Welcome to our guide on creating unofficial sports within the FinalForms platform! This document is designed to help administrators navigate the process of adding sports that don't require formal recognition from state or national associations. Understanding this feature can help you enhance your sports offerings and provide more opportunities for student participation.

As an administrator, you have the ability to designate a sport as unofficial when creating it in FinalForms. This feature is especially beneficial for schools or organizations looking to offer additional sports without the formal requirements associated with official sports.

All unofficial sports can be identified on the sports table by the grey asterisk next to the sport's name.

1. Log in to your FinalForms administrator account.

2. Navigate to the Sports Management section of the platform.

3. Select the option to create a New Sport.

4. Fill in the required details for the sport, including the name and description.

5. If the sport name includes any of the following terms, it will automatically be recognized as an unofficial sport:

   • Manager

   • Statistician

   • Medicine

   • Wheelchair

   • Tryout

   • Club

   • Clinic

   • Intramural

6. Check the box to designate the sport as unofficial.

Designating a sport as unofficial can provide several advantages, including:
