HOW TO GET INVOLVED
STEP 1
Register your school's interest here, then share the student interest poster digitally or on noticeboards so students can scan the QR code and express their own interest.
STEP 2
Use student responses to gauge demand in your school and identify which students are interested in taking part. Use this to help create your school's teams in each title.
STEP 3
We'll reach out to guide you through the onboarding process to our tournament platform. No prior esports experience is necessary. We will do all the heavy lifting.
STEP 4
Compete against other schools, earn points, and rise on the national leaderboard! One school will walk away with the School Esports Cup.
Student Interest Poster
Want to see if students in your school are interested before fully committing? Put this poster on school noticeboards or share it internally so students can scan the QR code and register their interest.
This helps schools gauge likely demand and gives our team a clearer picture of potential player numbers when we follow up with you.
