9/21/23 – Kentucky Esports – The Status of League of Legends and Other Titles
League of Legends
With a registration deadline of tomorrow, September 22, and the fall season set to start next Monday — I want to share the status of one of our two longest-standing Esports titles in the state of Kentucky.
League of Legends, along with Rocket League, launched Esports in Kentucky. From our first in-person State Championship at Collins High School back on January 28, 2019, through this spring’s exciting championship at the University of Kentucky, League of Legends has been a staple of Kentucky Esports. It has offered one of the most exciting in-person championships we have — one that has consistently had a number of fans watching the action either in person or via Twitch.
Being 5v5, it offers the highest participation opportunities thus far of any title that we offer (though we do have two titles close at 4v4).
To give a little perspective, enrollment in Super Smash Bros. is outpacing LoL […]
9/19/23- Winter Esports Online Rules Clinic for Coaches Now Available
The mandatory online KHSAA Rules Clinic for the winter sport activity of Esports is now available. I continue to appreciate the support that you’ve given me thus far this school year after I assumed the lead manager role for Esports in our office. This clinic is required of all coaches (varsity, junior varsity, and freshman) whether or not the coach receives pay.
FOR ATHLETIC DIRECTORS
I cannot stress this enough: though your student-athletes and coaches have to be loaded into and be active in PlayVS’ system in order to play the games, they have to be loaded into the KHSAA online roster and coaching databases to be eligible to play the games. So please make certain all of your student-athletes and coaches are loaded into the KHSAA Online Roster System as soon as possible.
FOR COACHES
For member schools, the clinics are located on the School Log-in Page. To access the clinic, go to https://schools.khsaa.org/ and — under the section […]
