Throughout the tumultuous history of the Old World, there are countless stories of people coming together in times of great hardship and struggle, finding victory through their united efforts and unwavering loyalty to one another. As such, finding a group of like-minded friends, be they champions of good or notorious villains, is the first step on your team event journey!

Team Size

Anyone wishing to organise a team event will need to decide how many players each team will contain and convey that information to hopeful attendees. Teams can be whatever size the organiser wishes; some team events may require teams as small as three players, whilst a much larger one may ask for teams of eight or even nine players! Organisers are free to decide what size of team is best for their event, but we find that teams of four work best.

For ease, the format presented here will assume that teams consist of four players each. If you wish to run an event with more or fewer than four players in each team, you will need to adapt some of the rules that follow to accommodate those numbers.

Nominating a Team Captain

It is the role of a team captain to ensure their team has all the information needed before and during the event. The team captain will be responsible for such things as organising list submission, collecting together and handing results to the scorekeeper at the end of each round, and passing on any information from the organiser to the rest of their team. It is usually best for the most organised member of the team, or the person with the most experience of matched play events, to take on this responsibility, as it will often ensure that things run nice and smoothly!
