Teams
Teams are defined as a group of more than two participants. Rules for teams (divisions, gender, etc.) vary by sport. Be sure to read the Competition Details for your sport carefully. Below is a list of sports that may include Teams:
Basketball
Bowling

Softball
Swimming (all swimming relay teams will be determined during the Games)
Track & Field (all track & field relay teams will be determined during the Games)

Water Polo
If you are the Team Captain, ideally you should be the first member of your team to register. During registration, if you indicate that you are the team captain you will be asked a few questions about your team. You will not need a roster of your team members for registration. At the end of the registration process, you will receive a confirmation number. Give this number to anyone who you want to register as a member of your team.
If you are a member of a team, ask your Team Captain for his or her confirmation number. You will be asked to enter this number along with the team name. You do not need to delay your registration if you are NOT the Team Captain and are registering before your Team Captain. You may still register now and add your team affiliation later.
Individuals who want to play a team sport but do not have a team should use our online Team Matchmaker system. However, do not delay your registration as sports are filling fast. Register without selecting a team and we will place you on one prior to the Gay Games.
If you are not currently a member of a team, you may skip this question and continue with registration. Team requirements are different for each sport. Be sure to read the Competition Details for your sport. In some cases:
· You will have the opportunity to join a team at a later date.
· You may be able to join or develop a team during the Games.
· You may allow us to place you on a team.
Please see the sports and culture pages on this web site for more specific information about various activities.
