Review and verify teams

Check submitted teams, verify them or send them back, and edit, unverify or disband a team.

Staff verify a team on Teams after its captain submits it. Only verified teams can go in a match or appear on the Player Hub’s Teams page.

Status	What it means	What players see
Building	The captain is putting the team together and can change its name, colour and logo.	Building
Pending	Submitted for review. The captain can’t change its name, colour or logo.	Pending Review
Verified	Accepted by staff. Its name, colour and logo stay locked for the captain.	Verified

At any status, players can join and leave a team, up to the team size limit, and the captain or staff can remove them.

Before you start

• You need access to manage teams. See How access works.

Verify a team

1. Find the teams waiting for review

   In the sidebar, select People → Teams, then the Pending tab. Verified teams are on the Approved tab. You can also open a team from the Dashboard’s Needs attention panel, which lists each team ready for review.

2. Open the team

   Select the team’s row. You see its name, status, colour and creation date, and its roster with the captain and when each member joined. A Ready for review bar heads the roster.

3. Check the roster

   Check the team against your rules, such as its number of players. Select a member’s row for their player details.

4. Verify or send it back

   • To accept the team, select Verify team, then Verify. Its status becomes Verified.
   • To return it to the captain, select Send back. It goes back to Building straight away, with no dialog, so the captain can change it and submit it again.

Edit a team

Staff can change a team’s name, captain and colour at any status. Only the captain can change the logo, while the team is Building.

1. Open the team and select Edit team.
2. Change the Team name, choose a new Captain from the members, or pick a new Team colour.
3. Select Save changes.

A team name is 3 to 15 characters: letters, numbers and spaces. No two teams can share one.

Renaming a team gives it a new invite code, and the old code stops working. The captain must send the new one to anyone still joining.

Unverify a team

Open the team, select More team actions, the three dots beside Edit team, then Unverify team, and confirm with Unverify. The team goes back to Building, and the captain can edit it again.

A match already on the schedule keeps the team. On Schedule, the team shows as “(not verified)”.

Remove a member or disband a team

• Remove a member. Open the team, select Remove on the member’s row, then Remove again. They can rejoin with a valid invite code. Removing the captain passes captaincy to the member who joined earliest. Removing the last member disbands the team.
• Disband a team. Open the team, select More team actions → Disband team, type disband and select Disband.

Disbanding removes every member and deletes the team. It can’t be undone. Matches already on the schedule keep the team’s name.
