The 2023 season of the New Zealand Esports Hyperfibre League will host two esports events, one for Rocket League and one for Apex Legends.

This is an amateur tournament, and so there is no official prize pool.

However there are multiple academic scholarships, and spot prizes to be won throughout the event.

Only full teams can sign up on our website, but if you’re an individual or have a small group looking for a few more, you can hunt for more players on our Discord server.

No – The NZEHL is for players of all skill levels. If you are super competitive, you will be seeded into progressively more difficult matches. If you are more casual and just like to compete, you will be seeded into the lower divisions of play.

We hope to introduce more divisions in the future for special age categories.

Guilds are the heart of the NZ Esports Hyperfibre League – every team competes nationally, but only one representative from each guild qualifies for the national final

Yes! More information will be released as we finalize the competition venue.

If your team makes the final, you will have to travel and stay in Auckland at your own expense.

Absolutely! That’s the beauty of esports!

Yes! The Women’s Track of the New Zealand Esports Hyperfibre League will run alongside the Open Track, with the top two teams for each game advancing to the live final. 

For the most part. This event is open to anyone in New Zealand for the duration of the competition, including those working or studying here on overseas visas. If you’re going to be heading overseas during the course of NZEHL, please reach out to confirm your ongoing eligibility in the competition. 

Substitution rules can be found in the specific games ruleset.

Hold tight! We will be releasing rulesets and further information as more teams enter the event. 

In the meantime, get to practicing! Registrations close in a few weeks, after that all registered individuals will be contacted with further details.

Rocket League will be played on Tuesday evenings, while Apex Legends will be played on Wednesday evenings.

Be sure to join the NZEHL Discord server to get live updates on the weekly schedule.

Rocket League: If you’re unable to make your scheduled game time, reach out to the other team to see if you can come to an agreed time. If you can’t agree on a time, the official game time will stand and if you can’t make it, let us know you need to default.

Teams will be penalized points deduction for an uncommunicated no-show.

Apex Legends: If you’re unable to make the drop time, you will not be eligible for any points in that round.

In the event of an issue happening, please pause the game and notify the other team that an issue has occurred, followed by immediately contacting an admin.

Abuse of the pause function may result in disqualification
