Teams faced off against each other in various forum events and games. [[SpongeBob Pictionary]], [[SpongeBob Jeopardy!]], [[SpongeBob Wheel of Fortune]], [[Dunces & Dragons]], [[SpongeCraft]], [[Among Us]], [[Kahoot]], [[Cards Against Humanity]] and [[Jackbox]] were examples of games used in said events.

In March 2022, it was announced teams would be ending in July 2022 with [[Teams Mania]], which was the final teams event on SBC. Teams were disbanded permanently after the event concluded on July 31st, 2022.

The [[Good Noodles]], originally a VIP usergroup that SBCers could purchase access to with [[doubloons]], was converted into a team and the Krusty Krusher were introduced as a second team. The original concept of Teams, as proposed by tvguy, was a site-wide RPG that saw users battling for control of the forums themselves with member-on-member battles. The teams were provided with two private subforums where each team could "plot against the other." However, being that lack of staff involvement was a cornerstone of the concept, the first release of Teams left most users confused on its purpose. This, coupled with the pay-to-play (with doubloons) nature of both teams, led to the failure of Teams 1. A staple of the original Teams was the Team Bank, where a team raised its own funds in order to keep their subforum. While neither the Good Noodles nor the Krusty Krushers defaulted while they existed, the involvement of doubloons in Teams was an unnecessary complication in a forum feature designed to increase activity.

*Battles now take place on Roblox, a free-to-play MMORPG.

While largely an incremental update built off Teams 1, Teams 2 crucially saw battles move onto Roblox, which laid the groundwork for future Teams release. Notably, Teams 2 still saw Teams as a medieval-themed roleplaying game.
