+## Problem
+`app/routers_v2/teams.py:141-143` had a duplicate `if ranking_max is not None` filter block — a copy-paste no-op of the filter already applied at lines 138-140.
+
+## Root Cause
+Copy-paste error when adding the `ranking_min` filter. The developer likely duplicated the `ranking_max` block and forgot to change it to `ranking_min`.
+
+## Solution
+Removed the 3-line duplicate block (lines 141-143). The first `ranking_max` filter at lines 138-140 was correct and sufficient.
