  • How Team Captains Can Add Virtual Team Members

    • Before You Start:

    • Your Coordinator needs to create your Tournament and
    • create your team within the Tournament.

    You Will Need Your Virtual Member's:

    • Name (preferred name)
    • Date of birth (1st of Jan can be used if only year known)
    • Gender (prefer not to say is available)
    • Location (country, state, post code only)
    • Steps or time spent doing moderate or vigorous activity regularly.
    Only Member's name and steps are visible to other members.

    Please Note:

    • Both the Coordinator and the Team Captain can add Virtual Members to a team, and log steps on their behalf.
    • Using Virtual Members adds additional time to Coordinating and/or Captaincy - consider if this is feasible for your team.
