What is a City Team?
New here? Light sword is a martial art and a sport. Athletes train at local schools called academies, where they learn footwork, forms, and sparring using special training swords that glow. Then they compete in league events — real matches with rules, referees, and scoring.
A City Team is the official team for an academy's city. Each city has one team with its own name, its own colors, and its own crest (a crest is the team's badge — like a shield with the team's symbol on it). You don't sign up for a City Team. If you train at an academy, you are on its City Team automatically. Every match you win at a league event earns points for your city, and the season standings show which city's team is on top — just like a home team in any other sport.
Want to build your own squad with friends and enter team events at tournaments? That's a different thing, called a Club Team.
