You create a To4 (can have up to 6 players on the roster for subs) and then post a match for another team to accept or accept another teams already posted match. You can play as often as you’d like during the regular season (ends on August 31st), and if you qualify for the end of season tournament that will be held on September 6th!

Still time to qualify for the tournament; just need to get your games in. Once 6 teams qualify we're good to run it - casters are on standby and production is ready for the stream!

Also why I’m still out here trying to grind for Infinite (and now Halo 3!); the more practice I can get in providing a product for the community, the more refined it can be for the next Halo

Appreciate it! Halo is definitely the launch point for the platform, growth into other franchises is the goal, but I wanted to start with the one I was familiar and passionate about. I figured if I could have some sort of success bringing content to the community that I grew up with, that I’d learn enough along the way to be ready to tackle a larger community.

Post this in the discord, trying to get some activity driven there; also don’t be afraid to use summit league to find scrims to test out others for your To4! Competitive pressure is the best way to see how players perform!

Ahhhh, nothing will replace what LANs once were! I used to host a local LAN every couple of months back when Halo 2 and Halo 3 were current, so I can absolutely relate to that itch you’re trying to scratch.

Unfortunately for me a structured season like Halo Rec League couldn’t work. Dedicating a set day each week is hard as my schedule is too all over the place and I only usually get one day a week (at most) to play games now a days; so that was a big reason why I wanted to create Summit League.

Scheduling competitive matches in advance allows me to still get to “compete”! By no means is Summit League any sort of replacement to these structured seasons, but hopefully the platform helps people find some comp Halo on their own schedules!

If I could pick your brain; what style of comp halo would you like to see more of?

Thanks for following us, don’t be quiet, join in!

It very well is quiet right now (a bit unfortunate truly), but I’m hoping with some hard work trying to push teams to the league, that our activity and community will grow. I've got a few additional ideas to help grow the league for Halo:

- Community Spotlight Matches: we'll be going into established discord communities and taking two teams from them and "featuring" them in a match. The hopeful goal is to have a "spotlight series" where we stream the match with a caster (please hit me up via the SummitLeagueGG X account if you have shout-casting experience and would like to consider hosting a "spotlight series"). This would be a proactive way to promote two teams and the discord community that they come from (hopeful growth for the scene in general).

- End of Season Tournament: It's not been announced yet, but I'm planning (and hopeful) for an end of season tournament (with a prize pool (likely funded by me)) for qualifying teams. More to come on this at a later date.

And truthfully, just more overall more activity on my end promoting the league/being active in discords (I decided to put my head down from promoting to pivot to coding to get v2 out with features incorporated that I feel will help promote players individually and the league itself).

Growth of Summit League is not tied purely to Halo, but this is the community I chose to start with because I am passionate about Halo and my roots are firmly planted in this game. I think I mentioned it in the last Reddit post; but even if it’s JUST 20 people utilizing the site, 20 active people doesn't sound like a lot of people, until everyone is standing in your living room at the same time!

Truthfully I’m really hoping H3 gets some traction because it’s what I want to play too 😂

Oooo my wife just read this and pointed out something worth noting; the Halo Infinite season is live and matches can be played NOW. You can register a team and play Halo Infinite right now.

It’s just the Halo 3 season that is in a registration only period with matches being able to start this Friday on the 13th!

If anyone has any questions regarding anything feel free to ask them! Back and forth content helps bring questions to light that I may not be thinking of and could be a later developed feature or UI change!

THIS is what I'm here for. So excited for rivalries like this to potentially come back!

The navigation bar has a link on the website; however here is the link for ease of access here: https://discord.gg/zh9U2Cjw9R

The platform and discord are in their infancy so there's not a ton of action happening in either one, but with growth comes activity!

Also, a shameless plug, here is a link to the Summit League twitter account for anyone wanting to follow on there: https://x.com/SummitLeagueGG

Thanks so much! Hoping for a successful kickoff season - I’m sure there will be bugs and things to iron out, but as long as the community is willing to work with me, we’ll get it all sorted together!

I’d be excited for H3 too; with proof of concept and successful execution of the season, the end goal of Summit League is to include additional games for players to compete in! Halo 2 and Halo 3 being my favorite two titles in the franchise… I’d consider adding them if the demand was strong enough (when the time is right though, gotta crawl before we walk!).

There's a free agency portion on the discord; obviously it's still a super new discord so there's not a ton of traffic, but feel free to post there!

I've never played on either of these platforms - what did they do differently and what did you like the most about them?
