Member group eligibility

Member group eligibility

Use Member group eligibility to specify members who can or cannot participate in a Competition. The default is ALL members are eligible to participate, as shown in the screenshot above.

Member groups are NOT pre-created

To select other groups to be eligible to participate in a Competition, you can easily create Member Groups. Your creation options are:

Option Nr. 1

In the CompetitionLabs console, navigate to Members β†’ Members List, where pre-created members can be updated with member groups via CSV file upload (you can read about Member update or creation from CSV file upload here)

Or manually editing each member and adding a new group. After the step is completed then inΒ Competition creation β†’ Step 2: Entrants in β€œMember group eligibility” field – once you start typing a suggestion of groups available to you will appear.

Member group eligibility guide

Β Β  MUST
The default β€˜ALL’ has aΒ Member group eligibility rule, which means that all members can participate. Other groups with a Member group eligibility rule mean that all members that can participate have to be in the group or groups.

OBJECTIVE: Only members in Test groups1 and 2 can participate in the Competition. Members in only one of these two groups cannot participate.

Member group eligibility

SITUATION: Three members in different member groups:

Member_1 (groups:Β  β€œTest_group_1”, β€œTest_group_2”)

Member_2 (groups:Β  β€œTest_group_1”)

Member_3 (groups:Β  Β β€œTest_group_2”)

OUTCOME:Β Only Member 1 can participate in the competition because Members 2 and 3 do not meet the requirement of the Member group eligibility rule, that participants must be in Test Groups 1 and 2.

Β Β  SHOULD
Adding aΒ Member group eligibility rule group makes the Should match at least 1 field appear, where you can insert the number of groups in which a member should be, in order to be eligible to participate in the Competition.

OBJECTIVE: Only members in Test groups 1, 2 and 3 can participate in the Competition. As the value of Should match at least 1 has been set to 2, members in any two of the three groups can participate in the Competition.

Member group eligibility

SITUATION: Four members registered in different groups:

Member_1 (groups:Β  β€œTest_group_1”, β€œTest_group_2”, β€œTest_group_3”)

Member_2 (groups:Β  β€œTest_group_1”)

Member_3 (groups:Β  Β β€œTest_group_2”)

Member_4 (groups:Β  β€œTest_group_1”, β€œTest_group_3”)

OUTCOME:Β Only Members 1 and 4 can participate in the Competition, as the others do not meet the Member group eligibility rule of being in two groups.

Β Β  MUST-NOT
Use this rule when you do not want specific member groups to participate in a Competition.

OBJECTIVE: Members registered in Test group1 cannot participate.

Member group eligibility

SITUATION: Three members in different member groups:

Member_1 (groups:Β  β€œTest_group_1”, β€œTest_group_2”)

Member_2 (groups:Β  β€œTest_group_1”)

Member_3 (groups:Β  Β β€œTest_group_2”)

OUTCOME:Β Only Member 3 can participate in the Competition, as Members 2 and 3 are in Member group eligibility Test group 1..

OBJECTIVE:Β 

To create a Competition with member group eligibility rules that include – 1 Member group eligibility, 3Β Member group eligibility and 1Β Member group eligibility. Seven members in pre-defined member groups will participate in the Competition. The results are as followed.

Member_7 : β€œTest_group_1”, β€œTest_group_2”, β€œTest_group_3”, β€œTest_group_4”

We have five member groups in a Competition, that can or cannot participate in it, according to the Member group eligibility,Β Member group eligibility andΒ Member group eligibility rules:
