Forming a New Team Associated with a National Team Company
If you work for a larger company with multiple locations throughout
the country, your company may support or encourage their employees
to compete together in teams associated with the National Team company.
National Team companies are set up in the system
in advance and presented in a selection list to make sure they
are represented correctly by name, locations, and so on.
When you start your own team, you are the captain of the team and
are responsible for recruiting more members for your team. You can
create a special Team page with a picture and story as well as monitor
the fundraising progress of your team. For assistance, refer to
Leading a Team as a Team Captain.
