rules AND  REGiSTRATION 

The time has finally come. Get ready for the top of Fenworks competition with all the schools in your state! Browse this page for all the information you'll need to know regarding your state tournament.

Registration

Registration will begin on Friday, March 22, at 8:00 am at Club 71. Club 71 will open to the general public at 9:30 am. We will have tables at the entrance to register students and teams. Opening ceremonies will begin at 10:00 am.

We will have a bag for each student participant at the registration table with a jersey, name tag, and some fun swag!

Equipment

Fenworks and South Dakota State will provide the computer setup for all players. This setup includes a computer, mouse, mousepad, keyboard, and headset. 

Fenworks allows and strongly suggests players bring their personal peripherals so they feel more comfortable playing.   This extends to mice, keyboards, controllers, and headsets. Players should not bring monitors or consoles. It is strongly suggested that you bring your own controller if you require a controller. Please ensure you have the correct connecter to be used on a PC and that the controller is compatible with a PC. If a player brings a controller, ensure the controller's cord is also brought as Bluetooth is not guaranteed to work. 

For all equipment a student brings, they should be ready to set up their equipment promptly. They cannot download hardware/drivers/etc. All outside equipment will be inspected by Fenworks staff before use in tournament play. Please be prepared to use the supplied equipment if personal equipment doesn't work.
