Competition Admins and Managers can create and manage competitions organized as Parent and Child competitions (competition elements). This is often used when the competition needs to be organized in phases (e.g., groups, playoffs) and when the parent competition's data settings need to be transferred or copied to its competition elements (Child competitions).
Parent competitions serve as the superordinate competition to which other competition elements or child competitions are added.

Add Parent Competition to Element
Although this should not be a regular course of action, in the case where a specific competition was created and started before its parent competition was established, you can still add the Parent Competition to the already created Competition Element from the Competition Element screen.
Please ensure you have already created a Competition to be selected as the “Parent” before proceeding.

The number of teams in Child Competition needs to be less than or equal to the number of teams in Parent Competition

Teams and Rosters in Competition Elements
MyCOMET Features described in this section will be deployed on all Demo instances by 28 October 2026 and migrated to Production on 05 January 2027.
Teams - when adding clubs (or teams) to a competition element, only those already added to the parent competition are listed. Enable the Show All switch to see all eligible clubs. For details, see Add Clubs and Start Competition.
Rosters - the Roster Submission Mode selected on the parent competition defines where team rosters are maintained:
-
Defined on Competition Element - rosters cannot be added to the parent competition. The roster submission mode is defined separately for each competition element, and rosters are added separately for each competition element.
-
Any other mode - rosters are maintained only once, on the parent competition, and apply to all its elements. The Roster tab for each competition element displays an info box with a direct link to the team's roster in the parent competition.
For details, see Roster Workflows.
