Teams are intended to allow a group of players to play and compete as a team, teams play each other in "team challenges" where a minimum of two players or more from team A plays an equal number of players from team B, each player involved in a team challenge is paired to another player from the other team, those two players play two games against each other. Team ELO rating and team score get affected when a team game is finished, a team is credited 1 point for winning a game and nothing for drawing or losing.

To start a team you need to be a premium member(at least for one year), or you have have to make 5000 moves at chesshere.com. There is no minimum requirements to join a team, however each team captain may setup his own minimum requirements regarding rating and finished games.

Each player can be a member of only one team at the same time.

To leave your team, click "Leave this team" in your team page, and confirm. After you leave a team you still have to finish all team games you are involved in.

Only team captain can send team challenges to other teams, or accept received challenges.
