup page to import them. When uploaded from the Tournament Setup page, anglers and teams will be automatically registered to your tournament when uploaded.

You can also access this same feature from the Manage Anglers Profiles page to upload anglers and create profiles without directly connecting them to a tournament.
