Clubs

One registry across all three products — created here or in Prepare, read by everything.

A club is a platform object, not an Analyse one. The same club owns events here, appears on leaderboards in Prepare, and puts a badge on result rows in Live. There is one registry and one moderation queue.

Getting a club created

Search first — most Swedish clubs are already registered. If yours genuinely is not, submit a request with the name and a short description; a platform administrator is notified and approves it.

Why it is a request rather than a create

Inserting a club row directly looks like it works and does not. A new row lands unapproved, which every read policy filters out, and nothing makes the creator an administrator of it — so you would end up with a club only you could see and nobody could run. Both Analyse and Prepare post the same request instead, and the club that comes out the other end is approved and has an admin.

Joining

Depending on the club's join policy you either join directly or request membership and wait for an admin. Club admins see pending requests on the club page and approve or decline them there.

Administering a club

Club admins can:

  • Upload and remove the club logo
  • Approve, decline and remove members, and promote a member to admin
  • Create events owned by the club
  • Be given access to every club event before its release time, if the event's admin scope is set to club members

The logo is drawn small in all three products. See Clubs and club logos for what makes one work at 16 pixels, and note that changing it changes it everywhere at once.

Club events

An event owned by a club can be set to club-only visibility, in which case only members see it. The organiser also chooses whether the event's admins are just the creator or every club member — which decides who can edit it and who can see the map before release.

For a club training series, widening admin scope to club members is usually right: it means the upload is not blocked on one person being available.
