What are Team Jurisdictions?
Team Jurisdictions set where each ER:LC team is allowed to operate. If a player stays outside their team's area too long, Melonly warns them and can then respawn, wanted, kick or team kick them.
How to Use Team Jurisdictions
Find Team Jurisdictions on the ER:LC Integration → API page, below Auto Arrest Protection.
