    <p>The TeamBalancer plugin is used to assign each player in a game session a team number. Players by default have no team, and join teams by calling <em>RequestSpecificTeam()</em> or <em>RequestAnyTeam()</em></p>
    <p>Operations include:</p>
    <UL>
<LI><strong>SetTeamSizeLimits()</strong> - Define the maximum number of players that can join a given team number
<LI><strong>SetDefaultAssignmentAlgorithm()</strong> - Define how to automatically add new players to team - either filling teams in order, or joining the smallest team. This is triggered by a call to <em>RequestAnyTeam() </em>
<LI><strong>SetForceEvenTeams()</strong> - Cause all teams to be evenly balanced. Teams with too many players will have players randomly moved to teams with too few players.
<LI><strong>RequestSpecificTeam()</strong> - Change to a requested team. If this team is full, your join will be pending, until either that team is not full, or a player on the desired team wants to switch with your team.
<LI><strong>CancelRequestSpecificTeam()</strong> - If     <em>RequestSpecificTeam()</em> has not yet completed, this will remove that request.
<LI><strong>RequestAnyTeam()</strong> - Join a team randomly, based on the default team assignment algorithm.
<LI><strong>GetMyTeam()</strong> - Return which team I am on, if any.
<LI><strong>SetAllowHostMigration()</strong> - Call with true for peer to peer, otherwise call with false.
</UL>

<p><em>See the sample project Samples\TeamBalancer for an implementation of this system.</em></p></TD>
