Teams, Rosters, and Leagues
A short model of Heir, with one example you can use throughout the guides.
You manage your players once as a Team, then decide which Leagues to enter. Each League gets its own Roster.
One Team, two Leagues
Imagine The Vanguard has seven Members. It enters a League with five seats and another with six. The Team is the same group, but the Leagues have different Rosters, eligibility, availability, and competition history.
| Term | Plain-language meaning |
|---|---|
| Team | Your independent group of players, led by one Captain. |
| League | The competition running its rules, schedules, and standings. |
| Enrollment | The relationship that lets a Team compete in a League. An Organizer may need to approve it. |
| Roster | The players representing the Team in one League. Every active Roster is derived from a Team through an approved Enrollment. |
| Priority | The order used to choose Team Members for available seats; 1 is first. |
| Seat | A place on a League Roster. Eligibility and Priority decide who fills it. |
| Game server | The machine running the game. Its RCON connection is separate from Discord. |
| Identity | Your linked game account, such as a Mordhau PlayFab ID or a verified Steam account. |
Who owns each decision?
- Team Captain: invites Members, orders Priority, changes the Team profile, and requests Enrollments.
- League Owner / Organizer: sets competition rules and roster size, reviews Enrollments, schedules matches, and manages results.
- Roster Captain: manages the League Roster's availability and supported competition actions. This may be the highest-priority rostered Member if the Team Captain is not rostered.
- Discord manager: approves and maintains the Heir installation and its Discord permissions. This does not automatically transfer League ownership.
A Free Agent is a League Member who does not currently hold a Roster seat. It is a status, not an extra role you need to claim before playing.
Competition words
A Fixture is a scheduled matchup. A Match is the competition result or recorded series. A Game is one map within tracked play, and a Round is a round within a supported game mode. A Tournament organizes its own field and progression. A Season groups League history and standings.
