We haven't scrimmed in about a week. The reason for that is because I didn't think enough of us were ready to practice as a team, and instead needed to focus on individual practicing. So heres the plan, scrimming will be determined by how many gathers you play in a week. The players in tf2.gather.us are the kind of people we will have to beat in scrims. If you can't hang in a gather then you can't hang on a team. However that doesn't mean you should give up. It takes about 50+ gathers before you stop bottom fragging in gathers, so give it a chance it WILL build you up.

Anyway, back to the plan. Those players that have a "+" next to their name in the tf2.gather.us channel on irc (awarded after 5 gathers in a week have been played) will get to scrim. If there is a tie for a position, the current week's and the all time gather count will be taken into consideration. The gather bot records these pieces of data. Sign up for the #tf2.gather.us channel on gather-network.eu. If you need Help follow these directions or message kormak:
