Usually led by a captain who picks a team. Team matches are considered the core of RackEmApp.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Within RackEmApp there is the concept of a &#8220;Team&#8221; and a &#8220;Season Team&#8221;. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The team is the name of the team that carries the heritage and history with it. Team names can change seasonally, but if a group of players foem the same pub has been competing together for 20 years, any titles they win belong to them regardless of what they happened to name themselves. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Team Management can be performed in <strong>League Management &gt; Teams<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"921\" height=\"538\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.rackemapp.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/image-83.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1202\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.rackemapp.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/image-83.png 921w, https:\/\/blog.rackemapp.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/image-83-300x175.png 300w, https:\/\/blog.rackemapp.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/image-83-768x449.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 921px) 100vw, 921px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>You can&#8217;t create a team here. Teams belong in the domain of creating a season, and that usually happens at the start of a season. This screen instead allows you to edit the team (which views their details &#8211; click the team name to do this), and also delete a team (which you can only do if there are no seasonal teams linked to it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There is also a button for <strong>Download Captain Contacts<\/strong> which will download the names and numbers of all your team captains. It is your responsibility at that point to handle that personal data responsibly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After clicking a team you get the details for the team, or parent team as it is often referred to. You can alter the name &#8211; but that does not alter any of the seasonal team names. You can also deactivate the team &#8211; that will remove the team from the list of selectable teams when captain&#8217;s self register their teams.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"521\" height=\"656\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.rackemapp.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/image-84.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1203\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.rackemapp.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/image-84.png 521w, https:\/\/blog.rackemapp.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/image-84-238x300.png 238w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 521px) 100vw, 521px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The team season history has a list of all the season teams for this team.

Those players contested and won those frames.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you wish to expunge those from the record entirely, you must first delete all the results for the team in <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.rackemapp.com\/?p=1207\">Fixtures and Results<\/a>. This delete is permanent and completely irreversible. When this is completed, you can then come back here and delete the season team.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A team is a group of players that complete in a match.
