Technical Tips - Teams

What are teams all about?
Teams are a fun way for you to join with a group and compete with other groups to see who can crunch the most. You can participate in teams by going to the My Grid page and then selecting My Team. You can either join a team or create a new team. When you are on a team, you can compete with other teams to see who can get the most members, total run time, points, and results returned. Joining a team does not affect your individual member statistics.

How do I join a team?
Go to the home page and sign in. From the My Grid page, select "My Team" from the left navigation menu or select "Find a Team to Join" in the middle of the page. From the Find a Team page, under Keyword Search and next to "Team," select the "Name" drop down. In the text box next to "Contains:," enter all or portions of the team name that you wish to join. Then press "search." If there is more than one team name returned, find the one that you wish to join. Then click on the team name and the system will return the team information. Press "join this team" to become a member of the team.

How do I create my own team?
First, sign in and go to My Grid. Select "My Team" from the left navigation menu, and then "Create a New Team." Follow the instructions on the page for adding a team and then press save.

How can I tell how much my team is contributing?
Go to My Grid, and the team that you are a member of will be shown in the center of the page under Activity Summary. Select that link to view your team statistics. You can compare your team's contributions to other teams in the Statistics section of the site by going to "By Teams."
