How to Host PUBG Scrims in 2025 - Complete Setup Guide

What Are PUBG Scrims?

Scrims (scrimmages) are practice matches between competitive PUBG teams. Unlike ranked matches, scrims allow teams to practice strategies, rotations, and coordination against other serious teams in a controlled environment.

Hosting scrims is an excellent way to build a PUBG community, help teams improve, and even generate revenue through entry fees or sponsorships.

Step 1: Create a Custom Room

Step 2: Set Up Point System (PMGC Standard)

Use the official 10-point system used in PMGC and all major PUBG tournaments:

Example: 1st place with 12 kills = 10 + 12 = 22 points

Step 3: Manage Teams & Registration

For professional scrims, you need a system to:

• Register teams with player IDs
• Track attendance and substitutes
• Communicate room codes securely
• Collect entry fees (if applicable)

Step 4: Track Scores & Standings

After each match, you need to record:

• Final placement for each team
• Kill count per team
• Calculate total points (placement + kills)
• Update cumulative standings

For multi-match scrims, maintain a leaderboard showing total points across all games.

Step 5: Stream with OBS Overlays

Professional scrims often include streaming. You'll need:

• Live standings overlay showing current points
• Kill feed overlay for eliminations
• Team logos and branding
• Match timer and game number
