# Racing together

> Get your team's name next to your riders in results, and register several members in one checkout.

Being on a team doesn't change how you enter a race — it changes what shows up
next to your name in the results.

## The rider picks their team at registration

This is the part people expect to be more complicated than it is. **The team
shown next to a rider's name is chosen by that rider during registration, on
every entry.** It's not assigned by the organizer, and it isn't locked to
anything.

That means it can be:

* **A Time2Bike club** you're a member of.
* **A college or high-school program**.
* **A shop, a sponsor, or whoever pays your entries**.
* **Nothing** — a personal entry.

Riders on a Time2Bike team get theirs filled in automatically from their
profile's default. Everyone else types a name in a free-text field. Both end up
in the same place: next to the rider's name in the start list and the results.

<Note>
  Nothing about the free-text version requires a team to exist on Time2Bike. A
  rider can type "Cascade Cycling" whether or not there's a Cascade Cycling
  club here. Being on a real team just saves them the typing and unlocks
  everything else in this section — rosters, practices, bulk registration.
</Note>

## Racing under your team

Riders pick their team during registration, on the participant row for each
race: **Racing for Coldwater Composite**.

The easiest way to make that automatic is a **default team**.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open the rider's profile">
    `time2.bike/profiles/[participantId]`.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Find the Race Team card">
    It only appears if that rider belongs to at least one team.

    > !!-IMAGE-NEEDED-!! — The **Race Team** card on a rider profile, with one team selected as Default.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Pick the default">
    Choose a team, or **Personal entry (no team shown)**.
  </Step>
</Steps>

From then on, that team is applied automatically every time they register, and
it's shown next to their name in results. You can still remove it for a one-off
personal entry during any single registration.

### Riders not on a Time2Bike team

Anyone can type a free-text team, club, or sponsor name during registration —
that's the **+ Add team / club / sponsor name** link on the participant row. It's
stored on that one registration and shown in results. Sponsored riders use it to
credit whoever pays their entry.

## Registering several members at once

Team owners and admins can put multiple riders into one race and pay in a single
checkout.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Make sure members have consented">
    On the roster, each member has a **Consent** toggle for admin registration.
    Members and their parents control it. See [Roster & roles](/teams/roster).
  </Step>

  <Step title="Open the team and click Bulk register team">
    It's on the team **Overview**, under *Race together*. Or go straight to
    `/teams/[teamId]/register`.

    > !!-IMAGE-NEEDED-!! — The bulk register screen with its three columns: Members, Event, Race.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Pick members, an event, and a race">
    Three columns, left to right. Search the event list if it's long.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Continue to checkout">
    You land in the normal [registration flow](/riders/registering/registration-flow)
    with everyone pre-filled and the team already attached. Review per-member
    pricing and waivers, then pay once.
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Note>
  Relay races aren't available for bulk registration — only individual-format
  races are listed. Relay teams are built inside the registration flow itself
  and are a different thing from your club team.
</Note>

## What organizers see

Organizers running the event see each rider's team affiliation alongside their
name in registrations, start lists, and results. They can't edit your team, and
your team can't edit their event.

See [Teams, from an organizer's side](/organizers/organization/teams).
