Competition Application Modes

Competition Applications are used to cover all scenarios of competitions that involve the club application process, i.e., clubs can apply and undergo all steps of the application process through their COMET UI.

A responsible person (Competition Manager/Admin) can choose one of the predefined Application modes. Application modes are designed to cover all scenarios of the application process. Below are the explanations of five Application modes.

Pay After Approval

In this scenario, the club must first be approved by the administrator. If the application is approved, the club needs to make the payment to confirm participation. Workflow consists of the following steps:

1. Club submits the application or fills the Application form → Application status is set to SUBMITTED

2. Competition Admin reviews the application, in case the application is:

   1. approved, the application status is set to APPROVED

   2. not approved = returned, the application status is set to RETURNED. The club can correct and resubmit the Application for review

   3. not approved = rejected, the application status is set to REJECTED. The club is not allowed to participate in the competition

   4. not approved = added to the waiting list; the application status is set to WAITING. The club is in the waiting status until the responsible person removes it from the waiting list to set it as approved or rejected.

3. Once approved, the Competition Club pays for the application → the Application status is set to CONFIRMED (or ROSTER PENDING).

Just Apply (with Approval)

In this scenario, no payment is required; the club needs to be approved by the administrator. Workflow consists of the following steps:

1. Competition club submits the application/fills the Application form → Application status is set to SUBMITTED

2. Competition Admin reviews the application. In case the application is:

   1. approved, the application status is immediately set to CONFIRMED (or ROSTER PENDING)

   2. not approved = returned; application status is set to RETURNED. The club can correct and resubmit the Application for review

   3. not approved = rejected; the application status is set to REJECTED. The club is not allowed to participate in the competition

   4. not approved = added to the waiting list; the application status is set to WAITING. The club is in the waiting status until the responsible person removes it from the waiting list to set it as approved or rejected.

Just Apply (without Approval)

In this scenario, no approval or payment is required. This Application Type has no workflow. Once the club submits the application, it is automatically set to CONFIRMED (or ROSTER PENDING).

Just Pay

In this scenario, no approval is required; the club simply needs to pay to confirm participation. This Application Type has no workflow. Once the club pays the application from the Competition menu (as the initial step), it is automatically set to CONFIRMED (or ROSTER PENDING).

Pay Later

In this scenario, no approval is required; however, the application and payment steps can be divided. The club can apply for and book its place early, then pay at a later point.

1. The club submits the application/fills out the Application form → Application status is set to APPROVED

2. The club can pay for the Competition participation later, once it is done → the application status is set to CONFIRMED (or ROSTER PENDING).

Please review the workflow scheme for each Application Mode on the diagram below.

Automatic emails are sent from the system each time a status transition occurs in the competition application.
