Team Challenges are similar to 1v1, but allow players to team up with other players and play against opposing teams. Winnings are distributed equally between teammates.
It is HIGHLY recommended that you message users prior to sending invites to a Team match.
Sending a Team Challenge
Start a Team challenge the same way you would send a normal challenge. You will see the option for diffent team sizes appear when you select a game title that supports team play. After selecting the team size, additional fields will appear. You must select a teammate(s) to create a Team challenge.
When you create a Team challenge, your teammate(s) will first receive an invite to join your team. When your teammate(s) accepts the invite the challenge will then be sent to the opponent.
Accepting a Team team invite
If a player sends you an invite to a Team challenge you will see it in your My Matches section. You have the option to accept or decline the invite.
When you accept a Team team invite you will be able to type in private team comments to your teammate(s).
Confirmation
When all players have accepted invites, the challenge creator will then confirm and the Team match will be created.
Reporting Results
In a Team match the 2 team leaders will report and verify the results in the same way a 1v1 match is reported. When the match is verified winnings will be automatically be distributed to the winning team members.
