Team Management
Creating a team
Open the tournament and choose Teams
Name the team and pick its members
World Schools teams have exactly 3 speakers. iRank will not accept more or fewer.
Save
The team appears as pending until payment is settled or waived.
A student can only be in one team per tournament. If you try to add a student who is already placed, iRank tells you which team they are in.
Team lineups for international tournaments
International tournaments allow a squad. You register more speakers than will debate — five, for instance — and choose which three take each round.
Set the lineup per round before that round is paired. Once a ballot has been submitted for a room, that round’s lineup is locked; the record of who actually debated must not change afterwards.
Local and Dreams Mode tournaments do not use lineups. The team that registers is the team that debates.
Payment status
A team shows one of three states:
| State | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Pending | Not yet paid |
| Paid | Payment confirmed by a coordinator |
| Waived | Entered with a waiver code |
Teams move to paid only when confirmed payments cover the full amount your school owes. A partial payment marks nothing — see Payments.
Withdrawing a team
A withdrawn team is removed from future draws and is not billed. It stays on the tournament record, so results it already produced are unaffected.
