if it was me, I'd query the teams database and get the teamid and the team name, and store them in an array. Then I'd use the array to poplulate a drop down list with the team names.

When the visitor enters a password, it would send the teamid and the password to another page which would do a query to the team table and check the password is correct for that team, if it is, then it would enter the user details into the user table along with the teamid.

for example,

[!--quoteo--][div class=\'quotetop\']QUOTE[/div][div class=\'quotemain\'][!--quotec--]
$count;
$sql = "SELECT teamid, teamname FROM teamtable ORDER BY teamname ASC";
$sql_result = mysql_query($sql,$database) or die(mysql_error());
while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($sql_result)) {
$teamid[$count] = $row['teamid'];
$teamname[$count] = $row['teamname];
$count++;
}

// then to create the drop down list you would do

<select name="teams">
<option value=" " Selected> </option>
<?php
$rc = 0;
while ($teamid[$count] <> '') {
echo "<option value='".$teamid[$count]."'>".$teamname[$count]."</option>";
$rc++;
}
?>
</select>
