I think it should output in the same form it was input. Captilisation of the RelayTeam names is Shield specific. because that is how we abbreviate the group names.

I disagree. The argument made is that Relay Team names may not be auto-generated (e.g. House names). However, if they are, then they look pretty bad and cause a readability issue.

The inverse of this is do non-auto-generated names look bad in capitals. I don't think so. I think "MONASH B" has the same impact as "Monash B". Whereas "GHYMOP1" looks much better than "Ghymop1".

In this case we're talking about a team's name, not a person's name (you're not looking for a surname), so capitalizing it isn't going to be bad.
