# Captain Queue

The Captain Queue feature brings a strategic element to team selection by allowing two captains to take turns choosing their team members. Captains can be assigned based on **Highest MMR**, **Lowest MMR**, **Randomized Selection**, or an **Admin Decision**. This feature supports a variety of pick orders, including snake drafts and alternate turns, to ensure balanced and fair gameplay.

In **Admin Decision** mode, the bot creates a **Captain Select Channel** automatically. Admins (or the roles that you allow to pick captains) mention the 2 players who become captains in this channel. The bot then creates a **Team Select Channel**, where the captains pick players one by one. Only the 2 captains can interact in the Team Select Channel. Once all players are selected, teams are finalized, and the game proceeds.

This feature is ideal for competitive servers looking to add a layer of strategy and player interaction to their in-house games.
