# How a scrim moves

> Booking is a sequence, and each stage is triggered by one specific action.

Every scrim gets its own private thread, a confirmed detail card, and a public
announcement — kept in sync automatically. No more chasing details across DMs.

Booking is a sequence, and each stage is triggered by one specific action. Once
you know which action moves a scrim forward, the whole bot follows.

<Steps>
  <Step title="A member presses a team button" icon="hand-pointer">
    On the scrim panel — **FSC Scrim**, **MSC Scrim**, or **Co-Ed Scrim**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="The bot opens a private thread" icon="comments">
    With them, and pings that team's leads.
  </Step>

  <Step title="A lead confirms the details" icon="pen">
    `/setscrim` — date, opponent, mode, rules.
  </Step>

  <Step title="A lead publishes it" icon="megaphone">
    `/scrimschedule` — a card appears in the schedule channel.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Optionally, signups open" icon="user-plus">
    `/scrimsignup post` — players claim roster spots themselves.
  </Step>

  <Step title="It gets played" icon="flag-checkered">
    One button marks it Complete.
  </Step>
