# Managing teams

You have to be a member of a team to participate in team competitions. You can create your own team and invite Yandex users to join it or join an existing team (you'll need an invitation from a team member for that).

Teams can include any number of members. You can choose which team members will participate in a contest when [registering for it](https://contest.yandex.ru/docs/en/registration.md#together).

All team members have the same rights: each can change the name of the team, manage its composition, and leave it.

Teams are managed on the [Teams](https://contest.yandex.com/teams/) page.

## Creating a team {#create}

To create a team:

1. Click **Create a team**. The team creation block will be displayed on the screen.
1. In the upper field, enter a team name.
1. Add Yandex users to the team. Each user is added separately. To send an invitation, enter the [username](https://contest.yandex.ru/docs/en/authorization.md) in the bottom field and click **Invite**. An invitation is sent to the user and displayed on their **Teams** page.
1. Click **Create**.

All team members' usernames are displayed under the team name. The usernames of those who have not yet responded to the invitation are highlighted in gray.

Once you've created a team, you can immediately [register it for contests](https://contest.yandex.ru/docs/en/registration.md). Teams can be registered even if they don't yet have the required number of participants who meet the contest requirements since you can [change the list of participants](https://contest.yandex.ru/docs/en/registration.md#team-list) from your team after registration, right up to the moment when the contest begins.

## Editing a team {#edit}

To edit a team, hover the mouse pointer over the team's block and click ![](_images/icon1.png) in the upper-right corner. You can change the name of the team, invite a new member, exclude an existing member, and also quit the team.

All changes are saved automatically the moment they're entered. To exit edit mode, click the icon again.

## Deleting a team {#delete}

If you want to completely remove a team, first [delete everyone in it](#edit). Otherwise, you will leave the team, but it will not be deleted.

To delete a team, click ![](_images/cross.png) in the upper-right corner of its block.
