All signatures on this petition go towards starting an E-Sports at Taylor County High School. E-Sports are defined as a term for organized multiplayer video game competitions, particularly between professional players. This can entail sports games like 2K, Madden, NCAA, Fifa, etc. or FPS like Call of Duty, Counter Strike: Global Offensive, Halo, etc. or Top-down/RPG games like League of Legends and DOTA 2. E-Sports tournament winners can get upwards of multiple thousands of dollars, and everything to compete is supplied by the host of tournament. All we need at the school are computers/consoles capable of running our games at a suitable speed. We would like E-Sports at TCHS because many colleges have E-Sports teams, and some give Scholarships for it. For example, Harvard, MIT, and UCLA have teams, and Pikeville and RMU offer scholarships. Thus, I believe we should begin a program at our school to open the gates to these opportunities, such as money for the school and scholarships. I hope that you will consider this proposition respectfully and possibly allow this to happen. Thank you.
