A scrim day
What the bot does on its own, what teams do, and where you can step in.
The day in order
| Step | What happens |
|---|---|
| Notification | The notification message posts. |
| VIP window | If you set a VIP open time and a VIP role, role holders register first. |
| Registration opens | The registration role gets access to the channel. Teams register until the seats are full, then go on the waitlist. |
| Confirmation | Seated managers press Confirm in their lobby channel. |
| Confirmation closes | Unconfirmed seats are freed. Normal and VIP seats alike. |
| Waitlist | Waitlisted teams register again to claim freed seats. With Automate slots on, the bot swaps them in. |
| Scrim starts | The day ends and the next scheduled day is lined up. |
| Clear | One hour before the next first registration, the run is cleared. See Runs and clearing. |
Registration
Teams register with %register plus a bot mention, or with /register. See the team side on Registering. Each team gets a reaction: ✅ seated, ⏳ waitlisted, 🔁 duplicate, ❓ unreadable, ⏰ too early, 🚫 banned, ⭐ not a VIP.
The order is set by Discord's own time on the message, not by when the bot got round to reading it.
Roles during the day
| Role | Given to | Taken back |
|---|---|---|
| Registration | Whoever you choose, by channel access | When registration closes |
| Lobby captain | Managers of a seated team in that lobby | When they lose the seat (unless another of their teams is seated), and at clear |
| Waitlist | Managers of a team without a seat | When none of their teams is waiting, and at clear |
| Ban | Managers of a banned team | When the ban ends or is lifted |
| VIP | People you grant it to | When the period ends |
Taking control by hand
You can open or close any window outside its schedule. A manual open lasts until the next scheduled close. A manual close lasts until the next scheduled open.
In Discord
While the scrim is on, the dashboard home lists each window as 🟢 open or ⚫ closed, with a countdown when it changes within the hour. Buttons under it read Open registration, Close confirmation and so on.
Under Configure… → Schedule:
- Pause until… skips days until a date you pick.
- Cancel day… closes the rest of today's windows. It only works while today is live.
- Resume day brings a cancelled day back.
On the web dashboard
The Overview tab shows the next day's times in your own time zone and a button for each window. Pause, cancel and resume are on the same tab and on Schedule.
If a scrim day is under way, changes you save to the schedule apply from the next day, which is set up when today's scrim starts.
