I have the max players set to 8 and 6 teams.
I just tried to change the team size to dynamic which im gonna try.
I use team 1, 2, 3 and 4 as the teams ingame, thats why i chose team 5 and 6 as the spawning teams.
I have 8 spawn pads, and 8 maximum players and im using the same pregame spawn area as the team choosing area.
