Welcome. Let’s take you through the steps to successfully register and participate in events hosted on Mercer | Mettl’s Xathon platform.

To view all the public events you can participate in, head over to https://xathon.mettl.com/view-challenges. After clicking on the event you want to participate in, you can browse the event page for information and register for that event. If an event is private, the event page’s web link will be shared with you by the organizers.

Registration Structure: Based on the event rules, you may participate individually or as a team.

1. If participating as a team, only the team leader has to register by following the steps mentioned in the section Register to Participate Individually or as a Team Leader. After successfully registering for the event, the team leader shall invite the remaining team members. Ergo, if you are participating as a team but are not the team leader, you should wait for an invitation from the team leader to join their team and head over to Steps to Accept an Invitation and Join a Team.

   If you want to be part of another team but have:

   • Already joined a team: You will have to exit (click on Exit Team situated under the Team Details tab after logging in to your account) your current team and then accept the invitation of the team that you wish to join. The same steps can be followed if you want to create your own team or participate individually instead of being in someone else’s team.
   • Created your own team: You will have to dissolve (click on Dissolve Team situated under the Team Details tab after logging in to your account) your current team and then accept the invitation of the team that you wish to join.
2. If participating individually, follow the steps mentioned in the section Register to Participate Individually or as a Team Leader.
