As founder of the Team, Player A can then register his team in the next Civ Game.
When the Game starts the team is allocated a Civ and all the team members are automatically logged into that Game.
When the Game is over Player A can then register his team in another Civ Game.
A leader board can then be developed showing: Team name, Civ they played, Game number, Final score/ranking
After a few Games, the better teams will emerge and the Game selection can then be biased to putting evenly performing Teams in the same Games.
It is important to find a way to let players work together in Teams and recognise this.
