Scrim Scheduler

This project was a Discord bot that I programmed to allow myself and fellow team captains in the Purdue Overwatch Club to schedule scrimmages more easily. We typically ping our teams and wait until we have 6 reactions to begin searching for a scrimmage/practice match, but there are a lot of reasons why that is inefficient and tedious. That is why I created this bot that will ping our teams for us and notify the team captains when all 6 players have reacted.

* This project is still a work in progress and all elements may not work as intended when run.
** This preview may not include the full project. All files are uploaded to my GitHub.
