How to correct Error with pointer to char struct in C?

i've been doing this code and i am new on using pointers. It gives me the error

assignment to 'char *' from incompatible pointer type 'char (*)[10]

and i don't know what can i do to correct it.

The code is as follows:

typedef struct dados_jogo
{
  float jogo; 
  char data[10]; 
  char equipa1[10]; 
  char equipa2[10]; 
  char jog1[50];
  char jog2[50];
  int mapas1; 
  int mapas2; 
  char *venc; 
} jogo;

typedef struct equipa
{
  char nome[10]; 
  jogador jogadores[NUM];
} team;

Main declarations:

char winner[10];
int op = 1;
int nj = 0, ng = 0;
char nomeficheiro[20];
char ficheiro[20];
jogador players[NUM];
jogo games[JOG];
team eq[EQP];
FILE *fp;

Piece of function where the error is:

if (games[0].mapas1 > games[0].mapas2)
{
  games[0].venc = &games[0].equipa1;
  strcpy(games[4].equipa1, games[0].venc);
  char *ptrw = &games[0].equipa1;
  for (i = 0; i < 5; i++)
  {
    for (j = 0; j < 10; j++)
    {
      if (strcmp(games[i].jog1, eq[0].jogadores[j].nome) == 0)
      {
        eq[0].jogadores[j].rating = eq[0].jogadores[j].rating + 0.3;
      }
      if (strcmp(games[i].jog1, eq[1].jogadores[j].nome) == 0)
      {
        eq[1].jogadores[j].rating = eq[1].jogadores[j].rating - 0.2;
      }
    }
  }

}

Thanks in advance.

In char *ptrw = &games[0].equipa1;, games[0].equipa1 is an array of 10 char, so &games[0].equipa1 is a pointer to an array of 10 char, which is a different thing from a pointer to a char. Likely you want char *ptrw = games[0].equipa1;.

Similarly, games[0].venc = &games[0].equipa1; should be games[0].venc = games[0].equipa1;.
