I am the only one from my school so this is just me pitching an idea but since there is only a few people per school could we just organize teams much like a draft. That way we would all be around the same age group and be able to schedual better times together to play. Kinda like a mini clan. I would like to meet some of the other players out there also

I agree with trowa, Including me, there is only one other person who is good at sc2, some others that play but have other obligations, and probably plenty in the bronze leagues. It would be better to make this sort of a mini-clan with scrimmage matches or something like that instead of each school. Or allow people like me to join someone else's "school clan"

Dyno.

start a club

i don't think it would be a good idea for a high schooler to create a club about video games
#1 most school clubs need a teacher to sponsor the club
#2 not good for your social popularity if you care about it

I have two or three people from my school that could do this, but one is a three sport varsity athelete and the other is a guy who's in like 5 AP classes.

OH WELL, MAYBE NEXT TIME

Anyone who goes to Hunter College HS in New York, contact me. I know we can get a team together, but gotta find people!

Yeah I really like this idea as well, or have a couple of teams reserved for freelance players?

The usual team consists of 5 playersI really like trowa and fusion's ideas as well, as from what I've seen from the posts there aren't enough people from each school to make a team. I just wish I knew how to make a website so I could make a forum or chat program of some kind. Hint to anyone who knows how to do that

Also, my own school will be having a little scrimmage tournament tomorrow at 3ish. I'll be streaming the games I can to livestream.com/umbjabaya

Each high school has a lot smaller of a player base than most colleges, so one issue I might predict would be more variation in the skill levels of the top 5 players at any given school than would happen in college, so I would expect if the normal line-up making style is used there would be a bit more uncompetitive one-sided matches than are desired.

A solution would be like what they do on tennis teams or in chess I've seen it, where you seed your own players and your 1 plays their 1, your 2 plays their 2, etc., and they should follow the general skill levels of your team in spirit.

LMAO My school has like at least 20 people or more who play starcraft. Then again, like 90% of my school population is asian, so maybe it's a given. I'll check if anyone is involved.

Wow I wish there was stuff like this when I was in high school a few years ago, or maybe I was just never aware of these leagues.

By the way, any times I state for tournaments should be assumed to be in Pacific time, so if you want to watch my school have their scrimmage, it's 3:00 pm PST
