After three weeks and dozens of applications we have finalized Clarity Academy’s inaugural class. Over the next three weeks, these 59 players will be competing for a chance to secure a spot on the final Academy Roster.
With the first recruitment tournament behind us, we have 4 of the 12 players seeded into the final 16 man recruitment tournament. The other 8 will be decided by the top 4 placing players in the second and third recruitment tournaments being held Friday 3/29 - Saturday 3/30 & Friday 4/5 - Saturday 4/6. The final 4 players will be chosen by the Clarity Staff to make 16 for the final recruitment tournament.
The 16 players will compete for the 8 spots on the final Academy Roster. The top 4 placing players will be guaranteed acceptance into the academy in addition to 4 staff picks.
Note: These are closed tournaments, we are no longer accepting applicants for this recruitment phase. If you’re interested in applying for future consideration into the Academy you may find more details HERE.
