# Starting a New Scrim

This page details how to start a new scrim.

## The -NewScrim Command:

This command creates an entire new round of scrims, with the specified type.

For example, if you have weekly scrims and you are about to start the first game of the week, you should use the `-NewScrim` command then.

{% hint style="info" %}
You should use this command anytime you are starting another round of scrim games, even if the scrim is the same type as the previous one.

This will ensure that players do not get confused about how many games have been played in the current round of scrims.
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="warning" %}
Do not confuse this with the `-NewGame` command! `-NewScrim` should only be used at the beginning of a new set of scrim games, not between games in the current scrim.
{% endhint %}

### Using -NewScrim:

The `-NewScrim` command has one parameter: the type of scrim.\
Options are:

1. Solo
2. Duo
3. Squads

You just need to write `-NewScrim` followed by the type of scrim you are playing, for example:

```
-NewScrim squad
```
