Any member clubs/team/entity may offer to host community Event or Champioship. The profits of a community event, unlike National Championships, are retained by the host clubs/team/entity. Community Events are therefore designed to help clubs/team/entity raise their own funds to help grow the games that we play!

A member clubs/team/entity can also offer to host Open league and National Championships. Clubs/team/entity that tend to host events do have greater growth rates as it is those clubs/team/entity that attract

If you stay far away from an official Esports Ghana event, join, or start a clubs/team/entity in your region, and then you can hold a Community Championship.

Community Championships are designed to not only financially benefit host clubs/team/entity, but they also are designed to help gamers who live far away from the major cities qualify for the National team Trials.

There are a number of championships offered by the Esports Ghana. Obviously, to play in a Esports Ghana Championship, you have to be a Registered Player. However, the following table will help you identify in which championship you may participate:

Because the Esports Ghana is a non-profit association, all expenses are met by the Esports Ghana itself. While every effort is made to earn revenue through sponsorships, Funding, Government Grants, there are many administrative expenses that have to be met.

The membership fees also cement the formal bond between the Esports Ghana and the member.

The Esports Ghana is concerned with growth.

Not just growth of numbers, but the overall development of the gamers who participate in Esports Events in Ghana.

If we could, we would have every member represent the country.

However, that is not possible!

What is possible though, is to improve the average standard of play.

That is what the Modified Swiss System does. By pairing gamers against each other of equal standard, it gives each and every gamer the opportunity to develop to their full potential. This is of course aided by the system allowing each player to play every round unlike in a knock-out type competition. Also, unlike a knock-out system, the Modified Swiss System is impossible to ‘arrange ‘ matches – making the system the fairest possible system after the Round Robin System.

In order to officially represent Ghana, you have to be selected by the Esports Ghana to do so.

Selection follows a process that begins at least one-year before the international event. Gamers qualify for Trials through Regional, Open league, and National Championships.

Once a gamer has qualified for Trials, the gamers will be notified.

It is at the National Trials or Championship that the Esports Ghana does the selection of the team.

Yes, any gamer who is a Registered Player may play in any event in Ghana, whether it falls under the jurisdiction of the Esports Ghana or not.

The Intellectual Property (IP) “Team Ghana” is wholly owned by the Ghana Sports Authority and Olympic Committee. The phrase is only used by this government agencies for the multidisciplinary events (such as, the Olympic Games, World Games, and Commonwealth Games) to which they sends teams.

Any Registered Player who is fully-paid-up can stand for any Esports Ghana position as long as a member clubs/team/entity nominates them to do so, and the nomination form is submitted to the Esports Ghana’s General Secretary on, or, before the due date.

To get elected onto a Esports Ghana Committee, all you need to do is advise your clubs/team/entity chairman, get the clubs/team/entity to nominate you for the position you want. All of the candidate’s names are then distributed among the member clubs/team/entitys. It is then at the Annual General Meeting that the member clubs/team/entity vote for the candidates that they most prefer.

A vacancy on a committee may occur when there are too few candidates, when a member prematurely resigns, or when for any other reason a vacancy occurs.

When a position (seat) becomes vacant, the Management Board is empowered to choose a Registered Player to fill the position. This is so that the committee can remain at optimal strength and can still function effectively.

However, to protect the member clubs/team/entity’s rights, a person who is so co-opted can only remain in such position until the end of the year. At the end of the year, at the Annual General Meeting (AGM), the member clubs/team/entity’s will vote in a proper replacement who will be in the position for the full term.

Each member clubs/team/entity has a representative vote. This means that each clubs/team/entity has but 1 vote.

When a vote is taken, the total number of votes cast is added up.

The Annual Financial Statements (AFS) are distributed to all member clubs/team/entitys. The clubs/team/entitys then review the Financial Statements and either accept or reject them at a General Meeting.

Only members of the Esports Ghana Council are entitled to see the Annual Financial Statements.
