This summertime spectacular is open to all college students in North America and runs from mid-June to early August. As if that weren’t enough, a $20,000 prize pool is also up for grabs.
CCA Summer Series 2024 format and schedule
The CCA Summer Series 2024 consists of three distinct phases. Eligible North American college teams will be split into East and West Conferences for Open Qualifiers and League Play. From there, only the very best will have the privilege of facing off in the Championship.
Open Qualifiers
The East and West Conferences will each have two Open Qualifiers consisting of a double-elimination bracket. The Top 8 from each of those Open Qualifiers advance to that Conference’s League Play. Once the Open Qualifiers conclude, there will be 32 teams qualified for CCA Summer Series 2024 League Play.
The CCA broadcast team will be jumping around the Open Qualifier brackets streaming matches from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. PDT (12 to 5 p.m. EDT) on the College CarballTwitch Channel. The further a team makes it in the bracket, the better their chance of being featured on stream.
Programs that wish to showcase their talented members when not on the official broadcast may also apply for Team Stream approval in theCCA Discord. Those approved will be able to tream their team’s matches and have their broadcast promoted by CCA.
League Play
CCA Summer Series 2024 League Play is an intense round-robin format divided into an East and West Conference with 16 teams each. They will have four weeks to schedule, play, and report scores for one best-of-five match against every other team in their Conference. The teams who manage to climb to one of the top six spots in each Conference will advance to the Championship.
CCA will work with teams to schedule four broadcasted matches during every week of CCA Summer Series 2024 League Play. These matches will have the spotlight on the College CarballTwitch Channelfrom 5 to 9 p.m. PDT (8 p.m. to 12 a.m. EDT) on the days listed below.
