How BattleScrims works

BattleScrims runs PUBG Mobile scrims end to end: you sign in with Discord, create or join a team, claim a slot in an open scrim, and the room ID and password arrive on Discord shortly before the match. Results are recorded per match and published as a standings table. It is free, and reading the schedule needs no account at all.

1. Sign in with Discord

There is no password to invent and no email to confirm. BattleScrims uses Discord sign-in, because Discord is where scrims are already coordinated — it is how room details reach you and how your team gets its channels. The permissions requested are the minimum: your Discord identity, and permission to add you to the BattleScrims server so those channels can exist.

You can read the scrim schedule, any individual scrim, past results and the recruiting board while signed out. Signing in is what lets you act — register, apply to a team, or receive a room code.

2. Set up your player profile

Your profile is two required fields and one that unlocks competitive play. The required pair is your in-game name and your role — IGL, Assaulter, Support or Sniper — which is what teams filter by when they are recruiting. The third is your PUBG Mobile UID.

Krafton publishes no developer API for PUBG Mobile, so a UID cannot be checked automatically the way a PC account can. You submit your UID with a proof link, and an admin confirms it by hand. Once verified, a badge appears on your profile. Every UID and in-game name you have ever claimed is kept on record, which is what makes a banned player returning under a fresh Discord account visible.

3. Create a team, or join one

A team is a name, a short tag and up to six players: four starters and two substitutes. Create one and it gets a private text channel and a private voice channel on the Discord server automatically, visible only to your roster — that happens the moment the team exists, without an admin doing anything.

If you do not have a squad, there are two routes. Mark yourself as looking for a team and you appear to captains browsing for your role, or browse the recruiting board and apply to teams with an open slot. Invitations and applications both land in an inbox, and either side can accept or decline.

4. Claim a slot in a scrim

Every scrim has a fixed number of slots — commonly 25 squads in one lobby, and more when it runs several lobbies in parallel. Registration is first come, first served: your team is placed in the next free slot automatically, filling lobby one before lobby two, and you can see exactly which lobby and slot you hold.

Three conditions have to be met when you register. The scrim must still be open — registration closes when it starts. Your team needs its full complement of starters, because a lobby of incomplete squads is not a scrim. And unless the admin has switched the requirement off for that scrim, every starter must be PUBG-verified. Plans change, so a team can withdraw at any time before the start, and the slot immediately goes back to the pool.

5. Get the room ID and password

Room details are hidden until a reveal time the admin sets, then released to registered teams only — typically a few minutes before start. Publishing them earlier is how a lobby gets crashed by players who never booked a slot, so the delay is deliberate.

At the reveal, the credentials appear on the scrim page for teams that hold a slot, and are delivered on Discord as well, so nobody has to sit refreshing a browser. A team that registers after the reveal time still receives them — delivery is tracked per registration, not once per scrim.

6. Play, then read the standings

Join the room on your slot, and play the session's matches. Admins record each team's placement and kills per match, and the standings table updates from those results: placement points on the standard PUBG Esports table, one point per elimination, ranked by total points with kills and best placement as tie-breakers. The rules page has the full table.

Standings pages are public and stay public. Anyone can read what a scrim produced without an account, which means your team's record is something you can link to — in a recruitment post, in an application to a closed lobby, or to an organisation looking at you.

What it costs

Nothing. There is no entry fee, no subscription and no paid tier. You need a Discord account, a PUBG Mobile account and four players. If something is unclear, the FAQ covers the questions that come up most, and the Discord server is the fastest way to reach an admin.
