Choosing Your Roles

Fighter, coach, official, host — what each one gives you, and how to change your mind.

You Pick Your Own

Roles live at Settings → Roles. Tick the ones that apply to you and save. There is no approval step and no waiting.

Role	What it gives you
Fighter	A fighter profile, and the ability to enter events.
Coach	Identifies you as a coach.
Official	Identifies you as an official.
Host	Create and run your own events, and review who registers.

You can hold as many as apply, and you can change them whenever you like. Removing a role does not delete anything you did while you held it.

Anyone Can Be a Host

There is no gate on hosting. Sign up, tick Host, and you can create an event the same minute. That is the intended product — BoutHost is for independent clubs as much as for federation-run cards.

What a host cannot do is present their event as something a federation has approved without that being true. See claiming a sanction.

A Role Is a Statement, Not a Credential

Ticking Official does not mean anyone has checked that you are one, and the same is true of Coach and Fighter. Roles say what you do on the platform. They are not a qualification, and nothing on BoutHost should be read as verifying one.

The same applies to the win/loss/draw record on a fighter profile: you type it yourself, and it is shown as self-reported wherever it appears.

Roles Your Federation Grants

When you sign in with Webpoint, your federation tells BoutHost whether you are on its staff. Being on a federation's staff does not make you a host. If you run events, tick Host here like anyone else. Federation staff get a Staff panel instead, which appears in your account menu after you sign in with your federation's Webpoint account.

A role your federation does grant is refreshed from its record every time you sign in, so it is not yours to remove here, and if the federation withdraws it, BoutHost follows.
