Finding and Registering a Team
1. All students and managers, as well as any non-students are welcome to join the

LeagueSpot, as well as enrolling the team in the bracket when bracket registration
opens on game day (@6PM Eastern).
4. Once you have a complete team with at least one designated captain, the captain
will need to use #community-night-team-creation to post your team roster in the
following format:
“<TEAM NAME>
Captains:
*<FIRST NAME> <LAST NAME>, <DISCORD HANDLE>
Players:
*<FIRST NAME> <LAST NAME>, <DISCORD HANDLE>“
Please keep your team name appropriate.
*Repeat this line for each instance.

morning, and before the brackets open up to team enrollment.

Any matches that have not been checked into will be forfeited 15 minutes after the match
time begins. There will be absolutely no exceptions to this, as the admins will need to keep
everything moving in a timely manner. PLEASE report your match as soon as it’s over.
