I don't think the Europe/Aus team even had a leader last time, whoever was around just ran with the guesses.
Last round was... chaotic lol. The structure of the game didn't so much require a captain. This round will be a bit more traditional, and the team leader would just be required to make sure the spreadsheet stays updated, coordinate the books read and how they fill the brief, and help with any issues that arise.
