There are two ways in which users can begin to participate in a competition:

1. They add themselves from the website, or;
2. The administrator can add them

To add user, or users, from the administrator area, follow the steps below:

	From the jTIps Admin Dashboard, click on the User Manager icon.
	This will load the list of users that are currently participating in one or more competitions.
	Click the 'New' button in the top right hand corner. This will load the list of available users. This is all active users of your website.
	Firstly, select the season you will be adding new users to. This area is outlined in green in the screenshot. Next, tick the checkbox next to each user that you want to add to a compeition. When you are done, click the 'Save' button.
	You wil then be returned to the list of current competition participants with a helpful message telling you how many users have been added.

By default, when you manually add users to a competition as an administrator, they are automatically approved for the competition. You may optionally unapprove individual users by clicking the green tick for the user under the 'Approve' column. Unapproved users will appear with a red cross. Click the cross to approve the user.
