As captain, you run your team from My Team on the Player Hub: bring players in, set its look, submit it for The Black Vale’s staff to verify, and hand it over or close it. To open My Team, sign in and select your team card. The player who creates a team is its captain. A captain’s My Team page has two tabs: Roster, with your players, and Settings, with everything else. Docs beside the tabs opens this page.

​
Before you start

​
What you can change at each status

Your team’s status decides what you can change. When staff accept a team, it becomes verified. At every status, players can join and leave, up to the team size limit the league sets, and you can remove them. The Roster tab shows the count, such as 4 / 10.

​
Share your invite code

The top of My Team, with the invite code and its copy and regenerate buttons on the right

Your invite code, with copy and regenerate beside it.

Players join with your invite code, shown under Invite Code at the top right of My Team.
  1. Select the copy button beside the code. A tick shows it’s copied.
  2. Send the code to your players to enter on the Player Hub.
If the code reaches the wrong person, select the regenerate button beside it, then Continue. The old code stops working straight away, so send the new one to anyone still joining. You can do this while your team is Building.
1

Open Settings

On My Team, select the Settings tab.
2

Change the name or colour

Edit the Team Name: 3 to 15 characters, using letters, numbers and spaces. No two teams can share a name. Pick a new Identity Colour, or type its hex code, such as #C41E2A.

Add a logo

Select Add Logo and choose a PNG or JPEG of up to 5 MB. In Crop your logo, drag the square to move it or a corner to resize it, then select Apply.To replace a logo, select it and choose a new image.
4

Save

Select Save Changes.
Renaming your team gives it a new invite code, and the old code stops working. Send the new one to anyone still joining.

​
Submit your team for verification

Staff can’t put your team in a match until they verify it. Submit it when your roster is ready.
1

Submit

On the Settings tab, under Verification, select Submit Roster, then Submit.Your team’s status becomes Pending Review, and its name, colour, logo and captaincy lock.
2

Wait for staff

Staff either verify your team, making it Verified, or send it back to Building so you can change it and submit it again.
To make changes while you wait, select Withdraw on the Settings tab, then Withdraw again. Your team goes back to Building, and you can submit it again at any time.

​
Remove a player

On the Roster tab, select Remove on the player’s row, then Remove again. They’re off your roster straight away. A removed player can rejoin with your current invite code. To stop that, regenerate the code before you send it to anyone else.

​
Transfer captaincy

1

Choose the new captain

On the Settings tab, under Captaincy, select Transfer Captain, then choose the player under Promote to captain.
2

Transfer

Select Transfer. You stay on the roster as a regular player.
Transfer Captain stays greyed out until your team has another player. Only the new captain can transfer captaincy back to you.

​
Leave or disband your team

  • Leave. Select Leave on your own row of the Roster tab, or Leave Team on the Settings tab, then Leave in the dialog. Captaincy passes to the player who joined earliest. If you’re the last player, leaving disbands the team.
  • Disband. On the Settings tab, under Danger Zone, select Disband, then Disband again. This removes every player and deletes the team.
Disbanding can’t be undone. Your players would need a new team, and you’d need sign-ups to be open to create one.
