A team manager (also called the team captain) is the player responsible for creating and operating a team on C3 Esports. Every team has exactly one manager at a time. Managers have elevated permissions that regular players do not: they can register teams for seasons, manage the roster, submit match results, and file disputes.
Being a manager is a commitment. If you go inactive during a season, your team may forfeit matches. Make sure you are prepared to be available on match days.

Manager responsibilities

Create and configure your team

Set your team’s name, tag, logo, and description. Share your invite code with players.

Register for a season

During the registration window, submit your team for the upcoming season and select a division.

Build and manage your roster

Add and remove players. Ensure everyone meets eligibility requirements before match day.

Verify roster eligibility

Every player must have a verified .edu email and a linked Discord account to compete.

Submit match results

After each match, submit game-by-game scores and upload replay files for each game.

File disputes

If a score is wrong or a rule was violated, file a formal dispute from the match page.

Manage team settings

Update team info, transfer the manager role, or disband the team.

How to become a manager

Any registered C3 Esports user can create a team and become its manager — just navigate to c3esports.com/teams/create.
Before creating a team, make sure you have completed your own account setup: verified your .edu email and linked your Discord account. You need both to compete, and your players will need them too.
You can also become a manager if an existing manager transfers the role to you. See Team Settings for details.
