Prospects apply themselves, staff score them independently, and a passing tryout becomes a trial with a real review date. Each stage is moved by one specific action.

The pipeline

A prospect applies

/tryout apply — no form to chase, no DMs to collate.

Staff work the queue

/tryout queue shows what’s open. /tryout schedule sets a time.

Each evaluator scores

/tryout evaluate — independently, without seeing anyone else’s numbers first.

A decision gets made

/tryout decide passes, waitlists, or declines — once enough evaluations are in.

A pass starts a trial

They land on the trial tier and the clock starts.

A human closes it out

On the review date, /tryout trial passes, extends, or ends it.
Applications can also end at waitlisted, declined, or withdrawn at any point before a decision.

Scoring

/tryout evaluate opens a form asking for one score per criterion, plus a recommendation and private notes. The default rubric is mechanical skill, communication, game sense, adaptability, chemistry, and reliability — each out of 10.
Enter scores in the order the form lists them, space separated: 9 8 9 8 9 9. The form’s placeholder shows the order for your division, since the rubric is configurable.
Every evaluator’s scores are kept separately. Averages are worked out when you look, so you can always see who said what rather than a number nobody can trace back.Re-running the command replaces your own scores and touches nobody else’s.

Trials

A trial has a review date. When it arrives, the bot posts a reminder in the staff channel. That is all it does.
Nothing is promoted or cut because a timer ran out. /tryout trial is how a decision gets made — and extend is a legitimate answer when you need more to go on.

pass

Promotes them to the division’s configured destination tier.

extend

Pushes the review date out. Say how many days.

fail

Ends the trial. Profile and history are preserved.

Tuning it per division

/tryout config sets how many evaluations a decision needs, how long a trial runs, which tier trials sit on, and which tier a passing trial graduates into.

What applicants can see

/tryout mine shows a prospect their status and, eventually, their outcome — passed, waitlisted, or declined.Scores, notes, and the reasoning behind a decline stay in staff channels. That means evaluators can be blunt in writing without it ever becoming a conversation.
