2020 FALL SEASON
The importance of offering esports to as many students as we can has only increased with COVID. That means we have to do whatever we can to ensure that anybody, in any school who wants to play can do so. Therefore, we’ve made the decision to push the registration deadline back two weeks, to October 16 to give schools more time to get set up for the season. Mid-October is consistent with when we have started prior seasons.
Our aim is to accommodate the varied needs of schools as they deal with reopening during COVID, navigating athletics and extracurriculars, and organizational approvals. This new deadline will now add two additional weeks of preseason matches, the season will still comprise the same number of regular season matches — with playoffs and championships wrapping up before winter break.
