>>21082848The champ may call "new team" or "new champ". If they call new champ, first to respond with a trip and indicate a will to champ gets to champ. They typically use 3-4 teams for a few battles each. It's considered customary to use teams for a decent amount of time, and to not hog the champ title excessively--2 hours is probably too much.
There are a couple technicalities and some things that cause confusion sometimes. This chart helps to explain what to do if the thread is confused about who's champ.
Hope this helps! Thanks for participating in the fun with us.
