Pre-assigned vs self-assigned teams - what's the difference?
Do you want to assign teams? You have two options.
Our rooms are designed to help randomly sort players into teams!
Our platform automatically assigns your players to rooms & teams.
All they have to do is log in and we will have them randomly assigned to a room & team. Our game rooms are designed to allow up to 25 or 30 players in a room & generally up to 5 players per team.
For example, if there is a full group of 25 players in the game room, we will have 5 teams with 5 players per team.
Option 1
This is the preferred method for preassigning teams (no additional fee). See below for an outline:
- Upon Logging in, your players can manually select which room and team they would like to join.
- PRO TIP: Please let your participants know what team to select when logging into their event! For example, we have seen by region, by office, or department. They can then join their Room, and Team (when prompted by their host).
Option 2 (Included in PRO upgrade)
We also offer the feature for you to pre-assign your game rooms & teams with your players signing in via e-mail address. You will need to provide attendee information via a .csv or spreadsheet format (see below for a template).
NOTE: This option only works if every player logs in with the correct email. It is imperative that your players all log in with the same email address you provide us (spelling counts!). If players log in with the incorrect email address, they will not be assigned to their room or team, which will cause a delay to the start of your game 😱
How to fill out the Pre-Assign Game Room & Teams Template:
- First Name & Last Name
- Email Address (they will need to log-in with this in order to accurately assign them)
- Room - this can be as simple as Room 1, Room 2, Room 3. Remember, each room can host up to 25 players
- Team - this can be as simple as Team 1, Team 2, Team 3. Remember, each room can have up to 5 teams of 5 players (if you want players to just be assigned to the Room, and not the Team, you may leave this section blank)
- PRO TIP: Make sure you use the same formatting as the template below or else it will not read correctly on our platform. Here is an example:
