We recommend students self-organise by having a captain join the NZ Esports School Discord (A communication platform used for esports) and adding the opposing team inside their games. Students can either play from home or from a provided space at the school.
Schools are responsible for ensuring teams show-up or we have notice in advance of a team forfeiting their game for the week. If any school is an unreported no-show for more than 2 weeks in a row, they will be removed from the tournament and fined.
Games official start time will be 4.15pm on the day of competition. This is to allow for teams who are playing from school, as well as give students who play from home a chance to get home in time. Official competition days can be found on each leagues information page. Games may be rescheduled within 48 hours if both teams agree.
