Mayo High School students will get the chance to show off their Clash Royale skills this December in 2 new tournaments that mix friendly competition with a meaningful cause. There will be two tournaments, each with an entry fee of $5.

The start of the event will take place on December 10th during 4th and 5th hour. On December 16th, the top 16 from each tournament will be placed in a bracket and will fight to win the grand prize. 

The first tournament will be Mega Draft, which is a Clash Royale mode where both players take turns drafting cards from the same shared pool, building their decks on the spot. Each choice affects what the other player can pick, so strategy begins before the match even starts.

The second tournament is 1v1 in Clash Royale, which is a regular match where you battle one other player, each using your own deck, and whoever destroys more towers (or the King Tower) before time runs out wins.

Prizes help raise the stakes. Participants will be battling their way through the bracket for gift cards as well as a grand prize for both tournament winners, but the tournaments aren’t only about winning. After all the prizes are handed out, every remaining dollar from the buy-ins will be donated to charity. It’s a simple way to take something people enjoy, gaming, and turn it into something that helps others.

The tournament is open to anyone who wants to play, no experience required. Students can sign up by finding Ian Li in the halls or by stopping into Mr. Johnson’s room (2-124).

With its mix of fun, prizes, and purpose, this Clash Royale tournament is shaping up to be one of the standout events of the season.
