# Teams

> Join a racing club, apply with custom questions, and race under your team colors.

A **team** on Time2Bike is your racing club — separate from the organizations that put on events. Teams have a public page, members, captains, and (optionally) an application form.

Manage your teams from **Account → Teams** at [time2.bike/teams](https://time2.bike/teams).

## Join a team

There are three ways to end up on a team:

* **Direct invite** — a captain emails you an invite link. Open it and accept.
* **Apply** — visit the team's public page at `time2.bike/team/[slug]` and click **Apply**. Fill out any questions the team requires.
* **Public join** — for teams set to **public join**, click **Join team** on the team page and you're in instantly.

The join method is set by the captain in the team's **Join policy**.

## Apply with questions

Teams that use **Application** mode walk you through a short wizard:

<Steps>
  <Step title="Pick the participant">
    If the team requires it, link the application to one of your saved participants.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Answer questions">
    Text, multiple choice, yes/no, file uploads — whatever the team asks.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Review & submit">
    Confirm your answers. The captain is notified and decides.
  </Step>
</Steps>

You'll see your application under **Account → Teams** with status **Pending**, **Approved**, or **Declined**.

## Your teams

The **Teams** page lists every team you belong to with your role:

* **Member** — you're on the roster.
* **Admin** — you can edit team details and manage other members.
* **Owner** — you created the team and can do everything, including transfer ownership.

Click a team to open the team management page.

## Create your own team

Click **Create team** from the Teams page. You'll set:

* **Name** and a **slug** for the public URL (`time2.bike/team/your-slug`).
* **Logo** and **primary color**.
* **Visibility** — public or unlisted.
* **Join policy** — invite only, application, or public join.

Once created, you're the owner. Invite riders from **Members**, define the application form from **Settings**, and customize the public page from **Public Page**.

## Race for your team

Your team is shown on your rider profile, on start lists, and in results. If a race organizer pulls team standings, your finishes count toward your team automatically — no extra step at registration.
