[Edited to make more clear that I am looking for a tournament with up to six teams]I'm captain of a team with an important event coming up.
I have "Director" permission on BBO.

I tried to set up a Swiss team tournament for our team to practice vs. one to five other good teams -- but it looks like I can only set up pair and individual tournaments.
An email to Support@Bridgebase.com got a reply that "Setting up Swiss Team tourneys is restricted to BBO staff."

Why is that?
Is it true that no one other than BBO staff has Swiss Team access?
Is there anything I could do as a workaround? (My end goal is to be able to run events for 4-6 total teams)

Thanks, all.

Team Matches are not tournaments. Anybody can create them.

Exactly.

I want to create a Swiss Team tournament for from two to six teams, depending on the date.
This seems to be impossible to do.

Yeah, you can't do that. Swiss teams support exactly 2 teams.

You have to schedule a whole bunch of team matches and do the paperwork for a tournament yourself with help from the team captains.

Swiss Team tournaments are still an experimental feature, so we don't make them generally available.

After contacting our management, SelfGovern was given the ability to create it.

Given the ability to self-govern?
