Azubu Collegiate Champions!

The new global focused league is open to all students currently enrolled in a North American, European, or Asian/SEA undergraduate or graduate programs. Teams must have a minimum of five verified players before entering the league. Players are cleared for participation by supplying an official school email address.

1. Starting October 2nd, team coordinators will create and register their team at www.cstarleague.com.
2. Each student will register an account on www.cstarleague.com AND www.AZUBU.com. We will verify student IDs and AZUBU IDs to ensure that all players comply.
3. Students should request to join teams listed on www.cstarleague.com.
4. To complete registration, each team must have a minimum of FIVE valid players, a Facebook group, and AZUBU accounts for each player. Note that the season will require 5 players, but the playoffs will require 7 players.

The regular season will split teams into separate groups, by region, for round robin play using Bo5 CSL format. Following that, the top teams in each group as well as wild cards based on record/ELO will advance into a single elimination playoff bracket by region, using Bo7 CSL format. The top 2 NA, the top 1 EU, and the top 1 Asia team will be flown to the live grand finals in southern California Feb 2-3.

To play for the Asia region will be on the KR/TW server, so competitors must have valid accounts in order to participate.

[ToRSpartaz]

I have to admit, I really like this initiative it is encouraging students to pursue their career ambitions and using Sc2 as a means of achieving it. I have a lot of respect for what this organisation is trying to achieve.

I bet SEA can take it home

EDIT: Just a question, when signing up for CSL site and AZUBU do we use our university e-mails for the e-mail section or use our personal e-mails and state our university e-mails for student confirmation elsewhere?

Isn't that the whole point?

You do have to have a team of 5 from your college to play though.

University student's only except special circumstances, like the following:

Players can be considered for eligibility for other university teams under special circumstances on a case-by-case basis. Exceptions are only made for players from unusually small schools (total student population <5000) that have a strong affiliation with the larger university, such as a community college with a direct feeder program to a nearby 4-year university.

Isn't that only if you want to play for a different institution? ie one your college has ties with? That's how I read that exception.
