/// What is Team Racing? ///

#TeamRacing is a channel on SRL that specializes in, well, Team races. I realized how ambiguous the name sounds, but it is not a Twitch team or an attempt to break off of SRL in vengeful spite for banning certain races, etc. In fact, some of what Team Racing is about is putting team-styled races that already occur on SRL and put them in a more friendly format. In the future, I hope this gets put onto SRL in the future as an additional feature, but lots of testing and implementations need to be addressed before it's official (hence, this idea).

/// What kinds of races does Team Racing do? ///

There are several possibilities, and I don't mind inviting more creativity if you have any additional ideas. Here are the big ones:

*** Team Bingos - Example: Ocarina of Time Team Bingo blackout, where a team of 2 or more works together to complete every square on a bingo card. Other challenges could include Team Bingo Lockouts and whatever else you can be creative with.

*** Relay Races - Example: Paper Mario relay race. 2 Teams of 4 set a goal to complete Chapter 1 in each Paper Mario game in the series. Teammate 1 completes Paper Mario, chapter 1. Teammate 2 completes TTYD, chapter 1. Etc. Each teammate plays one at a time, and when one teammate finishes, he passes the baton to the next teammate to start his or her goal. Race finishes when last teammate finishes last relay goal. This also works well for Mega Man and Mario games.

*** Co-op Races - Example: Portal 2 has an online gameplay feature where teams of 2 compete against each other to finish the game. Other games could include Bubble Bobble, Chip n Dale Rescue Rangers, Goof Troop, Mario Kart Double Dash, and many others.

*** Insert Team Race Idea here - Just me thinking, but following:
	Pokemon: Combined 100 Caught pokemon.
	Super Mario 64: Get a combined 200 stars (with everyone involved beating the game)
	Wii Fit: Lose a combined 10 pounds........(jk lol)
	<Game>: Beat a game 10x (combined)

/// Notes and Stuff ///

DemoXin released a version that is faster and more durable. It also supports more commands, but he's currently working on v3, which will have relay race support specifically along with more optimal functions.
