The Complexity of Team-Based Competitions
For events like 4-person hackathons, 5v5 Valorant/BGMI tournaments, or group dance competitions, single-attendee registration models break down: The team captain wants to pay the ₹800 entry fee once for all 4 members. Teammates arrive at campus from different cities and buses at different times. * If only the captain has a ticket pass, teammates are trapped outside the gate until the captain arrives.

1. The Captain-Leader Join Model
In Spark:
1. Team Creation: The team captain registers, specifies the Team Name, and selects the team tier (e.g., Hackathon Team Pass — 4 Members).
2. Unified Payment: The captain pays the total fee via Direct UPI and submits the 12-digit UTR.
3. Team Code Generation: Spark generates a unique Team Code (e.g., TEAM-NEXUS-44).
4. Member Linkage: Teammates open the event page, select "Join Existing Team", and enter the code.
5. Individual Pass Issuance: Each member inputs their personal details (college roll number, dietary preference) and receives their own individual Dynamic Rolling QR pass.

2. Independent Gate Ingress
On event day: Member 1 arrives at 8:30 AM via local train $\rightarrow$ Scans their pass and enters. Member 2 arrives at 9:15 AM by bus $\rightarrow$ Scans their pass and enters. * Member 3 and the Captain arrive at 9:45 AM $\rightarrow$ Scan and enter.
No team is locked outside, volunteers do not have to cross-reference captain rosters on paper, and the entire team is accounted for automatically in the organizer dashboard.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do team registrations work in Spark?
A team captain creates the team, pays the collective fee, and receives a unique Team Code (e.g., TEAM-8812). Teammates join using the code, creating linked individual passes.
Can individual team members check in separately at the gate?
Yes. Every team member receives their own unique Dynamic Rolling QR pass, allowing players arriving at different times to enter without waiting for the captain.
