Teams

Teams are competitive groups that participate in ladder competitions within a club. This guide explains how to create and manage teams.

Create a team

• Go to the club page → Ladders → select a ladder → Create team.
• Enter a unique team name; the creator becomes the first member.
• Teams start at a base ELO rating (the ladder uses this for matchmaking).

Invite and manage members

• From the team page, send invitations to club members.
• Invited members can Accept or Decline the invitation.
• A user can belong to only one team per ladder. If they are already on another team in the same ladder, they cannot accept a new invitation.
• Team captains and club admins can remove members.

States and activation

• Pending: waiting for required number of members (multi-player ladders).
• Active: eligible for matches and matchmaking.
• Banned/Disabled: excluded from ladder matches by admin action or insufficient members.

Solo ladders (team size = 1) activate immediately upon creation.

Availability and matchmaking

• Set your team's available time slots on the team page so matchmaking can schedule matches when both teams are available.
• Matchmaking uses ELO and availability to find appropriate opponents.

Troubleshooting

• Cannot accept invitation: verify you are not already a member of a team in the same ladder.
• Team not active: ensure the team has reached the ladder’s required team size for activation.
• Team banned: contact club admins to appeal or request reinstatement.
