The following options are available for accepting substitution:

• Period: Another user has defined a period during which you automatically accept their substitution.
• Substitution rights: Another user has given you the right to substitute for them. In this case, you have to activate the substitution yourself.

On the ribbon, click Profile menu [your name] > Accept substitution. Here you will see who you are currently substituting for or may substitute for.

I have the right to substitute for

On the left-hand side, you will see an overview of the users you have permission to substitute for.

You will recognize active substitutions based on a green bar to the left of the profile picture.

If you click a user, their exact substitute permissions are shown in the right-hand pane. This area is for information purposes only and cannot be edited.

Edit substitutions

You have the following options:

• Activate/deactivate: These buttons allow you to activate substitutions that are currently inactive or deactivate active substitutions you want to end. These buttons are only available if the user you want to substitute for has given you the right to activate and deactivate the substitution yourself.
• Forward: With this button, you can forward a substitution if the user you are substituting for has given you the corresponding right. You can either hand off the substitution entirely or assign an additional substitute.

If you are currently substituting for another, you will recognize this based on the blue person next to your Profile menu [your name].

You will also see on your My ELO start screen that you are substituting for another user.
