Self-Service Participant Signup for Challenges and Competitions

Keep the score leaderboard with registration Keepthescore.com leaderboard with registration

Managing competitions shouldn't be a competition itself. With Keepthescore.com's participant signup feature, you can put participants in control of their own profiles while you focus on running your event.

This powerful self-service tool eliminates manual entry tasks and allows participants to join your leaderboard directly. Whether you're organizing sports leagues, classroom competitions, or corporate events, participant signup maintains the integrity of your leaderboard while saving you valuable time.

You can determine whether participants can add their own scores or whether they can only manage their own profiles.

Why did we build this?

Previously, leaderboard administrators had to manually add all participants or use the "restricted view" which had limitations. Then we added participant signup to streamline this process while giving participants more control over their own profiles.

Now, with manual participant addition, we've given you the best of both worlds - the efficiency of self-registration plus the flexibility to manage participants directly when needed.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I download an email list of all signed-up participants?

This is useful for lead generation.

How do I enable participant signup for my leaderboard?

What can participants do after registering?

Registered participants can update their own name, score (if allowed), and profile image. They cannot modify other participants' information or the leaderboard settings.

Can I still add participants manually when registration is activated?
