What are the PlayVS Scholastic Events?
Scholastic Events aims to give our High School community additional opportunities to participate in esports competitions on behalf of their school. These events vary from season to season and may include current and brand-new titles for the PlayVS platform.
The Fall 2024 Scholastic Events will start with a qualifying round via the PlayVS Match Queue and then transition into a single-elimination tournament bracket. We are excited to offer an alternative format for Rocket League, Duos, and introduce a highly-anticipated title in College Football 25!
