Credit system work good for Players but not for Teams.

When creating a Ladder, (set for individuals), the credit system works as it should.
When creating a Ladder, (set for teams), the credit system is ignored? Teams can join without spending credits.

That would be awesome..

Currently i just use the LMS mode & do the math myself for each race to figure on points, but all you need to do is have it assign points based on a reverse order.. Instead of 1st place, that person would get 10 pts, 2nd would get 9, etc (based on whatever scale you used)

I'm still trying to wrap my head around how leagues work, but i just use tournaments & they dont connect to anything except winner get xp on ladder. (would love to be able to use the league system tho)

Currently using 4.5 so i'll have to look into 5.0 pro version.

If you request to join a team, one of the team leaders will need to confirm you, then team members will increase.
