TOURNAMENTS OVERVIEW
NASEF offers completely free tournaments throughout the school year for Activated NASEF Clubs. Our tournaments provide an opportunity for students to hone their in-game skills, create content around their team, and take up leadership and management roles to help organize and coordinate their fellow students.
All NASEF competitive offerings are free for any activated NASEF student.

Season-Long Tournaments
Our season-long tournaments are free to join for any NASEF-Activated Club. With our main tournaments, we offer game benefits, live-streamed matches with game commentators, full tournament support and grant prizing.
Special Tournaments
NASEF is always looking to engage with partners that can offer grants and equipment to our Clubs. Our partnerships can take the form of special tournaments we create for specific game titles. These special tournaments have shorter seasons compared to our mean season tournaments, but offer a ton of perks for participating Clubs!
Beyond the Game Challenges
Beyond the Game Challenges are where esports Clubs across North America can tap into their talent apart from their competitive teams! Here, students with interests in the different sectors of the Esports Ecosystem (below) can learn new skills, expand their knowledge, and gain real experience in potential future career opportunities.
So, for the student who loves video games and esports - we want to see your passion for esports and your esports club come alive!
