Important Updates
Election Day Reschedules
A large majority of schools will be using esports labs as a voting location on 11/5/24 for Election Day. Any matches taking place on Tuesday 11/5/2024 will now take place on Monday 11/4/24. Coaches are encouraged to work together to find a time that works best for both on this day.
Console Updates
Starting Fall ‘24, console competition will occur on either the Nintendo Switch system (Nintendo leagues), or the PlayStation 5, unless cross-play competition is possible. Once finalized, all cross-play capabilities will be shared in in coach notes and added to each title’s respective rulebook.
General Updates
Please check back for changes as new information will be added throughout the season. Season timelines may change for certain esport titles based on any game launches or patch updates.

Important:
Any team that forfeits three (3) or more regular season matches will not be eligible for Playoffs or Championships.
Playoff Start dates & times may vary per league based on factors like bracket size, state league accommodations, broadcast accommodations, or game launch accommodations.
More specific playoff information will be found in PlayVS on your schedule page midway through the Regular Season.
Due to the length of time for playoffs to take place before finals, Playoff matches will occur on different days of the week than the regular season.
Winning teams may also be required to play multiple times in a week as they progress through the Playoffs.
