# Scrims

> Finding and playing practice matches through the scrim queue.

# Scrims

Scrims are practice matches between teams. The scrim queue handles matchmaking so you don't have to DM other captains.

## Posting a scrim

1. Go to **Scrims** in the sidebar
2. Click **Post Scrim**
3. Choose your available time window
4. Optionally set map preferences and region
5. Wait for another team to accept

## Accepting a scrim

Browse the scrim queue to see available requests from other teams. Click **Accept** on a scrim that fits your schedule.

## After matching

Once both teams are matched:

1. A **match channel** is created in Discord (if enabled on Pro+)
2. Coordinate in the channel — share lobby info, pick maps, etc.
3. Play your match
4. Report the result from the match page

## ELO impact

Scrim results **do** affect ELO, just like tournament matches. This keeps the leaderboard accurate across all competitive activity.
