The first of the three lines for each squad is the five players to play on the squad, listed in order of C, PF, SF, SG, PG. (Note: any player can be listed to play any position, as in a normal game.) The second line lists the nine coaching settings, as in the SITS lines of the template command. Since the five players for each side are set, there is no need for a secondary defense. Finally, the last of the three lines for each squad lists the matchups it plays when on defense, as per the MATCH line of the template command. Matchups must be listed by player ID number, rather than position, once again because all five players are predetermined. If you want no matchups (or default matchups), this third line should be left blank.

An optional line at the end can be inserted for offseason scrimmaging. The format is "Stats #", where # can be 1 to add the scrimmage stats to the player's stats or 2 to set the player's stats equal to his scrimmage stats.

The scrimmage will run until either one of the players sustains an injury or until the time has expired. Once a scrimmage has been run, another may not run until a game day has gone by (whether or not your team actually played) unless during the offseason or during college selection week, in which case 10 may be run.

The syntax is identical, except that the lines with the five player ID numbers are deleted. Matchups are specified with positions (C, PF, etc.) rather than the IDs.
