Commissioner Access: Console Visibility, Becoming One & Transfers

Only One Commissioner Per Contest

We currently do not support co-commissioners within contests.

Only the primary commissioner who created the contest has access to the Commissioner Console. Other members — even if they're helping manage the contest — will not see this tab, regardless of how involved they are.


How Do I Become a Commissioner?

To be a commissioner, you must either:

  • Create the contest yourself, or

  • Request a commissioner transfer through support (see below)


Transferring Commissioner Access

If you'd like to transfer commissioner access to another user:

  • CC the current (primary) commissioner

  • Include:

    • The contest name

    • The new commissioner's name/email

Once we receive confirmation from the current commissioner, we'll update the contest. Transfers always require approval from the current commissioner — support cannot make this change without it.

Alternatives for Managing Contests

While only one commissioner is allowed, there are alternative ways to manage contests effectively:

  1. Sharing the Contest Link: The commissioner can share the contest link with participants, allowing them to join and manage their own participation, such as selecting squares or other contest-specific actions.

  2. Manual Management: The commissioner can manually assign or manage participant actions directly within the contest interface. For example, in grid-based contests, the commissioner can click on a square to assign it to a participant.
