During a scrim

Room details​

Room details are the lobby credentials: room ID, password, whatever the host adds. They are deliberately restricted: only the captain of a team that holds a slot can see them, and only after the host publishes them.

Hosts either publish immediately or schedule the reveal for a set time, usually a few minutes before start, so the lobby isn't sitting open.

When they go live you get a notification, and you can read them:

  • On the web, on the scrim's page.
  • In Discord, where the bot posts an announcement in the server's bound channel with a Reveal room details button. Clicking it shows them to you privately, and only if you qualify. Everyone else who clicks is told they aren't a slotted captain.

Room details on the scrim page

Room details are shown as copyable fields, which matters on mobile.

If you click Reveal and the host hasn't revealed yet, you'll be told to check back closer to the start time.

The scrim starting​

When the start time arrives, the scrim goes live and slotted captains get a notification:

Your scrim is starting 🎮

The host runs the match itself in-game. Finalist tracks the map and the start/end of play.

Results​

After the scrim completes, the host enters placements and scores, then declares the results. Nothing is visible to you until that moment, so a host working on a draft isn't leaking half-finished standings.

When results are declared, you're notified, and they appear on:

  • the scrim page on the web,
  • /scrim results in Discord,
  • your profile history, and the leaderboards.

Declared results for a scrim

Hosts have a 24-hour window after declaring in which they can still correct results. After that they're locked.

Cancelled scrims​

A host can cancel a scrim any time before it goes live, and everyone registered is notified. Once a scrim is live it can no longer be cancelled. It runs to completion.
