You will develop knowledge about tournament design and tournament operations. You will be given the opportunity to apply competition rules, concepts and theories developed to date and explore how these can be applied to a variety of esports events. You will organise a live esports event to test your tournament handbook and gain experience in managing a competition. You will be asked to document and reflect upon the process of creating a tournament handbook for an event by identifying potential risks and challenges present within esports competitions.
