There are many people who are starting "teams", more than usual. However, their lack of immediate and frequent practice makes them more of a guild. Guild is definited as

–noun
1.
an organization of persons with related interests, goals, etc., especially one formed for mutual aid or protection.

Now let's look at the definition of a team:

–noun
1.
a number of persons forming one of the sides in a game or contest: a football team.
2.
a number of persons associated in some joint action: a team of advisers.

I've selected in bold the key difference between the two. A team takes action, as in, more than words. When a team goes past 4 people (because I would say 3 like the show, one as an alternate in case a team member can't make it to the tournament), it gets ridiculous.

Now let's bring up distance. I may not be one to speak since I have teammates in 3 different states, but I have a means of getting to them and they can travel as well. When you get to a point where your teammates are across the country, how do you expect to take any action? At that point, you are a guild because there is nothing to cooperatively act upon.

I'm not sure if there is a topic to discuss the two of them (pros and cons of each) so I've decided to make one.

Key topics would be
- Benefits of teams
- Benefits of guilds
- Why they differ or why you feel they are one in the same

The term "Clan" is also fairly similar to these two phrases imo.

So techniquly I'm in a guild as the leader wants anyone and fun, but I like competitive groups, with a small team, that's strange/cool.

I wonder how this thread get on

A clan is a group of people descended from a common ancestor. Unless everyone is related, whether they practice or not, that term isn't accurate.

"In many ways, the work of a critic is easy. We risk very little, yet enjoy a position over those who offer up their work and their selves to our judgment. We thrive on negative criticism, which is fun to write and to read. But the bitter truth we critics must face, is that in the grand scheme of things, the average piece of junk is probably more meaningful than our criticism designating it so. But there are times when a critic truly risks something, and that is in the discovery and defense of the new. The world is often unkind to new talent, new creations. The new needs friends. Last night, I experienced something new: an extraordinary meal from a singularly unexpected source. To say that both the meal and its maker have challenged my preconceptions about fine cooking is a gross understatement. They have rocked me to my core. In the past, I have made no secret of my disdain for Chef Gusteau's famous motto, "Anyone can cook." But I realize, only now do I truly understand what he meant. Not everyone can become a great artist; but a great artist can come from anywhere."

-Anton Ego/Peter O'Toole (1932-2013)

Definition of Tribe

triple beef burgers are beytastic... yeah i went there

This thread is for explaining what the difference between an actual "Team" is compared to a Guild. Which is an excellent topic to bring up.
Please do not clutter this with "If you want to join my ___" nonsense.

Personally, I don't think there are any foundations holding up these teams anyway. Yeah, maybe a tag at one or two tournaments or a group of friends playing against anther, but these have gotten so far excessive, with all the current battle conferences, meet-ups and training sessions, lol. Truth is, they never even go forward which is perhaps why she brang these up. I think it's a great topic, but once you explain the two and delibrate a little, it all loses its gleam really.

But obviously, if its a guild, it's led by a crazy, sadistic Wigglytuff. If it is a team, its led by any other Mortal. Its common facts...

Actually the term Clan could be used for the definition isn't just what you put

Definition of Clan
1: a: a Celtic group especially in the Scottish Highlands comprising a number of households whose heads
claim descent from a common ancestor

b: a group of people tracing descent from a common ancestor : family

2: a group united by a common interest or common characteristics

A group united by a common intrest in this case the common intrest is beyblade

It's difficult to say for overseas, but here in the UK, people like the idea of a team, but there has yet to be a 'tag team' tourney or one which solely involves teams.

Guild is a more commonly used term in the gaming community; clan also implies that you feel as though your teammates are like family, which unless you're constantly communicating with them (doesn't happen here), you're a guild. Play World of Warcraft.

In New York, we have three legitimate teams where we do organize practice sessions and share information with one another.

Hah, I actually learnt the difference between Guild and Team just a few months ago during a lecture; so it feels ironic to see it again here on the WBO (as if it were a test if i was paying attention...)

guilds tend to share more interests and goals, but teams tend to be more compeditive, and aim to get higher (which i want to be on a team, but currently im in a guild and the owner will get angry if i left (like last time lol))

Teams do just guilds have tons of team work and everyone thinks alike so lets say you start a guild caller The Big Bang Guild everyone would have a big bang pegasis and they would use the same flawless techniques but teams are flopsy and do think alike just not as much

Except that teams have a lot more meaning to exist than a 'guild' who cannot even ever meet up ...
