Introduction

Welcome to the 2024 Fenworks WY Esports State Tournament! First and foremost, we are so grateful to each of you. Without the students, the General Managers, school administrators, schools, parents, and the communities, Fenworks wouldn’t be who we are and do what we love. We are excited to celebrate the hard work and dedication of the teams competing in the state tournament. We hope you have an enjoyable and memorable experience. Check back often for updates!

This event is free to all participants and fans.

Dennis Abernathy – Principal

Principal of Warroad High School
"The amount of money to provide esports through Fenworks is miniscule compared to some of the programs schools already run... Why wouldn’t we want to provide that to another group, especially for the low cost?"

Kain Schow – General Manager

GM for Norman County East
"Fenworks gave an opportunity to those kids who don’t always want to be in football, basketball, baseball—the sports that most high schools have. It’s something different for them."

Cassie Gerhardt – Parent

UND Associate VP
"I know many of the people that work with Fenworks, and I have faith in the individuals who lead Fenworks. I know the type of people they are and how ethical they are. They are running a program that’s not just about video games. That’s the vehicle through which they’re trying to provide an opportunity for students to learn teamwork, collaboration skills, and responsibility."
Bradley Parish Headshot

Bradley Parrish – Parent

"I really noticed it was a way for my kids to show their school spirit and school pride in a way that was along with or instead of traditional sports."
Dr Jill Louters Headshot

Dr. Jill Louters – Principal

"Research suggests that in the next five years, 60% of jobs in the world will require tech skills. So where do you get those skills? Some of that comes through esports, which entails not just the analysis, the cognitive thinking, and technical skill, but also the networking and teamwork that occurs online. These are essential skills!"
Tiffany Schroeer Headshot

Tiffany Schroeer – Executive Director

Empowering Kids Executive Director
"We don't have to understand how esports works and how video games work to know that this is important to them and they're practicing leadership and communication."
Christi Stoll Headshot

Christi Stoll – Fundraising Director

Christi Stoll
"It's not just about playing video games; it's about learning new things, learning about technology, and all of the other things that go along with technology."
