Path: Manager console → Create event (or club home → create)

Team options (external create flow) #
The public Easy Event Create form (marketing landing wizard) adds optional team setup for team_ch and competitions:
| Event Team value | Behavior |
|---|---|
org |
Organizer-defined teams only (only_private_teams); comma-separated Team Names pre-created; required "Pick Team" registration question |
participant |
Participants can create/join teams; team standings enabled on distances (competitions) or challenge (have_teams) |
Console Create event uses the same presets but team names are configured afterward under challenge/competition team settings.
Copy from template #
Duplicate an existing club event as a starting point — settings, distances, and pages copy over; dates and registrations reset.
Some DistantRace template challenges can be copied from the global library when allow_copy is enabled.
After creation #
| Event kind | Next step |
