01
What is it?
Red Bull Campus Clutch is a global VALORANT tournament exclusively for university students. After an amazing debut in 2021 that saw Egypt's Anubis Gaming become the winners, and a 2022 tournament where a team from the USA’s Northwood University triumphed, this year marks the third season, with over 200 national and regional tournaments across four months. The best of the best advance to the World Final, with a chance to claim serious bragging rights, not to mention a cash prize purse.

Who can take part?
There are four main eligibility requirements:
• The tournament is open only to residents of participating countries as listed in the Rules and FAQ.
• Participants must be 18 years of age or older.
• They must be currently enrolled at a university.
• And they can enter only as part of a group registration for a team of five people. (In other words, one team member signs up on behalf of the whole five-person crew.)
Does the whole team have to be from the same university?
Yes. All five team members must be enrolled at the same university.
03
Any other rules?
Two key things to remember are:
• Each participant can be part of only one team.
• Throughout all stages of the tournament, the team configuration has to stay the same as in the initial registration – with the exception that each team will be allowed to replace one team member during the entire tournament. The replaced player can rejoin the same team at a later stage.
Check out more information in the Rules and FAQ.
