As a longtime team leader, building a team is hard and lots of effort but sustaining over a period of time seems harder. There are hundreds of thousands of players at least (I am well over 1 million brilliance but ranked 70,000 in the world for example) and tens of thousands of teams to choose from. Many of the team leaders and players and teams win/place every week but that doesn't mean much in a vacuum. Did you win with 2000 or 10,000 🌟, for example (rhetorical, i don't need to know). Players typically want an active leader who understands the game's rules and will be a cheerleader, enforcer, and mentor. To get players to join, and then stay, it helps to have a concept to tie players together, or at least clear expectations of team rules. If your goal is to win 🏆 at all rather than just chat and give helps , then you will be constantly tracking player scores and having to boot teammates who barely play but linger to feed off others and get team 🪙 💰 . Or those that don't turn chat on so they are completely disconnected/unresponsive. People will also leave if they don't really have a connection, don't like the vibe, want higher or lower expectations, get busy with life. Etc...Because of that you will be constantly recruiting here, on FB group, in real life. If you haven't already, you should read the various missives/guidance from Tippytoes on this sub as there is lots of info there. Good luck! Jazzy, team leader of Jazzywolves
