Restrict from Regatta Option

I have a co-op member who is ill and didn't opt out.   If I use the Restrict from Regatta option for her can she easily un-do that?

I wasn't sure how that works and didn't want to cause her any problems when she was back playing.

I assumed that she would just have to change it back in her settings ... but have learned over the years to never assume!

 

Thank you.

You are right @JustJan She will be able to change it back when she is ready

In fact when a player is restricted, only they can change their setting back to racing. Restricting them just means that when they do change their setting back, it will not take effect until the next weeks race begins.

I believe until she does change her setting back, she will remain opted out of racing after you have restricted her.

Your assumption is correct. When you restrict someone it opts them out, and they must opt themselves back in... in other words you cannot undo the restriction, they do it for themselves. 
Also just FYI, other effects of restriction: 
• forfeit of prizes if done during the regatta week. If restricted after close of regatta, they can still claim their prizes.
• before the newer “Race of Champions” a restriction did not affect interseasonal play. A previously restricted player could still do the interseasonal race. A player restricted during the interseasonal race would lose the ability to continue doing tasks, & forfeit prizes.
Now the effects of restriction are the same during regatta and RoC.

Thank you both!   Just wanted to be sure before jumping into this!

If I restrict someone from the Regatta, will it also restrict them from playing in the Race of Champions?  

It doesn't state that on the option to restrict so wanted to be sure this person is restricted for both since ROC starts tomorrow.

Thank you! 

For the player to return - In your Settings (cog) then Additional Settings is "Take Part in Co-op Competitions".

Race of Champions is a Co-op Competitions ?!? I would be interested in the outcome of the Restrictions and impacts. Thank you.

I had to do  "Restrict from Regatta"  for two co-op members.   It also restricted them from the Race of Champions.  The wording is just different in what you see in the individual settings (Take Part in Co-op Competitions) and what it says when a leader restricts someone from competing (Restrict from Regatta)

So, know we know!   

Happy Holidays!
