Point Entity

The info_player_teamspawn (abbreviation: i_p_t) entity is the TFC equivalent of info_player_deathmatch for HLDM # that is, the location where players will initially spawn after selecting their team and class. In most cases, info_player_teamspawn entities should be placed in a sheltered location # usually a respawn room, but this might vary depending on the type of map being designed.

info_player_teamspawn controls the teams available for players to select when they join the game as well # each team you want to be able to spawn must have at least one info_player_teamspawn entity with its Team value set to that team.<BR>
The bounding box of the info_player_teamspawn is the same size as the bounding box of the player that will spawn there, so make that the info_player_teamspawn doesn't overlap any brushes (or the player will get stuck).

There are actually more properties available for info_player_teamspawn than are listed here.
If you look at the changelog for the Team Fortress Classic.fgd entity definition file at https://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/Team_Fortress_Classic.fgd there's a change which reads
"Removed TFCriteria and TFEffects5 from info_player_teamspawn and moved relevant properties to TFSpawnInfo."
I'm not sure what the owner of that comment considered relevant, but TFEffects5 includes things like...
health (Add/Subtract health)
armorvalue (Armor Value %)
a_s (Add/Subtract shells)
a_n (Add/Subtract nails)
a_r (Add/Subtract rockets)
a_c (Add/Subtract cells)
ammo_detpack (Add/Subtract detpack)
no_grenades_1 (Add/subtract grenades #1)
no_grenades_2 (Add/subtract grenades #2)
and more, but those are the especially relevant ones I saw. These are all available and will work just fine on info_player_teamspawn, but since the TFEffects5 associated was removed in the .fgd they won't show up by default in mapping tools like JACK or TrenchBroom.
