coan.net: OK, so how about by default the Big Boss of every Fellowship should be in the Teams (that have been created) and then also made Captain, then if someone would like to take over it is easy, BUT to have the Boss join Teams (even if he does not play) just so he can put the Teams into a Tournament is pretty stupid really
You know the Madhouse tries to enter a Team all the time in any Tournament that is there, but getting players is one thing, trying to fins a Captain is something else (though i have to admit, i do not know why).

Gouwe gozer : It is simple, if you want to play in a Tournament, join that Team, once the team is entered, then leave....no problem.

Fencer : I am Captain of many of my Teams, BUT i do not always play, simply for a fact as that it is a game i can not play or i am crap at, but i make myself Captain just so we can take part.

ALSO, it has been requested before, that there should be a way for players in teams to either make themselves available or not without having to leave & rejoin teams. A better way would be able to set your own parameters for a Tournament in your settings (i.e. you will play if it is 5 days, standard vacation etc...).
