Hey Casperr,

The site looks really good, from the link above. The only suggestion I would add would be to add the UGC skill divisions (for NA at least), because a lot of NA teams in UGC wouldn't be able to compare themselves to an'Open' skill level, even low open. I wouldn't say you would need the 'High/Mid/Low' just adding 'Iron/Steel/Silver/Gold/Plat' would probably suffice. Thanks for making this again.

Please everyone ignore index2.php IT'S SUPER OLD AND NOT MEANT TO LOOK GOOD xD

As for divisions, I will probably add a "league" drop down where you can pick UGC, ESEA or ETF2L which should cover most of the bases. Content in the "division" drop down will change accordingly.

Also there's some debate over tf2mix.com vs tf2scrim.com so I've set up a tiny survey on the homepage and would love people to select the URL they prefer. You have to log in through Steam so I can stop people voting twice. If you're skeptical, just check the URL you are on after "sign in through Steam" and rest assured, all that get's returned to me is your Steam ID and a confirmation you are who you say you are.

Thanks again for all the supportive comments and feedback :)

DougFor Europeans, mix = scrim? When I spent 2 months in Europe I thought mix = pugteam :(

Meanwhile in South America, scrim = training, pug = mix and pugteam = fake.

In EU I think there are 4 distinctions.

PCW/Scrim: a team

mix: get 6 randoms together on your own

doublemix: get 12 randoms together and pick teams

pug/pickup: irc/website that puts 12 players together to play a match.

I honestly don't speak to enough americans about tf2 but from what I've heard you guys don't really differentiate between our mixes and our pugs?

For NA it's more like this:

Scrim: Teams, outside of a league

Mix/pug: 12 people, captains pick teams, through irc

Inhouse pug: Same as above, not through irc

Pugscrim: Get 6 people, play against actual teams

Mix and pug often refer to #tf2mix and #tf2.pug.na respectively, mix is used exclusively for the irc.

ew what is that
That is a very old (in fact, original) style draft with next to no functionality. I can see from the cache files that you found my actual production page so why post the old one which is clearly different to the video? :/

I found it interesting that an old site layout was still there. I also didn't want to post a link to the production page in case you found that rude and intrusive. It's not hard to figure out the URL, sure, but I don't want to help people by leading them straight to it. There's a reason it's not public yet.

S'all looking good though man. Well done.

Hey,

I'm not sure if anyone is watching this thread, but just in case here is a small development update on what I've added to the site over the last week.

Mainly:

"League" selector which gives access to better variety of divs
Auto connect to server
Probable change to tf2scrim.com
Some other small updates

If you know the American divs better than I do (which you probably do) please feel free to correct what I have on the site!

Extended version in commentary/demonstration form:

casperrI'm not sure if anyone is watching this thread

You posting here is 100x better than posting on a steam group for example, since most of the competitive scene all over the world is browsing this site.

You should probably stick to tf2scrim just because tf2mix is sort of taken already, being a big pug system over in NA.

The site looks great so far, you should probably add CEVO as one of the leagues there aswell, which the divisions there are:
CEVO-Professional
CEVO-Main
CEVO-Open

Keep up the good work casperr, thank you for doing this.

edit: Also, are you considering making this available for Australians, South-Americans, Asians?, I don't think it's fair EU and NA get all the fun to themselves :).

Thanks for the kind words and suggestions! I'm almost definitely making the change to tf2scrim.com. Unfortunately Steam doesn't let you change group names, but that's not a major issue.

And thanks for letting me know the CEVO divs, I'll add those tonight!

And yes its world wide. I've only referred to EU and NA so far as examples, but the site is accessible from anywhere and there is already SA, Asia, Africa and Aus options in region. If those continents have different tournaments with different leagues then anyone who knows those please let me know, but I'm sure I can find them with a little googling

Maybe you could assign custom levels to div names server side, like ETF2L's Division's 6 and 5 would be 3 like CEVO-Open or something to match teams from different competitions.

EDIT: On a second thought Americans and European will probably be better off playing with other people from their continent.

Hey everyone, tf2scrim.com is now live in open beta so please check it out and feel free to spread the word. Any suggestions or issues please let me know ideally in the Steam group but here or directly to me is fine too.

Also, a very kind player named Cherry had the domain scrim.tf and has kindly donated it to this site! So there is a vote on the site over tf2scrim.com vs scrim.tf so please let me know your thoughts on that too and we may end up changing the domain again, but this would definitely be the last! xD haha

Thanks :)

There's no way to keep both? I think I'd prefer tf2scrim.com as it keeps the similarities between all the tf2 sites, tf2center.com, tf2pickup.net, tf2lobby.com, atf2.org. I don't know any tf2 sites that end in .tf

Just in case anyone wonders what's going on - some of the dark side of the community exploited the site and managed to post scrims as other people. Fairly clear what the exploit was which has now been undone and plugged up so it can't happen again. While I recognise it was a security hole, it definitely disappoints and upsets me that people in the TF2 "community", using a service for that community, find it more fulfilling to abuse weaknesses rather than help to fix them.

On the plus side, a fair few people who DO want to help have been pitching and doing a great service so faith is not entirely lost!

Please enjoy a Google sourced picture of an iron until I get home from work tomorrow (6pm BST) and can push the fixes live. Future scrims is >50% done so that should be coming soon too :)

As ever, please let me know your thoughts on anything!
