FAQ

How can I join a team?

Joining a team can vary between the different games. The most standard way is at the beginning of the year we host tryouts for each competitive team, the team captains and players will help draft a team based out of the people who showed up to try out and fill positions on teams and creating new ones if there is enough interest.

Can teams be joined year round?

Teams can theoretically be joined year-round. Spots on teams don't open up too often as the year progresses; so, the best time to get involved is early on in the year. But that does not mean you are not able to join a team if you did not make tryouts, things happen and teams will inevitably need subs to play, the best thing to do is to join the specific team's Discord and advertise yourself as a free agent who wants to play. That would be the best way to find a spot on a team if the season has already started and you want to play for a team.

How do I start a new team?

If you don't see a game you're interested in competing in, we encourage you to start one. Reach out to our Director of Competition via Discord (ibm) to discuss interest, requirements and next steps.
