# How do I restrict registrants in sub-events from creating or joining a team?

1. Login to your [dashboard](https://hubspot.raceroster.com/en-us/knowledge-base/signing-in-to-race-roster-and-accessing-dashboards?hsLang=en-us) as an **Event Organizer.**
2. Navigate to the left of your screen and search and select **Team Settings** in the search box. 
3. Click "Limit sub-events to only create or join this team type:"
4. You'll then see options pop up related to creating a team or joining a team, add or remove the sub-events where you want to change the registrant's ability to create or join a team
5. \*Make sure you apply your desired changes to all the team types that they apply to
6. Scroll to the bottom and hit 'SAVE' before navigating away from this page

***Why would this be a good idea?***

In some cases, an event will treat their individual 10K and their team 10K as two separate sub-events. In this case, you would want to prevent the individual 10K from creating or joining a team. Additionally, if the same event wants their team 10K registrants to be able to join a team, but not create one (because creating one happens on the Event Details page before a user registers) then you'd want to prevent the team 10K from creating teams. See article [What does it mean to Allow Team Creation without Event Registration?](https://hubspot.raceroster.com/en-us/knowledge-base/what-does-it-mean-to-allow-team-creation-without-event-registration?hsLang=en-us)

Some events want the team captain to create the team and pay the registration fee for the whole team. In this case, we recommend creating a sub-event for 1) Team Captains and 2) Team Members. We would prevent the Team Captain sub-event from JOINING A TEAM and we would prevent the Team Member from creating a team. We would make the registration price for the Team Captain sub-event the full cost of the team registration and we would make the registration price for the Team Member sub-event free. You would make team joining or creating mandatory on both sub-events (see: [How do I make teams mandatory?](https://hubspot.raceroster.com/en-us/knowledge-base/how-do-i-make-teams-mandatory?hsLang=en-us)).
