GETTING STARTED

Set up your 3C account

Choose the account type that matches your role. 3C uses different setup paths for parents, athletes, coaches, and school or club owners.

SCHOOL / CLUB OWNER

Create your organization

This creates the customer organization and establishes the first Organization Owner account.

ORGANIZATION SETUP

Choose School / Club Owner

From Create Account, choose School / Club Owner.

Create the owner's login

Enter the owner's full name, email, username, and password.

Create the organization profile

Enter the School / Club Name and select the Primary Sport.

Receive the School / Club Code

3C creates a unique code that can be shared with families. The organization can also use its join QR/link for easier onboarding.

Invite your coaching team

Use Team & Roles to invite Head Coaches and Coaches. Coaching accounts are invite-only so staff access stays under organization control.

Verify incoming athletes

Family-created athletes appear as Pending School Verification. Authorized staff confirm the athlete belongs to the organization, then select Verify Athlete.

Customize 3C

Add the team or school logo, organization name, brand colors, tournament settings, and operational preferences.

Begin competition operations

Manage athletes, coaches, events, brackets, communications, fight video, alerts, and organization access from the 3C workspace.

Owner access: The Organization Owner receives organization administration plus the operational access needed to run the team. 3C Platform Owner administration remains separate from customer organization access.

COACH / HEAD COACH

Join your coaching team

Coach access is issued by the organization instead of open self-enrollment.

INVITE ONLY

Receive a coaching invitation

The School / Club Owner or authorized organization leader creates a Coach or Head Coach invitation from Team & Roles.

Choose Coach / Head Coach

Open Create Account and choose Coach / Head Coach.

Create your login

Enter your full name, email, username, password, and the Coach Invite Code supplied by your organization.

3C applies the invited role

The invitation determines the organization and whether the account receives Coach or Head Coach access. Users cannot elevate their own role during signup.

Open the coaching workspace

Use the tools allowed by your role for tournament operations, athlete communication, brackets, fight review, and analysis.

Verify athletes

Pending athletes appear in Athlete Profiles. Compare the athlete with the team roster, then select Verify Athlete. 3C records which authorized staff account completed the verification and when.

PARENT / GUARDIAN

Create a family account

Parents can manage linked athletes and can handle the competition-day workflow for a minor who does not have a device.

FAMILY SETUP

Choose Parent / Guardian

Open 3C, select Create Account, then choose Parent / Guardian.

Create your login

Enter your full name, email, username, and password.

Connect to the school or club

Use the School / Club Code when adding a new athlete, or use a Guardian Invite Code when the athlete already exists.

Add or link your athlete

For a new minor athlete, enter the athlete's name and date of birth. 3C links that athlete to your guardian account.

Choose coach video access

3C defaults to View + Analyze, allowing authorized coaches to review fight video and add coaching analysis. The guardian can turn this access off.

Use the Parent Dashboard

See tournament alerts, brackets, coach communication, fight video, timeline updates, and linked-athlete information.

No athlete device required. If a minor athlete does not have a phone or tablet, the Parent / Guardian account also serves as that athlete's competition companion for call times, holding and warm-up alerts, ring changes, coach requests, bracket changes, fight video, and other tournament updates.

School verification: A family-created athlete begins as Pending School Verification. Authorized coaching staff verify the athlete before the organization relationship becomes fully verified.

ATHLETE

Set up athlete access

The athlete setup path depends on age.

AGE-AWARE SETUP

Adult athlete: Create Account

Choose Athlete and enter your name, email, username, password, date of birth, and School / Club Code.

Adult athlete: Join the organization

3C creates the athlete profile and login together. The school or club verifies the athlete before competition data becomes fully active.

Minor athlete: Parent goes first

A minor does not independently create a second athlete profile. A parent/guardian or authorized team staff first creates or links the athlete.

Minor athlete: Device is optional

If the athlete does not have a device, nothing else is required. The Parent / Guardian account can handle the athlete-facing competition workflow.

Activate a device when needed

On the athlete's device, choose Activate Athlete App and enter the activation code created from the existing athlete profile.

Create athlete credentials

Choose the athlete's username and password. Activation attaches the login to the existing athlete instead of creating a duplicate profile.

Guardian visibility remains in place for minors. Linked parents/guardians continue to receive the appropriate tournament information and required guardian visibility.
