Always wondered how that worked. I have never been in any league team but I do realize that can cause some improvement in the score and placement. Teams are allowed to discuss the entries and help each other, right?

Correct. But we may not vote on each other's images. Its policed by the honor system.

Not only a honor system but I believe SC can monitor votes and have done so in the past! I recall way back in one of the first leagues a group or groups were caught voting each other higher.
Ok so I've been here long enough to know, but I don't... What is the league? Do you have to be invited? Are there special challenges for just that? (sniffs back little tears because no one invited me to the party)
Cory how does it work?? IE certain challenges?? Surely theres a forum, I read the League thing at the top of the pages, but it seems to not exist anymore

It's all 3 challenges each week. Teams of 6 photographers compete against a different team each week. Ateam's best 4 scores that week are used to establish a team score. If your team's score is higher than the opposing team's score in a given week, you "win" that week. If my team wins this week, we'll have a 1-0 record. At the end, there will be playoffs amongst the top teams.
That's it in a nutshell. There are lots of details I won't regurgitate here. The main one: if every member of your team enters at least one challenge in a given week, you get a half-point bonus for that. So as a team member, you commit to entering at least one challenge a week.

Team Photo League is a league-based competition between 6-photographer teams, contested within the established framework of DPC weekly challenges.
Teams will be divided into two leagues, and the leagues will compete independently of each other.
A “season” will consist of as many weeks as required for each team in a league to play each other team in that league once.
After the end of the season, the two league-winning teams will face off against each other after a 2-week hiatus to determine the Grand Champion.
Competition will take place in the three regularly-scheduled, weekly DPC challenges: currently these are the Sunday, Tuesday, and Thursday challenges. Free studies and any special challenges will not count in this competition. If in any given week one or more of these three challenges is not held by DPC, then the competition will utilize whichever official challenges ARE run that week.
Team scores will be determined by the 4 best scores by team members that week. A team member may only contribute one score per week.
The winning teams get 3 pts per matchup, and the losing team gets 0 pts. In the unlikely event of a tie (team averages identical in a weekly matchup) each team will receive 1 pt that week.
A team whose 6 members all make entries in a given week will receive a 0.5 pt bonus for that week win or lose.
If fewer than 4 team members contribute an entry in a given week, the team will receive 0 pts towards its average for each player fewer than 4 to compete.
