There is a formal structure for teams that will be participating in the tournament. Team leaders can add people to their team, set members as active/inactive for the next match, and give their team a name.

Each team can have a maximum of 6 people. You cannot remove someone from your team. Each team can only have, at most, 4 people active at one time. This allows your team to maintain two alternates should one or two people from your team not show up.

Each member of your team who participates in a match will receive a participation point. If your team places in the tournament and receives a prize, the prize will be divided amongst the team members according to the ratio of matches participated in. For example, if Jack participates in 6 matches, and Jill participates in 4 matches, and their team comes in first, Jack will receive 60 tournament points and Jill will receive 40 tournament points.

The team tournament will begin with a round-robin phase where every single team faces every other team once. The teams are then ranked in order according to the number of wins they have. The top 8 teams in wins after the round-robin phase will move on to a single-elimination bracket tournament.

The #1 team will face the #8 team, the #2 team will face the #7 team, the #3 team will face the #6 team, the #4 team will face the #5 team.

Play will move on through the bracket until one team is left standing. If, at the end of play, head-to-head matchups do not reveal a clear top five, we will set up consolation matches to determine those.

Matches will be set up in all of the arenas (we will be co-opting the city arenas for these games). At the time that your match is set up, you will be instantly moved to the arena, along with the rest of your team, to the same room. You will have 5 minutes to prepare, and then your match will automatically start.

The match will last for 20 minutes. The object is to kill everyone on the opposing team. If you do not kill everyone on the opposing team after 20 minutes, the winner of the match will be determined by the team that has the most surviving members. If the teams are equal in surviving members, the winner of the match will be determined by the team that has most recently had more members.
