i guess you could tell people to run their in-house mixes on mixchamp since its nearly empty most of the time anyway, but they might aswell do it on pugchamp in slow hours
whats the difference with mixchamp anyway? does it autobalance teams or something like that?

wolsneNickzzzzzikaTried to play it 4 times, wouldn't get picked lmaomixchamp isn't draft pick tho...

Mixchamp is now draft pick as long as there are captains added:

PhantomSome changes from how it used to be:
- If the role and player conditions are met for a pug and there's no captains, it will be picked automatically as it was before. If there are 2 captains, it will be picked pugchamp style.

wolsnethe whole purpose of mixchamp was for the service to be equal opportunity for people to be chosen at random, why add a captaining system?

if pugchamp is so bad good why isnt there a pugchamp 2

Recently I've been thinking that a big reason for services like this going underused might be because there is no way to notify the pool of potential players that a pug/lobby is looking for players.
TF2Stadium tries to solve this problem by having a bunch of discord channels you can unmute to be notified of new lobbies/almost ready lobbies of the desired game type.
But I feel like few people are aware of this/use it.

I think a chat-bot integration could be much more successful at notifying a pool of potential players, imagine unmuting notifications about desired lobby types for a period of time using simple chat commands, allowing for much more user specificity in the notifications.

A probably much less complicated way of concentrating attempts to use the services might be to just decide on weekdays and specific times, during these times, services could potentially provide match servers to incentivise turning up

TL;DR I think the issue with such services being underused is not a lack of interest/potential users, but coordination among them
