Hi James,


Thanks again for the chat this afternoon. As promised, here is a summary 
of the specifics around the eSports competitions that we’d like to 
pilot. Please know that these details are flexible and we are interested 
in working with you to determine how we go about delivering these to UWA 
students.

*Our aim:*

To deliver some social, fun and inclusive competitions across a variety 
of eSports to UWA students and its broader community. This will provide 
students with social activities to participate in while isolated at 
home, supporting positive health and wellbeing. In addition, UniSport 
are looking to organise National eSport competitions for universities, 
and our UWA social competitions can potentially be a pathway for 
athletes to be identified for our UWA regional/national teams in the future.

*What eSports:*
Initially, we were looking at the four below games, as we thought they 
would provide a variety of options for students/community members to 
participate in.

-FIFA 20

-NBA 2K20

-Rocket League

-Super Smash

*When: *

We would like to pilot the competitions in May/June this year. However, 
specific start/end dates as well as duration of the competitions are 
still being determined.

*Competition specifics: *(What we’ve worked out so far…)**

-Free for anyone to join, who has the correct console and 
membership/access to game/s

-UWA Sport are able to use our sport management system to take 
registrations for all the competitions

-Setup and promotion of competitions – UWA Sport can lead the creation 
of promotional content and information that can then be shared with all 
members/stakeholders/students

-Competition incentives/prizes – UWA Sport can lead, details TBC.

*We are seeking expertise on the following:*

-Advice/feedback on competition rules and tournament setting for each 
game (i.e. timings for games, difficulty levels, game styles, modes, 
etc, competition point system, etc)

-Setup and management of tournaments on each game (i.e. knock-out 
competition set on game or alternative arrangement). This includes 
working out the specifics on cross-platform settings and/or 
specific-console tournament requirements.

In relation to the above two points, we were hoping the Club or specific 
members could assist us with these. The commitment is flexible, but I 
imagine it would be 1-2 hours a week for each competition. It could be 
one person or multiple people involved, depending on their knowledge on 
the game/s. i.e. one person could lead each competition or if someone is 
knowledgeable across all these games they could be involved in as many 
as they want.

I hope the above summary provides enough information for you to share 
with the Club and your members. We are really hoping to progress 
planning around the competitions next week, and would be interested in 
drawing upon the Clubs expertise/knowledge around this time as well. I 
do hope that there is interest to work together on these, as they will 
be a great initiative to provide to UWA students. If all goes well, we 
hope to continue to deliver eSport competitions from here on out.

If you have any further queries, please don’t hesitate to contact me. My 
direct number is 0414 947 234.

Regards,
