Inviting Teammates
If you have registered in the platform for the contest as a team, and you choose to create a new team, then as the captain of the newly created team, you can invite other team members to join your team.
The platform requires each team member to sign up for themselves, and have their own accounts with seperate logins.

- Method A - From the Dashboard: Go to the Teams section in your dashboard, at the bottom you will see the Invite Members button.
- Method B - Through Manage Accounts Page: Go to the Manage Accounts page, and switch to the Teams tab, you will see the Invite Members button.
Once you have generated a invite code for your team, share it with your team and ask them to register for the contest. New members shall not be able to join or register if the organizer Lock Profiles.
You may create new codes, view existing codes, revoke codes generated anytime through the same popup accessible from the Invite Members button. A generated code is valid indefinitely, unless revoked.
Transferring Captaincy
If you are the captain of the team you have registered with, you have the option to transfer the captaincy to any other member in the team. You become the captain automatically if you had signed up for the team (created the team), and therefore, you need to invite other team mates to your team if any of them need to be handed over the captaincy.
