The team feature is fun, here is a suggestion for how to use it in a new way.
Form teams normally, but change the tournament so that there is one entry in the tournament per team, and show number of team members and average rating for the team.
Make minimum/maximum team sizes configurable, so that for example teams of exactly 5 or teams of 50+ players can make for different types of tournaments.
When a team is full, if there is an upper limit, no more can join it.
When a team is under required size, it is listed but inactive.
Make team rating requirements configurable, with minimum, maximum and interval settings. For example Max 1 player per 100 points, minimum 10 players, would create teams of varied strength.
When a match is started, all players are required to vote on next move. The move chosen by the most players is performed. If tied a random move of those tied is made.
Each player must make their move within a certain time, each player that fails to do so means the team has less time for the next move.
If all players on the team have chosen move, it is performed, no need to wait until the full time allowed.
Matches can be set to be balanced based on average rating of players, to adjust time per move for each move.
Chat is public only, no team internal chat, no telling what team members should choose allowed.
