The point system is a new qualification system unveiled in the 2026 season to make the path to qualification more clear and help develop more even and balanced brackets at State.
Teams will be seeded based on their point totals from the season to provide a more fair and objective metric of their comparative skill level.
The point system will also allow TexSEF to better structure and build the competitive brackets at Staet so your teams like they are given enough time, space and competition to feel like true esports superstars!
TexSEF will be able to set caps for the State championship so we know exactly how many teams qualify for the biggest esports event of the year.
Teams will be put into brackets that have clear competition logic and account for each team's year long performance--ensuring competitive integrity
The whole TexSEF community will have their eyes glued to the bracket week after week to check their qualification status and see who they can expect to see!
On The Corral, leaderboard standings will update based on how many points teams receive at qualifying events (LANs and the online competition). In September, TexSEF will announce the number of state qualifiers we will take in each title. You and your teams goal is to amass enough points to be in that top number of teams across the entire state.
Teams may compete as often as they like--go to as many LANs as possible; play your heart out in the online league. The top 2 scores a team receives will count toward their final standing to qualify for state.
