Pretty simple - basically, people run the RC5 clients under their
individual email addresses. Then, to join a team, they must a) have a
password mailed to them, which is done using a little button on the status
page for their e-mail address, and b) use the password to join the team.
Currently, one can only join teams by number - FoRKBusters is #1146, and
nobody has joined it yet.

For an example of what one can do w/r/t RC5 if one puts one's mind to it,
check out team #87 ("The Army of Light"), currently ranked #44, and the
e-mail address "rc5@babylon.caltech.edu", currently ranked #18. :)
