You actually wanted to post this with <> for html, didnt you?
Else this won't work as html code.

Will edit my post later with a link to a help guide, plus a working example.

I forgot it's possible with BBcode, zZz.. checking your example. Give me a minute.

Code:: [table border="1"] ; start the table here [tr] ; first row start [td]Position 1[/td] ; first cell [td]Position 2[/td] ; second cell [td]Position 3[/td] ; " [td]Position 4[/td] [td]Position 5[/td] [td]Position 6[/td] [td]Position 7[/td] [/tr] ; first row end [tr] ; second row start [td]This[/td] [td]seems[/td] [td]to[/td] [td]work[/td] [td]for[/td] [td]me[/td] [td]without[/td] [td]any[/td] [td] problems[/td] [/tr] ; second row end [tr] ; third row start [td]![/td] [/tr] ; third row end [/table] ; close the table here

Position 1	Position 2	Position 3	Position 4	Position 5	Position 6	Position 7
This	seems	to	work	for	me	without	any	problems
!

You can remove the parts starting with ; since they are only comments.

[tr][td] Position Team [/td][td]

No, this isn't correct.
You start a new ROW with [tr] and you end it with [/tr].
You start a new CELL with [td] and you end it with [/td].
With what i quoted, you would create a new row and start a new cell, plus you would start a new cell again with ending it & without ending the row.

Did this help? If not, take a look here: http://www.w3schools.com/html/html_tables.asp
