Welcome to the Official Redemption® Message Board!
the essence of the rule would allow people to play duplicate dominants anytime.... but to no effect.
I'll be honest, I'm not even sure I was entirely aware that players are not allowed to "dump" Dominants in a Teams event the way they can in every other format.

How is a player allowed to dump dominants in other formats?Situation...We are playing 2 player (T1-2P or T2-2P, I don't think that matters), and I have a single hero in my territory while my opponent has none. The Speed Bump LS is out and active, and I have 11 cards in my hand of which Christian Martyr is the only card I can possibly play . How can I "dump" CM to get my hand down to 10 without either being forced to kill my hero (by putting the card in play) or ending my turn (by discarding CM)?

By "dump" I didn't mean you can just discard them at will, but you are allowed to play them for no effect. In the example you gave if you had NJ instead of CM you could have played that to get your hand to 10 so you could rescue.

Only 1 of each dominant may be played by a TEAM. When they are played they are given to the other TEAM to put into their LOR to remember which have already been played (they do not count as redeemed souls, of course) until the end of the game. Extra dominants may be discarded (ie. to kill CoM), but may not be played. Doubt is also able to be played straight into battle (instead of territory), but does not prohibit adding another EC to battle as well.
The difference between the duplicate dominants case in TEAMS and what you mean by dumping in other formats is that in TEAMS a player is restricted from playing a duplicate dominant*. This is qualitatively different than the case where you can play the dominant but it won't activate (solo NJ example) or cannot target (FA with Lampstands active) so it has no effect.
A team can only collectively play ONE copy of any Dominant card. Once played, that card is displayed in that teams Land of Redemption for verification purposes. Only ONE player can utilize the SOG/NJ combo, not one from each teammate.

Doubt is not played any differently than the text on the card. That was an "underwoodism" that Rob shot down when he made Teams an official event.
