NEW ADDITIONS
NEW!
This fall, the Super Smash Bros.™ Ultimate, Mario Kart™ 8 Deluxe, and Splatoon™ 3 games will formally join our competitive offerings for middle schools this spring season. These additions to our ever-expanding library of titles elevate the possibilities for students to learn and compete in environments dedicated to providing constructive, family-friendly gaming events to help build positive gaming communities within the scholastic environment.
NEW!
TWICE AS MANY WINNERS!
All MSEL competitions will now incorporate divisional play with two conferences, meaning there will be twice as many winners! Schools with either the Eastern or Central time zones will compete in the Atlantic division, while schools in the Mountain, Pacific, Alaska, and Hawaiian time zones will compete in the Pacific division!
