Free-text teams or registered clubs

Under Configurações › Tipo de Competição (settings › meet type) there are two options. The choice applies to every event of the meet.

Option	How the team is recorded
Equipe em texto livre (free-text team)	The athlete types the team or coaching group name in the entry. Nothing is linked to the club registry.
Clubes cadastrados (registered clubs)	The entry points to a registered club and the athlete is linked to it, as in swimming.

What changes in each mode

With Equipe em texto livre:

the Clubes tab of the entries screen is disabled and the header shows the Texto livre badge;
the Club Points report is unavailable at the desk, because without registered clubs there is no reliable way to score by team;
team reports group by the typed name (ignoring case, accents and spaces) — different spellings of the same team come out separately;
in a circuit, the stage is left out of the club standings.

With Clubes cadastrados:

the Clubes tab lists the clubs with entries;
the Converter equipes button turns each typed name into a registered club, in every entry that uses that text — useful when the meet started in free-text mode;
the entry menu gets Transferir de clube… (transfer club).
