In Team matches, two groups fight against each other. Once the match is created, players of both the teams are available to join their respective team. Players are arranged according to their rating.
What happens when I join? When does my game start?
Once, you have joined a team match, forget about it. There is no need to worry. Your match will start when administrators of both the teams "lock" their team.
How is a team match played?
A team match is turn based chess and it is same like ONLINE chess / correspondence chess.
How will I know when my game has started?
Keep logging in to chess.com regularly (atleast, once in a day). When your match has started, you will be notified about it in your homepage. Keep playing your moves.
How important it is?
A Team match end result will add points to groups played between. So the net result, we win or loose it directly impacts the group rank and its total points. So make sure, before you join a team match, you should not loose the game as "TIME OUT".
If you have any more doubts, post a comment here or feel free to send me a message.
