Event Details

What is the PlayVS Cup?

The PlayVS Cup is a unique national opportunity for the best of the best to face off in a one-of-a-kind esports tournament. Teams that win state and regional finals are invited to compete in the annual PlayVS Cup tournament.

Since the start of PlayVS, we have been able to give away over $700,000 in scholarship prizes to highlight some of the best esports programs in the nation.

PlayVS will contact all qualifying schools with information on registering their team for the event.

When is the PlayVS Cup?

The PlayVS Cup takes place annually in the spring. We usually schedule the cup in the weeks following the spring season, after AP and finals testing for most schools has concluded.

Eligibility

How do I qualify for the PlayVS Cup event?

Schools qualify for PlayVS Cup by placing first in one full-season league. Even if a school wins both the Fall and Spring leagues, they are only eligible to enroll one team per title in the PlayVS Cup.

If a student from a winning team graduates early, can they still participate in the PlayVS Cup?

Yes, graduating students can participate if they were previously a member of a participating team within one of the scholastic seasons leading up to the PlayVS Cup.
