There are a couple ways to create a new team. During the registration process, you can join an existing team or create a new one. If you've already registered, log in to your page and click Dashboard, where you'll have the same options to join a team or create a new one.  

Keep in mind that the person who creates a team is automatically set as that team's captain. You can change this by visiting "My Team" after you've logged in.
