How does it work?
STAGE 1: SCHOOL HEATS
This is the initial stage of the tournament which takes place in the school or college itself. Schools are encouraged to make this stage as student led as possible. In addition to the players, job descriptions have been developed with industry expertise for schools to implement; enabling teachers to recruit students in a number of Operations & Logistics roles.
STAGE 2: REGIONAL QUALIFIERS
These are the first of the knockout stages, held in various locations across the UK. Each participating school or college will be allocated to their nearest venue by Digital Schoolhouse. Video games industry guests are invited to attend and encouraged to mingle amongst competitors. Each qualifier is streamed live on Twitch and students are invited to shoutcast alongside professionals on the day. At each qualifier, a single team is crowned ‘Regional Champion’ which then goes through to the Grand Final in London. Student casters are also invited to the Grand Final to once again, cast alongside their professional counterparts.
STAGE 3: THE GRAND FINAL
The Grand Final is hosted in London as part of the London Games Festival. Here, the Regional Champions compete for the winning title of Digital Schoolhouse's 'UK Esports Champions'. In attendance are their peers, teachers, parents and industry guests. The day concludes with a prize giving ceremony for the winning team and a special award for the 'Best Shoutcaster'.
