Star Wars CCG teams are standing playtest and travel groups of players who test together and show up at majors. They are separate from Decipher's 1990s volunteer Squadron Members, from the Friday two-player Team Tournament format at modern majors, and from the biennial Outrider Cup geographic all-star sides.

Olson posted the Team 5 active/inactive split in Slack.[1] Players Committee wraps still print Hayes, Joe, and Phil as Team 5 at 2025–2026 majors.
A 2026 GEMPC bracket-reveal stream also named Money Ball in the same breath as New Allies, Team 5, and Killer Bees. No public member list has been published for Money Ball.[2]
