How Do I Register My Child for a Competition?

The short version of registering a child, and the questions parents ask most.


Quick Steps

  1. Open Events in your Parent/Guardian Portal
  2. Find the competition, in Other Events or by searching
  3. Press Register on its card
  4. Pick which child, if you are viewing all of them
  5. Complete the registration details on the event page and submit

The event then appears under Your Events with a badge naming the registered child, and on that child's dashboard card.


Common Questions

Q: The Register button asks me to pick a child every time.
A: That happens while the header is on All dancers. Pick one child in the Viewing chips and the button reads "Register (their name)" and goes straight there.

Q: Can I register more than one child for the same event?
A: Yes. Register them one at a time. In the which-child list, anyone already registered shows a Registered badge instead of a button.

Q: My child is with a studio. Should I register, or should the studio?
A: Either works. If the studio is registered for the event they can add your child themselves. Registering here does not stop them, and it does not create a second dancer.

Q: My child has no studio. Can they still take part?
A: Where the event accepts independent dancers, yes, and the event page registers them that way. Where it does not, the event page says so.

Q: I do not have a Parent/Guardian option when registering from the event link.
A: Choosing Parent/Guardian on an event page grants the role and hands you to your portal to create or claim a dancer first, then brings you back to the event. If that did not happen, sign in and open /portal/guardian directly.

Q: What happens after I register?
A: Your child's dashboard card shows the event with an Open (their name)'s event button. Inside that portal are their schedule, entries, and results as the organiser releases them.

Q: Does registering enter my child in routines?
A: No. Registration says they are taking part. Entries, the individual routines, are added afterwards by the studio, or from the child's own event portal for an independent dancer.
