No, everyone needs to do their own complete registration.

The registration system uses the email address as a defining information so every registration needs to use unique email address.

All transplant recipients (kidney, liver, heart, lung, pancreas, bowel and bone marrow) and people on dialysis are allowed to participate. When starting your registration you need to select the Event category which then defines what transplant types are available for that category. Heart and Lung event category is only for heart and lung transplant recipient, dialysis event category is only for people on dialysis and Open Category is for all transplant recipients and people on dialysis.

Every time someone registeres to your team you will receive an email with the information. LOC is preparing a system for Team Managers to edit their team registration information.

No, unfortunately the Registration System cannot handle extra night registration.

Extra Nights are booked via this link.

All extra nights are paid by athletes directly to LOC via a payment link they will receive after making the booking.

There is basic registration instructions available that will give you some instructions on how to proceed with your registration. The instructions also give information on how to edit your registration and how to make direct payments to LOC (if your team has this payment method selected).

You can also contact your Team Manager to help you with your registration and to guide you through the process. You can find the list of Team Managers here. 

Yes.

The Local Organizing Committee allows registrations for athletes from outside Europe for sports that do not have a round-robin and/or direct elimination format. These athletes will not be eligible to officially receive medals, but the Local Organizing Committee will award them with a commemorative medal.

The Local Organizing Committee has also decided to open registrations to other non-European countries, provided they are member countries of the WTGF - World Transplant Games Federation and that the National Association/Organization recognizes the athlete.

Non-European athletes can only participate in non-elimination sports like Athletics, Bowling, Cycling, Golf, Running 5k and Swimming, will not compete for medals.

Yes, all competitors participating in the official sports competitions of the ETSC are covered by sports insurance. This insurance provides coverage specifically for incidents that occur during the official sports events. However, it is highly recommended that all participants obtain additional travel insurance to cover any incidents or emergencies that may happen outside the sports competitions, such as during travel, sightseeing, or other non-competition activities. This ensures comprehensive protection throughout your stay in Lisbon.

First you have to select the day that the sport is held on. Selecting the day first will activate the selection underneath that day.

Each competitor may enter a maximum of five events only, excluding Swimming and Track & Field relays and Volleyball. You may choose all the five events from one sport or they can be different sports.

Please note that, for example, each Swimming or Track & Field discipline counts as an individual event selection.

Those selecting the events that are included in Virtual Triathlon or Virtual Duathlon are automatically entered the virtual events and will not lose one event slot. Virtual Triathlon and Virtual Duathlon do not count as an additional 3rd or 4th event in their own right.

Yes, the registration system only allowes one type of sport to be selected for one day. Sports are organised in various locations and participatind multiple types of sports in one day is not possible. Playing Darts and running 5km at the same time cannot happen and sports cannot wait for athletes to arrive late to the competition.

"Athlete can only register for one type of sport per day. Athletes participating in relays also must not have different sport category registration on the same day. Organisers are not required to wait for athletes or teams in case of athlete or team is not present due to registering to different sport."
- ETSC 2024 Sport Rules

Mixed relay teams are allowed and mixed relay teams can compete in mens category. Mixed relay teams can have any combination of men and women.

The final composition of relay teams needs to be given a day before the competition.

All team events and doubles partners need to be from the same country. International teams are not allowed in any event.

Padel is a new, extra sport introduced by ETSC 2024 LOC.

Open Mixed category allows all gender combination to participate (male-male, female-female, male-female) and there are no age categories. There will be only one set of medal presented after the Padel competition.

Partners need to be from the same country and no international pairs are allowed.

During swimming competition there will be a lane or two reserved for warming up.

Swimming competition is held on 50m swimming pool (Olympic swimming pool).

ETSC 2024 has three different official Event Categories

• Heart and Lung event category
• Dialysis event category
• Open transplant event category

Each category will be medalled separately in some event and some events will be medalled together. You can find more information about this on ETSC 2024 Sport Rules.

All event categories will do their competition on the same day at the same time. For some sports all categories will have their own starts/heats/pools but for saving time sometimes, when possible, one start/heat may contain athletes from two or more age or event categories. They will be medalled separately after the actual competition is finished.

For example, the 5km Mini-Marathon may combine, depending on the participant numbers, Dialysis and Open transplant category athletes to one start to make the event more meaningful and pleasant for athletes. If there are only a few athletes in any category then it would feel like running alone if they would have their own 5km start by themselves.  

Most venues have stands for spectators and we would love to see a big audience cheering our athletes. However, not every venue can accommodate athletes, supporters and extra spectators so there might be cases where we have to limit unregistered spectator entries.

The organiser will provide balls for Tennis, Table Tennis, Badminton and Padel competition.

For Petanque and Golf ahtletes should have their own boules/balls.
