Scrims made easy!

This group is set to help RSA DotA2 teams to be able to easily organize scrims. Below we've outlined how we see this working. But it's essential we keep this group limited to team captains and team managers (i.e. just 1-2 members from each team that organize games) so that we limit the spam. No one wants 400+ notifications that aren't related at all to organizing scrims between the teams on this group. So please stay on topic. We've also limited the teams here to 1st Div, Prem Div. and Masters. We understand good teams may be in Ladder that want to utilize this and we'll add those captains as/when needed. But for the most part the overall skill gap if we included 2nd Div teams and Ladder teams would be too large, so that's why we're keeping it limited.

Thanks for reading/joining and GOOD LUCK HAVE FUN!

[DISCUSSIONS FORUM]:

Each team captain should make a single post in their discussion forum. The title should be your team name and division you're in (Example: Sin5 All Stars Prem Div). In the body of the post include the usual days of the week and times you are free, or usually scrim (Example: Mon, Weds, Thurs 8pm - 10pm).
Other teams can then come to any teams discussion forum and post their interest for x, y, or z future date for a scrim and/or contact the captain directly. So try to use these discussion forum threads ONLY for the purpose of organizating games in a few days, etc.
NB: Make sure you are subscribed to your own discussion team thread so you 100% know when a team is trying to challenge you to a scrim.

[CHAT]:

For this to work I think it might be useful for team captains to also use this chat. So if your team (or any other team) is frantically looking for a match on the day, or even in an hour etc, you can post in the live chat. Other captains might also be on the chat and can facilitate organizing a match right then and there.
NB: When in chat ensure you activate "Beep when user sends message" and "Show timestamp on each message" from the dropdown menu.

[ADDING OTHER CAPTAINS]:

I would suggest that you all add the other teams captains here (of teams/divisions you're interested in) and then messaging them directly for matches (or use your in game DotA2 client "news feed" as well). The discussion forum will let you see who is the captain for each team and when they generally scrim so you can add the people you're interested in scrimming straight up. A quick message on the discussion forum that you're going to add them might also be useful.
