How do I translate the words “player” and “team” into Mandarin?
I have noticed there is a large number of words that translate as “player” and “team”. I've been trying to decipher those and so far it seems that:
玩家 wánjiā, 玩者 wánzhě – those two mean a player of a game
竞赛者 jìngsài zhě – this one would be a contestant in a game such as
race?
游戏者 yóuxì zhě – a video game player or gamer
球员 qiúyuán – player of a game involving a ball, such as football,
basketball (golf?) etc.
And there there are the teams:
班 bān – team?
团队 tuándu – team?
组别 zǔbié – team?
球队 qiúduì – sports team involving a ball
Is my thinking correct? What is the difference between those terms? Are there other terms I am missing here?

Depend on context “player” have to be translated differently according to the adjectival description
team athlete: '运动员/ 员'- e.g. 篮球运动员/ 篮球员 (basketball player); 足球运动员/ 足球员 (football player)
individual athlete: '手' - e.g. 网球手 (tennis player); 羽毛球手 (badminton player)
musical instruments player : '演奏者' - e.g. 钢琴演奏者 (Piano player); 吉他演奏者 (guitar player)
game player : '玩者/ 玩家' e.g. 游戏玩者/ 游戏玩家 (game player);
Note:
钢琴家 = (professional, master) pianist
吉他手 = (professional, master) guitarist
sport team is called 队 as in 上海足球队, 上海篮球队 (both can be called 上海队); 球队 just means team(s) of a sport involving a ball, as in '上海的球队' (Shanghai's teams)
For pro soccer organization, we usually call it 足球俱乐部 or 足球球會/ 球會 (soccer club) , the 足球队 (soccer team) belong to the 球會 (club)

Your thinking is correct!
班 is always 班级 (bānjí) — usually it means "class"
团队 (tuánduì) — you might consider the word as "group"
组别 (zǔbié) — also means "group", but it doesn't always have many people in the group
球队 (qiúduì) — sports team involving a ball, it's only used in ball games, like 足球队 (football team), 篮球队 (basketball team)…

Oh, I see, this is very helpful. It seems to me, looking at examples, that 组别 is about categories, classes etc. – any grouping for a specific purpose. Would you agree?

Your thinking is correct!
班 is always 班级 (bānjí) — usually it means "class"
团队 (tuánduì) — you might consider the word as "group"
组别 (zǔbié) — also means "group", but it doesn't always have many people in the group
球队 (qiúduì) — sports team involving a ball, it's only used in ball games, like 足球队 (football team), 篮球队 (basketball team)…

Oh, I see, this is very helpful. It seems to me, looking at examples, that 组别 is about categories, classes etc. – any grouping for a specific purpose. Would you agree?
