"Get out of here, trader scum." Not so fast! While, truthfully, Scrap.TF doesn't have a ton to do directly with competitive, we do have a few (free of charge) services that the competitive scene can benefit from!

First of all, we have our fundraisers feature. You may have seen fundraisers we created for Ablegamers, the Nepal earthquake, or for Ascent and Froyotech. While they're called "fundraisers," we like to think of them as "tradebots-as-a-service." Just as you might use PayPal to handle accepting money, you could use fundraisers to accept keys. Instead of having players send you keys manually through trade, why not have our bots handle it, and send your servers a message when they've completed the trade?

The expected usage of this is to accept payments for entry into tournaments/cups, and more traditionally, to run fundraisers for TF2 items.

We can also pay you for the keys you receive in order to convert the items into actual cash. Fundraisers are currently invite-only and are not entirely feature-complete (though for these purposes they are). If you're interested in using them, talk to us!


Next, of course, is raffles. You probably all know about our raffles. They can be run by anyone, and the twitch bot can be configured to run on any channel. Simply create a raffle, set it as the active twitch raffle, and the bot will begin promoting it. We're also working on a overlay / nodecg module for raffles as well.

Finally we have polls. These are a hidden feature, so to speak, but they're basically just...polls. The advantage they hold over strawpoll is that all votes are tied to steamids, and people can comment in the polls. Easier vote manipulation prevention.

Anyways, just letting you guys know about these things.
