• Team Tag- A little tag which may go into any part of a member's game nickname and makes you stand out. Keep it short and simple. For instance, The Jungle has [TJ] as their team tag, and Sams Rams have [Ram] as their tag. Simple but stands out.
• About Team- This is just a brief description of what your team is about, your reasons for having it, any goals you might have set for the team and the like. Short, sweet and simple makes it easier for a prospective team member to read.
