Adding team members into the squad of an event team

All participants that are competing at the event need to apply to join the team on BUCS Play, and must then be added into the team by an Institution Administrator (IA)/Captain in order to compete. For further information on how participants join event teams, click here.

IAs can set up Captains per team who will be able to approve the team members and add them into the team for the event (the IA can also add the team members into the team themselves). Click here for further information on how to set up a Captain.

IAs/Captains are able to approve participants and add them into the team via the BUCS Play app or desktop version:

App

1. Go to My Play and select your Sport Community.

2. Click See All Teams within the Teams section and find your team by using the search (on desktop, this will be in the Event Teams section).

3. Select your team to open your Team Hub (ensure you’re selecting the event-based team. e.g. Cardiff Lacrosse 6s Men’s 1, not Cardiff Men’s 1, which is the league/knockout team).

4. Go to Squad and click Applied.

5. Tick the checkbox to select your teammates and click Add to Squad (you can also click Reject if you wish to reject their application).

Desktop

1. Navigate to your desired Sport Community.

2. Click into the Sport Community, scroll down to Event Teams and open the Team Hub of your team.

3. Tick the names of the applicants you want to move into the squad and click the < arrow to move them over.

4. You can then click the opposite > arrow to remove them from the squad and reject them.

NB - If you reject an application and you later wish to add them to the squad, the applicant will have to reapply.
