Here at Hi-Rez Studios, we've always been huge advocates for community growth and engagement -- and we pride ourselves on assisting communities of all sizes across the world. One manner in which we're able to do this is by providing our community tournaments with in-game rewards and (in some cases) promotional opportunities.
If you're a current community tournament organizer, or are looking to start organizing community tournaments for Paladins on any platform, this quick how-to guide will let you know what steps you need to take to be eligible for in-game prizing and more!
What Is A Community Tournament?
It's pretty simple! A community tournament is any tournament that's run by someone in our community -- that is, someone who is not affiliated with Hi-Rez Studios as an employee. Whether you're a large community with hundreds or thousands of members, an in-game clan, or a smaller group of friends who just want to have some competitive fun, community tournaments are a great resource!
If you're an aspiring administrator, broadcaster, commentator, or etc, community tournaments are where you can get hands-on competitive experience for Paladins.
How to Apply for Paladins Community Tournament Prizes
Applying for community tournament prizes is a simple process! Just follow the steps below and you'll be well on your way to getting prizes for your competitive series.
Step 1: Review our Funding Requirements
Before you start working on your formal application, you'll need to make sure you read and understand our latest Community Tournament License, and Community Tournament Funding Requirements. We pride ourselves in the quality of the community tournaments that we assist with in-game prizes -- and in order to maintain this, we ask that current and prospective community tournament organizers all follow the requirements in the documentation above to ensure this quality is maintained.
Step 2: Submit an Application
After you’ve familiarized yourself with our community tournament funding requirements, you’ll need to send us an application which includes a written proposal for your tournament or tournament series.
