Team vs Team
One piece per artist, a shared result for the team.
In short: In Team vs Team two equal named teams compete. The team result is the average score of all roster members, not the sum; individual places are counted separately. Approved work from every team member is required.

How it feels
You play not only for yourself: everyone in the team has teammates, and everyone must submit a piece. The strongest raise the average, but a “weak link” cannot hide — discipline across the whole team matters.
Team play is about agreements: aligning deadlines, discussing light and shooting rhythm, supporting those who find it harder. Allies see each other’s names and Telegram profiles so they can write in a couple of taps.
Who it is for
For studio, school and community teams, and for friends from different cities.
- studios and schools
- friends who want to play together
- anyone who values support over a solo race

Rosters
The organizer locks two equal teams with names. After the start the roster does not change.

How points work
- The team result is the average total score of all members of the locked roster.
- Individual places and awards come from the same scores regardless of the team result.
- A team victory is a separate certificate for every roster member (a tie means a shared win).

Frequently asked questions
How many people are on a team?
Teams must be equal in size and have a name. We recommend 2–5 artists per team: the average is steadier and it is easier to coordinate.
Do judges see who is on which team?
The roster and team membership are public. During judging, the current photo is not linked to its author or team; private teammate contact tools are unavailable to judges.
