Hi there, I am pleased to notify all of you that Aragon and Carlmont high schools in Bay Area, CA have already started a joint SC2 American high school league. Carlmont's first club meeting was held today and ours will be held tomorrow. Luckily, many students are interested in the game/have purchased it and our membership is expected to grow. We are looking into having our first school vs. school tournament this semester. The school council has already approved these clubs and we have the full support of our advisers.
As for "social status" problems, we have a mix of "popular" and "geeky" students interested in SC2. The local high school community has recognized that gaming is an integral part of the modern youth's lives and ostracizing anyone for gaming is actually looked down on in our school. Our school environment is very gamer friendly, with a variety of other game related clubs already in existence.
We look forward to possibly merging with your CSL sponsored league, however far it has progressed. We are also looking into recruiting additional schools within The Bay.
Btw, I did a quick search for "high school starcraft league" and I ended up at TL. I made my account today so I could post to you guys about this awesome news.

Yah is it? x.x

Yeah, is it? I'm probably the best in my school which is like nothing(around rank 10 plat  ).I only know like 3 other kids who play and only one of them is remotely good, the other guy is a bronze and one can't even play until he gets his computer but he's apparently good at bw.

The Email seems to be non-existant...is there a new one?
|
Any NJ Highschools that will allow a walk on / not in highschool (though highschool age) join the team?
|
Hey everyone, I am very happy to announce that we are having our first inter-school tournament this Saturday at 5 pm PST. Emails will be sent to everyone who has signed up, but to compete in the tournament, you MUST reply to the email saying that you can definitely be there. The reason for this is that the number of applicants we have does not support a regular tournament bracket, so some eliminations would allow the tournament to work. The tournament will be streamed at livestream.com/umbjabaya and possibly at a few others, I will keep you updated.
