Scrims
Scrims are the core feature of Parsertime. By uploading your map logs, you can see how your team performed in each scrim. You can also see how you performed individually, and compare your stats to other players.
Creating a Scrim
Please see the Introduction for instructions on how to collect logs.
To create a scrim, click the "Create Scrim" button. You will be prompted to upload the logs for the first map of the scrim.

Adding Maps to a Scrim
After you've uploaded your first map, you can add more maps to the scrim by dragging and dropping the logs onto the "Add Map" card or by choosing a file.

Sharing Scrims
There are two ways to share a scrim. If you have added the scrim to your team during the scrim creation process, the scrim will be visible to all members of the team. If you have not added the scrim to your team, you can make the scrim publically available by clicking the "Edit" button and toggling on "Enable Guest Mode". This will allow anyone with the link to view the scrim.
Steps to make a scrim public:
-
Click the "Edit" button on the scrim.
The edit button on the scrim view. -
Toggle on "Enable Guest Mode".
The edit scrim dialog with the "Enable Guest Mode" toggled on. -
Click "Update Scrim" to save your changes.
Editing Scrims
You can edit a scrim by clicking the "Edit" button on the scrim view. This will allow you to change the scrim's name, re-assign the scrim to a team, enable guest mode, delete maps, or delete the scrim entirely.

You can change the name of the scrim by adding a new name in the "Display Name" field. This is how the scrim will be displayed on the dashboard. Once your changes are made, click "Update Scrim" to save your changes.
Re-assigning a Scrim to a Team
To re-assign a scrim to a new team, click the "Team" selector and select the team from the menu that you want to assign the scrim to. Once you have selected the team, click "Update Scrim" to save your changes.

Deleting a map is permanent and cannot be undone. Please be sure you want to delete the map before confirming the deletion. We recommend keeping a backup of the log files in case you need to re-upload the map.
Deleting Scrims
To delete a scrim, navigate to the scrim view and click the "Edit" button. This will open the edit scrim page. Click the "Delete Scrim" button to delete the scrim. This will open a dialog asking you to confirm the deletion. To avoid accidental deletions, you will need to type the name of the scrim to confirm the deletion. Once you have confirmed the deletion, the scrim will be removed from the database and will no longer be accessible.

Deleting a scrim is permanent and cannot be undone. Please be sure you want to delete the scrim before confirming the deletion. If you are unsure, you can make the scrim private by disabling guest mode.
Once you have deleted the scrim, it will no longer be visible on the dashboard or to anyone who has the link. If you have shared the scrim with your team, the scrim will be removed from the team's dashboard as well. You will be redirected to the dashboard after the scrim is deleted.
It is highly recommended to keep the logs for all of your scrims. If you delete a scrim, the logs will be removed from the database and will no longer be accessible. The logs are measured in kilobytes and should not take up much space on your computer. For this reason, it is recommended to organize and store your logs in a safe place. If you need to delete a scrim, you can always re-upload the logs to create a new scrim.
