How to participate in State Finals?
Due to the upheavals in 2020 the rules for participation in State Finals have changed for our 2020 Online Event.
- Schools that haven't won a Zone event may still take part in the State Finals, with a maximum of 5 players
- Pick your team! Any players from your school may participate at State Finals, not necessarily the players who played in a Zone event
- More wins in any Zone Event equals more discounts in the 2020 State Finals (table below).
