What School Esports is
School Esports is a tournament management platform for school esports leagues and competitions. It provides team registration, match scheduling and chat, score submission, standings, and school leaderboards. Organisers also have a teacher control panel, referee panel, rescheduling, integrity tools, analytics, tournament billing, and a dedicated mobile app. Teachers approve teams and students, and match messages are visible to teachers, coaches, and referees. Organisers can use their own branding, domain, and sponsor slots, and connect Stripe to collect tournament entry fees by credit card or purchase order. The platform runs on Android, iOS, and the web and supports league competitions with team management and payment collection. The League platform plan costs $499, paid once: a one-time setup followed by free access for life, with a 15% share on entry fees; free-to-enter tournaments are not allowed. The homepage also says “Free for first 5 customers.” Students aged 13 and over may create accounts; teachers may register younger students using limited roster information where permitted. Student email addresses and last names are private from opponents, whose rosters show first names and in-game usernames.
