| A: You should sign up in the [[https://www.dpchallenge.com/league/league_registration.php|Registration page]]. While registering, you can request up to two people you would like to be on your team. You must rank them as your **1st Choice** and **2nd Choice**. The system will try to fulfill as many requests as possible when forming the teams. You can also indicate if you are willing to be a team captain (note that team assignment is not impacted by this, but can be used to assign the initial captain role). | A: You should sign up in the [[https://www.dpchallenge.com/league/league_registration.php|Registration page]].
