Create and delete 'groups'
Create and delete teams inside those 'groups'
Rename teams and groups

Add and remove members to teams

Allow managers to invite other members, and have the members accept the invites
Allow team leaders to change settings and assign managers

Randomly but evenly distribute a list of players between teams in a group
Disallow PVP between team members
Enable/disable tag display per-team
Configure a default team which will be used as a template for all created teams
All teams are easily editable in one file

Example usage:

You want to host a PVP tournament. You make a group, call it "PVPTournament" or whatever else you want to call it. You can then create teams for your players, and then put all those players into whichever teams you like. Or you can use the built in distribute function and let the plugin randomly, but evenly decide where to place players. You can then assign team leaders, who can then assign managers for their teams and invite other members into their teams. If you then decide to rename a team or your whole group, you can do that very easily. You can also allow your team members to privately chat in their built-in team chat that the plugin provides. Team leaders are also able to summon all team members to themselves in order to regroup. You can even set a tag for each team, which will be displayed in front of the members whenever they speak. Overall, the plugin provides a fully functional system that is especially useful for management and administration of events and competitions, but you are in no way limited to just that.

/teams reset (group) - Resets all teams (members + points + settings), or teams in the specified group.
/teams reload - Reloads all groups/teams/configs. You must do this after editing the files manually.

Each team is stored in a teams.yml file which the plugin creates at the first launch of your server. Your teams will never disappear until you delete them. You may also edit this file instead of using the in-game commands, but only do this if you know what you are doing. One very important thing to note is to NEVER put a person in two teams at once, in the same group! Over multiple groups, it's perfectly fine - that's actually what groups were introduced for!

Leaders/Managers

A leader can set a team's settings, assign another leader, assign managers and delete their team. Managers can simply invite other members into the team. The way this works is that if only your server admins will be organising event, you can just give them all the permissions they need and you're good. But if you want your players to also create teams on their own and such, you can assign leaders which can then assign managers and let the team manage themselves. It's up to you - this plugin is very versatile and you only need to use what you need to.

   points: 0
   #Managers can invite members. IMPORTANT: If you don't want to have any default managers, leave this field as 'managers: []'
   managers: []

teams.delete - Allows you to delete teams/groups.
teams.modify - Allows you to rename teams/groups, set team settings even if you are not the leader, add/remove managers even if you are not the leader, add/remove members without having to invite them first, change points, and use the distribute command.
