Add Participant

Participants are encouraged to register themselves using the Registration Form. However, there are instances where you may need to add participants manually, such as when dealing with physical forms, when a participant arrives at the event without prior registration, or when entries have already closed.

This page is located under Manage Event > Add Participant.

The same form opens in a window when you click Add Participant while importing scores for a shooter who is not entered yet.

Steps to Add a Participant​

  1. Select an Event: Choose an event from the blue Select Event section above.

Select Event

  1. Find the athlete: Start typing the athlete's name or email address. Pick them from the list to attach their profile to the entry.

    Can't find someone?

    Athletes can keep their profile out of name search. If you know the person is on Target Score, search with their full email address instead.

  2. Complete the entry: Fill in whatever you know — division, classification, categories, and any questions from the event's own entry form. Every field is optional when an organizer is adding the entry, since the participant is not there to answer. You can fill in the rest later from Manage Participants.

  3. Choose how it is paid: Pick a price option and any add-ons, then either a payment method or No charge (comp entry). A comp entry is approved immediately and costs the participant nothing. If an add-on asks for a size, you can leave it blank and fill it in later — see Add-Ons.

  4. Decide about the email: Leave Email the participant a confirmation ticked to let them know they are entered. Entries paid through Stripe always email the payment link.

  5. Save: Click Submit.

If the athlete does not have a profile​

Click Create Athlete Profile at the bottom of the search results. First and last name are required; gender, hand dominance and email are optional.

warning

If a participant is added without an email address, they will not receive email notifications, will not be able to access their personal performance in the app, and may be excluded from club records. Use a valid email address whenever possible.

If the email you enter already belongs to a profile — often a private one that name search will not show — Target Score selects that profile instead of creating a duplicate.

After saving​

You stay on the page and see a summary of the entry: its status, entry number and a link to the invoice.

If the entry still has to be paid for, the summary carries a payment link. Copy it to send to the participant, or click Open checkout to take the card there and then. The link keeps working, so it is safe to send on later.

Click Add another participant to enter the next one.

Things to know​

  • A full event does not block you. If the event is at capacity you are warned, but the entry still goes in — an organizer adding someone is always allowed to exceed the limit. The participant is never sent to the waitlist.
  • Closed entries do not block you either, and are not worth warning about: adding an entry by hand is how you enter someone once entries have closed.
  • Each athlete can only be entered once. If the athlete already has an entry in this event, Target Score says so instead of creating a second one. To bring back someone who withdrew, register them again through the normal flow — they get a fresh entry for the organizer to approve.
