Athlete and Competitor Profiles

Give an athlete a consistent sporting identity across supported profiles and competitions. Keep public information useful while preserving the organiser’s control over entries and official outcomes.

Distinguish the Athlete From an Event Entry

An athlete profile represents the person. A competition entry records their participation in a particular event, including event-specific information and eligibility. Reusing a profile avoids treating each appearance as an unrelated person, but it does not merge the permissions of different organisers.

Keep Public and Private Information Separate

Public discovery exposes supported profile information. Management-only details such as contact information, internal notes and eligibility data remain restricted. Review visibility and only publish photographs or biography information that the athlete is entitled to share.

Support Ownership and Claims

Eligible unclaimed athlete profiles can be invited through the existing verified-email claim flow. After a successful claim, the athlete can manage their profile from their account workspace. The invitation process does not hand over control of an organiser's event records.

Connect the Wider Sporting Story

Use a profile as the foundation for an athlete website where ownership permits. Link to eligible published competitions and official outcomes. Personal reporting and promotional content should remain clearly separate from organiser-entered results.

Fictional demonstration

Worked Example

A fictional boxer appears in two competitions using the same athlete identity. They later claim the profile and update their biography, while each organiser retains its own entry and result records.

Start With Your Athlete Identity

Use an eligible athlete profile or the supported creation and claim workflow. Review public information and publication permission. Website ownership, official event entries and organiser-controlled results remain separate, so make each change in the tool responsible for that record.

Questions About This Feature

Check how this fits your club, website or event before getting started.

Can an athlete change their event weigh-in?

No. The event organiser controls competition entry information, weigh-ins and official results.

Can I create a website from an athlete profile?

The athlete identity owner can create a supported website. Having access to manage an event entry alone is insufficient.
