Description
In the slides to the current tutorials (e.g., https://github.com/kokkos/kokkos-tutorials/blob/master/Intro-Full/Slides/KokkosTutorial_PACT19.pdf, p. 101ff)
the constructor to TeamPolicy is described as:
TeamPolicy < ExecutionSpace >( numberOfTeams , teamSize )
while on the official kokkos wiki the constructor looks like the following (https://github.com/kokkos/kokkos/wiki/Kokkos::TeamPolicy):
Kokkos::TeamPolicy<>( league_size, team_size [, vector_length])
In my opinion the name numberOfTeams is very misleading, as it appears to be dependent on the teamSize, which it is not. It should be renamed to league_size.
The calculation of work on page 101 might also need an update.

Research direction
Start with the Intro-Full KokkosTutorial_PACT19.pdf slides linked in the issue, focusing on page 101 and the following pages, then compare the TeamPolicy terminology with the linked Kokkos wiki page. Update the numberOfTeams wording to match league_size and verify whether the page 101 work calculation also needs revision.
