Makes it kinda hard to convince people that dont like POE to Play Saturday.
I dislike POE myself but i am going to play anyway.
Next time it would be better to switch 1 map POE and 1 map Vanilla/Custom.
GC vs TG: Sign-up Here!

That´s really disappointing. I am out. POE is enough cause for me, to stay out of the battle.

There is ample opportunity for an official Scrim committee to be created.
The people who have opinions about what the scrim should consist of could be part of this committee. The committee should also poll for concensus of what the greater GC community wants to see in a scrim.
Contact with outside groups could then be done in a way that fully addresses the compromises between what each side wants to play.
Since scrims are campaign dependent, all the compromise details could be worked out well in advance, leaving only the date to be agreed upon.
Along the way GC could certainly give the opponent a rough estimate of availability.
Compromises:
Compromise sometimes means a middle answer between what each side wants. Example: 100 ticket versus 150 ticket, compromise might be 125 ticket.
Compromises sometimes means they fully get one thing they want and GC gets fully one thing GC wants. Example: No UCB attacks and no suicide vehicles.
Compromise sometimes may mean conceding an item just to have the scrim.
While GC may easily see GC compromises, the compromises made by the opponent may not be as easily recognized yet are just as important to make the scrim happen.
Once the details between the two communities are agreed upon, GC members should sign up only if they are aware of and agree to abide by the present scrim rule set.
Every single player in the scrim is an ambassador of GC.
Scrims can be an excellent tool to recruit.
Cautionary tale:
I have witnessed scrims where one side fell apart. Players left before the end of the scrim. Some of them made all chat comments expressing their unhappiness. Some of them made negative comments in their forums, post-scrim. Needless to say, I do not think they created any goodwill or peaked any outsider curiosity into joining them. In one case, I had an interest in checking out their group and maybe joining them, but after witnessing their scrim behaviour and reading their post-scrim comments, I have no interest in them.
