P-REC is a useful plugin, it is used for easy and automatic demo recording in Team Fortress 2, it automatically starts recording demos when tournament mode is activated, but the settings allow for a great customization of the plugin according to the player needs. It also has a auto-screenshot feature that screenshots the final map score and the console status, this is particularly useful for European players due to how [[ETF2L]] system works for submitting results, which require map and status screens.

The plugin can detect getting a certain number of kills during a set period of time, taking into account deaths. The plugin can also log player markers, by use of the console command "prec_mark". These print to a text file that is created alongside the demo from the same game. Marks contain the game tick at the time that the marker is created.
