Teams

• back to: Rules of the Game

If you want to play with friends and colleagues instead of always against them, you can create teams and a Team Rankingwith a professional account. Each registered member can join a team. All settings, registrations, logoffs and info on the teams can be found under "My Profile" -> "My Team". You can change between individual and team rating in the overviews.

Create a team • Administrator

Each player who is not yet a member of a team can create a new team. As team founder, he automatically assumes the role of administrator and can decide who joins the team.

Managing Team Members

The precondition for joining or creating a team is that one is a member of a betting community. Generally, the team creation should be finished by the beginning of the betting game. This is why one cannot join a team after one has exceeded the set number of points. If you want to join a team during a betting game, you can get a different username.

There are two ways of joining a team:

Invitations

The administrator can invite players to join his team. As long as one has entered a valid e-mail address, one is notified of the invitation via e-mail. The invitations are displayed under "My Team". If an invitation is accepted, the player is immediately a member of the team.

Applications

Under "My Team" players can apply to a team. Here the administrator will be notified of the application, and can then decide, under "My Team", wether to admit the player or not.

Team Rating

In order to be able to compare teams with a different amount of members, the team rating is based on a points average. Thus the sum of all players' points is divided by the number of players.

Team "Demo Team":

Player 1: 19 Points
Player 2: 12 Points
Player 3: 0  Points
-------------------
Overall: 31 Points
PLayers: 3
-------------------
Average: 10.3 Points for Team "Demo Team"

(One digit after the comma is being displayed, but the internal calculation takes into account more digits.)

Placing Bets

The bets from a player's individual rating are automatically taken as bets for the team rating. Each team member is thus automatically represented in the individual rating.

If you want to place different bets for the team, you must register with a second username and then place "Team Bets" under that name.

If players are admitted to a team during an ongoing betting game, the matches already played are set to "not played". If a player joins a team during a betting game, its average will sink.

Team Size

The administrator of the betting community determines how many members a team must have at the least and how many it can have at most. In creating a new team, there can of course be teams that have not yet reached the minimum number. These teams will only be admitted to the team ranking when they have reached the minimum number of players.
