Where's the new team management area located? (English/Deutsch)

Basically there are three ways to get to the Team Management area:

With these direct links: Overview of the Teams (Teamübersicht) & Team Management (Teamverwaltung)
With the navigation links at the Nationscup (Nationencup).
And last but not least at the OC Control Panel (formerly called "Selbsteintragungsfunktion").

How to invite players? (English/Deutsch)

You've already created a new team, now it's time to invite some members!

Navigate to the Team Management (Teamverwaltung) and use the box at the bottom right. ("Sent Invitations" / "Versendete Einladungen")

It looks a little different if you have already sent out invitations.
At the following page enter an in-game nickname or HAPPYTEC username.
Confirm it with Yes ("Ja")
Done!

A private message (and email) has been sent to the user. Now it's his/her decision to accept or reject your invitation.

A notification of the user's decision will be sent to the team managers (leader and deputy) via PM (and email).

- means ACCEPT, the player becomes a team member.
- means DECLINE, the player can't join your team.
Confirm it with Yes ("Ja")
Done!
