# Teams Overview

> Create and manage teams, roles, and coordination tools for competition.

Teams let a group of players enter events together and keep a shared identity, roster, and wallet across them. A team is created by a player, not by an admin, so you can put one together yourself and enter an event the same day.

## How it works

* **Roster and roles** — captain, player, reserve, coach, manager, and owner, each with different permissions ([more](/teams/structure))
* **Invitations** — invite players and approve the ones who ask to join
* **Identity** — team branding and social links
* **Coordination** — team chat for organising around matches and schedules
* **Shared wallet** — prize money won by the team lands in the team wallet and is distributed from there ([more](/finance/wallets))
* **Cross-game** — one team can compete across multiple game titles

Teams can stand alone, or sit inside an [organisation](/organisations/overview) that manages several of them.

## Getting started

* Create a team from the teams section, or accept an invite to join one
* Add members and assign roles
* Register the team for an event from the event page ([more](/events/registration))
