2021 College Championship Selection Committee

College Championship Selection Committee

Over the next month, the RSAA will assemble a panel of experts from the LCS and College LoL ecosystem, including Rioters, analysts, and industry professionals to form the 2021 College LoL Championship Selection Committee. The committee will be composed of a majority of non-Rioters, and overseen by RSAA Operations & Championship Lead J.T. “Tiza” Vandenbree. The committee will include some hand-selected members, as well as an open application process for qualified community members.

Selection Process

The panel will vote in four teams from a pool of competitors who didn’t quite make it out of their conference. Schools will be eligible to receive votes based on their finishing position in their conference playoffs and the number of berths already awarded to their conference as shown in the table below.

Panelists may nominate a school for voting that qualified for their conference playoffs and finished in the top half of their conference, but did not reach the ranks listed above. The nomination must be seconded by another panelist to become official.

Additionally, the committee has the ability to adjust the seeding groups for the final bracket. No school may be placed in a group above a school that finished above them in their conference playoffs.

Selection Committee Applications

If you are interested in being considered for the selection committee, please follow the link below and submit the form no later than Wednesday, March 18 at 12:00pm Pacific Time.
