Adding and editing eligibility rules

Q: Adding and editing eligibility rules

Adding and editing eligibility rules Go to Admin → Setup → Eligibility . Click to add or edit a rule: each one is a plain-English statement the entrant must confirm before they can submit into a category, e.g. "The event took place between 1 July 2025 and 30 June 2026." Like Questions, each rule is assigned to specific categories, or tick "all categories" so it applies everywhere automatically (including new categories you create later). Whether entrants are actually required to confirm eligibility (vs. it just being informational) is controlled by "Require Eligibility Confirmation," settable at the whole-program level or overridden per category on the category edit page. When required, an entrant must answer "Yes" to every applicable rule before their entry is accepted. Formatting. The rule text field supports light formatting — type the syntax directly, no toolbar needed: **bold** , *italic* , ### a heading , - a bullet list , --- for a divider line, and [link text](https://example.com) for a link. Press Enter for a line break within the same paragraph, or leave a blank line to start a new paragraph. Plain text with none of these characters displays exactly as typed.
