I run a busy bar trivia game (around 90 players typically), and players are having trouble joining their team properly. They may capitalize a letter, enter a different email, etc. This leads to multiple team entries of the same name with points left on the table. EX: Great Barrier Queef had three entries on the scoreboard with different points. Since, as I understand it, the first answer in from the team is the one that gets recorded, I have no clue how to add these other points into the overall total, or which Barrier phone is in the lead. This could all be remedied by offering a “Type in your Team Name” Feature. I have no interest in lead capturing with emails. I just want my players to scan the QR, type in a name, and be signed up and linked to their teammates. The follow along thing is useless. Players want to see the questions and gifs, as I use them for hints, and I do a picture round. Sitting around someone else’s phone isn’t any fun. Please address!!

Please see [Improved Basic Team Mode - “Follow Along” Participants](https://community.crowdpurr.com/t/improved-basic-team-mode-follow-along-participants/285).

“Follow Along” participants _would_ actually solve the issue. It was be as if they’re playing, they would see everything the actual team leader sees, they just can’t vote. We’re working on a more robust solution.
