Here’s the announcement:
What is DnDSports?
Imagine if two parties fighting for opposite sides found themselves in the same dungeon. It’s kill or be killed. What will they do to survive?
DnDSports is the first online D&D Tournament in a cooperative Party vs Party setting from EncounterRoleplay & DnDBeyond with a grand prize of $5,000. Over the course of 4 weeks, 16 players will compete in teams of 4 in single elimination games. Each game is a best of 3 arena battle and played via Roll20.
How is it Played?
The full rules for DnDSports will be released shortly after our next round of Playtesting. We don’t claim to have created perfect balance, nor is that our aim, as every competitive game has an element of strategy. We’re also implementing MOBA-esque mechanics such as a Pick/Ban phase to help expand the strategy. We’ve been working closely with over a dozen talented DMs to create 15 pre-generated characters from which the players will choose, and adapt the pre-existing Dungeons & Dragons: 5th Edition rules.
We know that this will be an incredibly fun new way to play D&D, because as long as you’re having fun, you’re doing it right!
We will be releasing the rules after our final play test in a few weeks! However, this is not meant to be taken too seriously. We know it will be very fun for everyone involved, and if you’re having fun, you’re doing it right. 💙 https://t.co/BRyYqC7q2r

FUN FACT: Gary Gygax adapted multiple adventures from competitive tournaments at conventions. We definitely took a lot of inspiration! 🤓 https://t.co/KeK9BTyRI2
