The Deadlock Collegiate Series is the premiere deadlock collegiate tournament. Season 0 is aimed at gathering interest from esports programs, building up the scene for the game, and to help work out the issues that may arise during season 1 and beyond. 

Season 0 will feature a 6-week main season, that consists of 2 BO3 matches per week in a swiss format. The playoffs will be a single elimination bracket consisting of 12 teams, 6 from the East conference and 6 from the West conference. Sign ups open on October 14, 2024 and close on January 17, 2025. Season 0 Week 1 begins on January 21, 2025.

For Season 0, we want to get as much interest as possible, therefore there will be no membership or entry fees to allow for as many schools as possible to participate! This is subject to change for season one and beyond to maintain the sustainability of the league.
