Team Battles no more visible at the team sides

Greeting. I had several Internal League tournaments in Classic Categories and 960, in addition to children's events, now I find none, I find that this was not the solution, it was best to place the option for team captains that had to accept the invitations to tournaments that made it, you were easier to program than to eliminate everything, now the players do not find how to enter the tournaments.
Friends, please cancel the latest changes! We create numerous children's tournaments on Sundays. They are often divided by age. In total, about 400 children play. Parents and children are already used to entering the tournament like this. And now I was bombarded with questions about how to enter the tournament, and where to find it. I cried about it all night last night. I don't know what to do now. Not everyone knows how to follow links. Yes, and it is inconvenient! In addition, past tournaments are not displayed. But these are results and statistics! Please return everything as it was. We were also once included in a tournament without our consent. And it was displayed in the history. But believe me, the evil from this was much more than from the new changes.

In addition, there is an offer. Now everyone is sitting at home, our coaches and I create a schedule of tournaments for the whole week, create them in advance and publish them. Participants can enter tournaments in advance. But if the team battles were displayed in the team tab, the personal future tournaments that you entered are not visible anywhere. It would be very convenient to display this somewhere, so as not to climb through a bunch of tabs and links.
Thank you in advance. I believe that You will meet us and make your service even more convenient.
As I said in an other thread, a fix is on its way,

Tournaments/team battles created by the leader will always show up, even if the leader hasn't joined.
There is also new system of validation to show tournaments/team battle which currently under developement.
However be warned that could be upcoming changes as it’s not finished yet.
@Solal35 Thanks, please note that there should also be tournaments/team battles displayed in which teams are in, not only by the leader. To give you an example, i organize 120+ teams in a league with 12 team battles two times a week. There is also a Swedish chess league that have 4 divisions with 40 teams and there are also of course other organized team battles that take part regularly. If you only display tournaments/team battles by the team leaders, it will lead to way less participants in all those team battles.
Dear lichess team!
First of all, many thanks for this free server and the possibility to play with friends in this horiible time!
Our real life chess club, SV Wattenscheid, started participating in team tournaments here.
Not everyone in our team is experienced online; and finding our next tourney becomes a problem because it is not shown on our team site anymore.
After talking with the organizator, we found out, that that feature changed and the team captain must manually join somewhere.
Would you please undo the changes?! It was so nice to go to the team forum and see our next tournaments.
Sending the link with the tourney at every member in a team is certainly an option, but as i said above, not everyone is experienced online and we want more to get more people join from our club and would like to only show the team-site-forum with the next tourney!
Thanks very much in advance - and keep it going!
Kind regards,
Jenny (Funkmaus) and Janusz (WattSchrott) in the name of SV Wattenscheid 30 e. V.
Agree 100% with Funkmaus above! It helps the less online savvy people a lot of have them all displayed! Grüsse nach Wattenscheid!
Dear Lichess Team,
I fully agree with Funkmaus as also all others. It's much more comfortable for all my team-members to visit our online-club, look what's going on, confirm as many tournaments as you prefer and continue to play.

So please undo the change.

Best regards

I second what many others say - the leader of the team is often a scholastic organizer, and the events in question are tournament sections. The leader would not be participating. To avoid spam, you could continue to list team battles that either:

a) Were created by one of the teams' leaders, or
b) Have at least one player from the relevant team join
