Team statuses explained
What do Recruiting, Full, Started, Closed and Expired mean? When does a team expire automatically?
Each team card shows its current status in the top right corner:
| Status | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Recruiting | Recruiting members: you can join or request to join |
| Full | Team is full; it goes back to recruiting automatically when someone leaves |
| Started | The host clicked "Let's go" and members get a gather notification |
| Closed | The host (or an admin) closed the team; no longer accepting members |
| Expired | Recruiting time expired; the system ended recruiting automatically |
Automatic status changes
- Full: when the team hits its member limit, it automatically becomes "Full". If someone leaves or is removed, it goes back to "Recruiting" automatically.
- Expiration: teams set to "⚡ Play now" expire about 24 hours after being created; teams set to "📅 Schedule" expire 6 hours after the scheduled start time.
- Reopening: after the host clicks "Reopen recruitment", the team recruits for another 3 days.
Only teams that are "Recruiting" can be joined. The Find teammates page shows only recruiting teams by default.
