+## PR #42: fix: remove duplicate ranking_max filter in get_teams
+
+**Verdict**: APPROVED (posted as COMMENT — Gitea blocks self-approval)
+
+**Files reviewed**: `app/routers_v2/teams.py`
+
+**Change**: Removed 3 lines — a duplicate `if ranking_max is not None: all_teams = all_teams.where(Team.ranking <= ranking_max)` block at old lines 141–143, identical to the block at lines 138–140.
+
+**Analysis**: The duplicate was a no-op copy-paste. Peewee would have generated `WHERE ranking <= $1 AND ranking <= $1` — valid but redundant SQL. Removal has zero functional impact.
+
+**Issues found**: None. Correctness, security, and conventions all clear.
+
+**Note**: PR from `ai/paper-dynasty-database#21` branch (agent-created). Gitea API returns "approve your own pull is not allowed" when authenticated user is the PR author — used COMMENT state as fallback.
