# Team Structure & Roles

> Team roles and roster management for organised competition.

## Roles

* **Owner** — created or inherited the team; can transfer ownership
* **Captain** — runs the team in competition, including check-in and lineup decisions
* **Player** — active roster member
* **Reserve** — on the roster but not in the starting lineup
* **Coach** and **Manager** — support roles without playing

Roles carry different permissions, so a reserve and an owner do not have the same control over the roster or the team wallet.

## Roster management

* Add and remove members, and set each member's role
* Approve requests to join
* Run one team across multiple game titles

<Note>
  Rosters matter at check-in, not just at registration. When a team checks in, the captain marks who is playing and who is a reserve for that event.

## Player How-To

* Create a team, or join one from an invite
* Accept your role and set up your profile within the roster
* Check the event's eligibility requirements before registering — every player in the lineup needs their own linked game account
* Confirm participation at check-in

## Admin Capabilities

* Define the available roles and their permissions
* Approve roster changes and confirm eligibility
* Enforce naming and branding guidelines, and resolve name conflicts
