To "team up" means to make a pair, or to meet and do something together--

Teem or teem ( rhymes with team ) means to rain very hard--in sheets, or cats and dogs--
You'll be glad you took an umbrella when you hear the thunder and it begins to teem.
If if stops drizzling and starts to teem, we'll have to run for cover.


Now that you know that, you can say--
"The team was sorry when it began to teem. It meant  the game was postponed."

Note--"team" is also an old-fashioned word for a pair of horses or other draft animals that pull a wagon or a cart. A pair of oxen may be a team. This is why truck drivers are still called "teamsters"--they once were "teamsters", meaning people who drove "teams"--
