Then lookup the the [Teams Filter] down to details and filter a SINGLE report were either the ToText of the Teams Filter contains the record [Team] or else the [Teams Filter] is blank meaning no filter. I would make a formula checkbox field to do that logic ad then filter the reports on the checkbox formula field.
