Local schools/teams can register in advance to submit their team and be invited to come and play on stage in front of an audience.
There will also be an Overwatch/Rocket League (dependent upon interest/sign ups).
Other activities will include SIM rig racing, arcade/retro gaming, an Esports Information Station, a Minecraft build competition, design an esports jersey and more.
A production crew will also be live streaming the entire event.
There will be a livestream section on the floor for talent and special guests to stream from, along with a commentators room for a commentator to cast the games for both the crowd and livestream
The event is presented by the Esports_LMC team at Lancaster & Morecambe College.
