Searching for a Participant

You can display the Basic Search page and locate a person who has registered as a participant by entering all or part of their first name or last name, or both. To enter more information to narrow your search results, use the Advanced Search.

Step 1: Display the Search Page

On the Greeting page, click the Click here to find a team or participant link from the list of options. The Basic Search page displays with the Search for a participant radio button selected.

Step 2: Enter Search Criteria

On the Basic Search page, enter all or part of the first name in the First Name field, and all or part of the last name in the Last Name field.

Or, click the Advanced Search link to display more search criteria fields, and then, to search for a participant:

• In a different event, click the appropriate option from the Event drop-down list.
• On a specific team, enter all or part of the name in the Team Name field. Note that you do not have to enter the beginning letters (for example, entering brown will return TeamBrown, BrownBaggers, TheBrownleys, and so on).
• Competing for a company, enter all or part of the name of the company.
• Competing on a team in a specific division, click the appropriate option from the Division drop-down list.

Note: Use combinations of the fields to yield more accurate search results.
