1. Once you are logged into the contest, you are able to create a group.

2. To create a group, click on "Create a group" in the groups section of the home page of the contest or by clicking on "Create a group" from the sub navigation menu under "my groups".

3. You will need to create a group name (ex: Bayside Bulldogs) so your group can be accessed by yourself and also other people looking to join your group.

4. There are two optional choices when creating your groups: adding text for "About the group" and adding a group image or banner. Both of these are totally optional.

5. The final decision you have is to determine whether the group is public or private. The difference being, anyone can join a public group but only people you invite into your private group can join.

6. Once your group is created, you will notice that your group has the following: a leaderboard page, chat page, and an invite page. If you created the group, you will also see an admin page where you can change the group banner and group info.

7. Each group has their own standings which is on the leaderboard page inside the group. The group standings are only relevant inside the group. They have no bearing on the contest standings. They are merely a way to keep track of the group members point totals so the rest of the group’s members know who is leading within the group.

8. Each group also have a chat feature, so group members can talk to each other.

9. If your group is private, you can invite other people to join your group in the "Invites" section... where you can copy the group URL and send it to people manually. Alternatively, you can invite people using Facebook, X (Twitter), or by email. Just click on the manner you wish to invite people and our system will pre-populate an invite for you using the method you selected.

10. Now that you know everything about creating a group, try it for yourself. You will love it.
