First I would like for a way to be able to retract Quick Friendly Scrimmages:

A few times I have had the unfortunate oversight of "scheduling" a Quick Friendly Scrimmage, only to realize it is for the next day.

Couldn't there be some way that quick scrimmages, or at least the ones that are for the following day can be retracted?

Possible way to achieve this could be to have a 5 min delay or buffer after scheduling the scrimmage, that was later become scheduled after such time. This would give the ability to retract it and not affect others that are wanting to schedule games at that time but can't because someone has already done so for that time (then retracts it 4 mins before it is scheduled to commence).

Also, couldn't there be some sort of option to only show teams that are available to scrimmage on the same day to avoid confusion that comes from teams that are not essentially "quick friendlies"?

Now, as for the options here are a few:

OPTIONS
1. Team List - Create a team bank for teams that are allowed to schedule scrimmages against your team. This would be an option that would have exclusive quick friendlies, but if not selected, the open format would still be in effect.

2. Date and Time of Availability - Have a way to show which teams are available and what day and times they are available, instead of having to wade through each team after seeing some are only available for the following day.

3. Preset Tactics Per Team - As mentioned in #1, have preset tactics that can be set for each team in your "Team List" (might want to try different things against different teams, but not around to change them before the game is played)

4. Add yours here... there are more, I just cannot think of them at the moment.

Feel free to add to this list and I will update it as they come

Thanks

I asked for the ability to retract when they first rolled em out, with the same short timer limitation. I was flamed mercilessly. May your request fare better.

And yes, the whole point of a quick scrim is to feed the inner ADHD need for instant gratification. There should be something in the scrimming list that tells you they won't be tomorrow (or that lets you filter by date and or time), or at least that makes the day and time more prominent (some of us have tired eyes from Mr Gore's Evil Internet Machine and the Ogre BBS's that preceded it), especially if its not the same day.

Team List is a new idea. Not sure I would use it, but I can see where it would be useful.

I would add

Average Player Value and Effective Level filters to both searching and who you want to accept quick scrims from. If you are really trying to put 8 scrims a day in to test stuff out having a lower quality team tie up a game can be a bother. (Not that I am complaining I usually test over my team level).

And or have the APV and EL on the team listing, maybe roster size too.
