2. How many competitions can I join at my school (club etc)?

Tippers are automatic members of their school's competition upon registration. They are also automatic members of the wider sponsor-ed schools/clubs tipping competition too. Tippers will be able to join one extra private competition created at their school. For example teachers may want to join the teacher’s private tipping competition, or join the grade 5 competition. Any registered tipper on your site can create their own private tipping competition and invite their own friends into it whether they are currently registered on your school site or not. To accept the invitation they will need to register.
