There's a healthy discussion here at TG on teamspeak and in the nooks and crannies of forums about who we want to scrim with based on their preferred gameplay and how we will respond to it.

It would seem the one thing we can all agree on obviously is that we all like TG gameplay the most and wish we could play a match as coordinated as a scrim on those rules. The public server is great but it's just not up to the level of play encountered in scrims.

To that end I think there is much more room for internal scrimming at TG. I think this will be the best source of both the style of play we all enjoy as well as a level of coordination we don't see in our public server play.

But the problem seems to be that most internal squads can't muster 32 player teams. Or that it is too tough to herd the TG rabble into all being able to make the same night. So I have an idea.

THE TACTICAL GAMER SCRIM LEAGUE

Each week(or more often) we have a 32 v. 32 match. On a rotating basis different squads are paired with each other. This week 42nd, 1st MIP and 4th vs. 1337th, 7th, and 2nd. Next week it's all mixed again with different squads fighting together on a team. Like the 42nd, 2nd, and 7th versus 4th, 1337th and 1st MIP.

All the squads that make up the winning team all get a win on their record. We track the squads' records individually in this way and at the end of, say, 10 weeks, we have the playoffs or something. If people are interested, we could even have some stuff for fun like a 16 v 16 All-Star game(with 32 spectators BattleRecorded) or 16 v 16 tourney for the wild card slot in the playoffs for the teams that don't make them.

I'd suggest we have the league scrims on rotating nights of the week to ensure that all TGers are able to participate. This will also allow all the players of single internal squad to rotate through their allotted portion of slots on a team each week. This will help the larger squads that have more members than their slice of the team can accommodate.

This post is long enough already but realize that this leaves room for a concurrent CO league in which COs float above the squad structure as a separate caste and we tally each CO's wins and losses as well. The league would allow for 20 CO appearances if scored by match. Might be an elegant solution to the dilemma of who COs what matches.

I think we could have a lot of fun with this sort of thing. TG fun. Leave the bunny-hopping scrim teams to their own devices.

Sound off with your comments or suggestions. Be nice to hear what the various internal squad leaders think about this and if their squad would be interested.
