Is there an easy way to just bring along a friend or a child without forming a team?
Yes, if you don’t want to form a team and this is a one-shot thing, you can just contact the Project Leader and let them know you’re bringing a friend or child along. Just click on the link next to a Project Leader’s name to send them an email and tell them you are bringing a friend or a child. They will reserve an “anonymous” slot for you to ensure there is room for your guest/s.
