Clubs

One club object, shared by Prepare and Analyse.

Joining

Open the Clubs page, search for your club, and request to join. A club admin approves you. If a request sits unanswered, contact your club's admin directly, because nothing on the platform chases them for you.

The All Clubs tab listing every club with its member count and average score — All Clubs.

The My Club tab with the club and the member leaderboard — My Club: the club and its members.

The Club Leaderboard tab ranking clubs by average score — The club leaderboard.

Creating one

Step 1. Search first

Most Swedish clubs are already registered. Creating a duplicate splits your members across two clubs and neither ends up with a full leaderboard.

Step 2. Submit a request

Give the name and a short description. This posts a request rather than creating the club. A platform administrator is notified by email and reviews it.

Step 3. Wait for approval

Typically within a day. You are notified when it lands, and the requester becomes the first club admin.

Why approval is not optional

A club row created directly would land unapproved (which every read policy filters out) and with nobody set as its administrator. The result would be a club only its creator could see and nobody could run. Both Prepare and Analyse post the same request instead, so the club that comes out is approved and has an admin.

What membership gives you

In	What you get
Prepare	Club leaderboards, club map statistics, and access to maps shared privately with the club
Analyse	Club-only events become visible; you can create events for the club; other runners' tracks can be narrowed to club-mates
Everywhere	Your club's logo beside your name, once an admin has uploaded one

Club subscriptions

A club can hold a subscription, and it reaches every member: belonging to any club with an active club subscription gives you the premium features, in both Prepare and Analyse. That is deliberate: belonging to a second club that has not paid does not take it away from you.

It is usually the cheaper route

One club subscription generally costs less per head than individual upgrades, and it unlocks the organiser tools that a club running its own trainings actually needs: presentation maps and multi-tile uploads in Analyse.

Being a club admin

The logo is drawn small in both products, beside a club's name. See Clubs in Analyse for what survives at 16 pixels.

Sharing maps with your club

A map you upload can be kept private, shared with your club, or shared with the whole community. Club sharing is the middle setting and the useful one for preparation: everyone trains on the terrain of the race you are all entered in, and nobody outside sees it. See the Mapping Lab.
