Teams
Teams are a group of chess players that play against other groups of chess players in teams. It sounds confusing but its just like football, baseball, basketball etc. Every year there is a team tournament of all the teams in that league. Example: League:Pets; Teams: Team Dogs, Team Cats, Team Fish etc. Each team in the league will go against each other to see which team is best. The teams will each play white and black. Example: Team Dogs white vs Team Fish black, Team Dogs black vs Team Fish white. If you win a team tournament you and the rest of the team will get a team norm. Of course, this happens only once a year, so in the mean time, the captain of the team can set up friendly team matches to practice for the upcoming season.
Players can also make their own team, the player is then called Team Captain. Team captains may recruit players by invitation or accept applications from site members.

Famous quotes containing the word teams:
“A sturdy lad from New Hampshire or Vermont who in turn tries all the professions, who teams it, farms it, peddles, keeps a school, preaches, edits a newspaper, goes to Congress, buys a township, and so forth, in successive years, and always like a cat falls on his feet, is worth a hundred of these city dolls. He walks abreast with his days and feels no shame in not “studying a profession,” for he does not postpone his life, but lives already.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
