# Registration Type: Profile or No Profile?

## In the distance settings there are two different options for registration type: profile or no profile.

### Profile

This is the most common choice. The idea with our platform is to be a link between you as a race organizers and your participants. If you chose the profile registration type, the participant will automatically create a profile at our platform when signing up to your race, if he/she doesn't already have one. In their profile, participants can find all their events in the same place. Information, receipts, ID (such as Vasa/Swimrun or UCI) etc will be saved in the same place. It's also possible for participants with a profile to use the self services edit and transfer registration.

 A **unique** email adress is required for this option - the same email adress can not be used for more than one participant.

### No Profile

This option is mostly used for events or distances for kids, who might not have a personal email adress or will not sign up for the event themselves. You can use the same email adress for more than one participants, but you can't offer the self services for a no profile distance.

If you have more than one distance to your event, you can chose to have different registration types for different distances.
