Registering for an Event

Before You Can Enter

• Tick the Fighter role in your settings.
• Confirm your email address.
• Fill in your fighter profile.

Then open the event and press Register. The form opens below it: your competition weight, and — if the event charges an entry fee — the price and the card details. Nothing is entered until you submit it, and Cancel closes it again.

Registration Has to Be Open

An event is only enterable while registration is open. The host either opens and closes it by hand, or sets a window when they create the event, in which case it opens and closes on its own at those times.

If the event page shows no Register button, registration has not opened yet or has already closed. There is no waiting list you can add yourself to.

What You Enter

The weight you intend to compete at, and whether to save it to your profile as the weight you currently expect to make. See declaring your weight.

What Happens Next

Your entry goes to the host, who approves or rejects it. Not to BoutHost, and not to a federation. The event page then shows your own entry at the top — You're entered while the host has not reviewed it, You're in once they approve it.

You are emailed when the host reviews your entry, and the host is emailed when you submit one.

Your Name Appears Publicly

A published event lists its competitors on a page anyone can see, whether or not they are signed in.

That listing shows your name, the weight you declared for that event, the record on your profile, and your gym and its town. It never shows your date of birth, your age, your email address or your postal address.

Entries that are approved or pending are listed. A rejected or withdrawn entry never is.

Read the privacy policy before entering a young competitor.

Being Told When Things Change

Once you have entered, you are emailed if the event is canceled, if its dates or venue change, or if the schedule moves. That is the main reason a confirmed email address is required.

Your Fight Record

The win/loss/draw figures on your profile are numbers you type. BoutHost shows them as self-reported wherever they appear, including on the public competitor list. Nothing checks them against a federation's record.
