THE<br />
SCHOOL LEAGUE<br />
The <strong>School</strong> League began<br />
in 2003 when the <strong>Games</strong><br />
<strong>Workshop</strong> Community team<br />
decided to try out the idea<br />
of a gaming tournament<br />
between schools.<br />
The idea had been around for a while but<br />
no one had tried to put it into practice.<br />
The first League had a grand total of six<br />
schools and thirty-two pupils from the<br />
Midlands playing The Lord of the Rings.<br />
The League has grown from this humble<br />
starting point into the large event it is<br />
today. The International Final, which is<br />
held in Warhammer World in Nottingham,<br />
now has an average attendance of twentysix<br />
schools and over two hundred pupils<br />
taking part.<br />
The League is a great opportunity for school<br />
clubs to get involved in a series of activities<br />
in their local <strong>Games</strong> <strong>Workshop</strong> store<br />
culminating in a tournament – the Regional<br />
Final; the winners of which are invited to<br />
the International Final to find who the best<br />
players are!<br />
The League is open to all pupils aged<br />
between 12 and 18; this is to say all pupils<br />
in school years 7 to 13 are able to take part<br />
regardless of whether they are in a<br />
secondary, middle, prep or home school! To<br />
register and take part in <strong>School</strong> League<br />
activities we need to speak to the teacher<br />
who runs the club or who is the staff liaison.<br />
The <strong>School</strong> League starts in September<br />
with a whole range of activities taking<br />
place in all of our <strong>Games</strong> <strong>Workshop</strong><br />
stores. These include army building,<br />
tactics and painting tutorials to name but a<br />
few. These activities will help your club<br />
get fighting fit for the Regional Finals and<br />
ready to challenge all comers!<br />
The first months of the League are when<br />
clubs get their members together and<br />
decide which game systems they want<br />
enter teams into (Warhammer,<br />
Warhammer 40,000 and The Lord of the<br />
Rings). Some schools pick just one, whilst<br />
others enter teams in all three.<br />
The <strong>School</strong> League is not<br />
designed to be just a<br />
tournament; in fact the<br />
tournament is the peak of<br />
the programme.<br />
It is designed for both pupils<br />
and teachers of different<br />
schools to visit their local<br />
store, as well as get together<br />
and socialise with other clubs.<br />
