Tournaments give your revision a goal and a finish line. On the 25schools app, every quiz battle you play counts towards tournaments that run all year, with rewards for the best, the most consistent and the most improved players.
You are already entered
There is nothing to sign up for. Every challenge battle you play counts automatically towards the tournaments that are running. Open the Tournaments screen to see your standing and what you are in the running for.
Weekly cups
Every Monday new cups start for the week’s most popular subjects, plus an open Weekly Arena for all subjects. To qualify for rewards, win 3 matches against 2 different opponents during the week.
Monthly leagues
Leagues run for longer and include leagues for each academic level (primary, secondary and college) and for individual subjects. To qualify, play 5 matches against 3 different opponents in the month.
How rewards are shared
- Skill: the players with the highest rating at the end.
- Consistency: the players who were most active throughout.
- Improvement: the players whose rating rose the most.
- Lucky draw: a random pick from everyone who qualified.
So you don’t have to be the top player to win something. Turning up regularly and getting better both pay.
Why it helps
Revision works best little and often, and a weekly cup is exactly that: a reason to play a few battles every week, on subjects you are studying anyway. Following your standing keeps you going through the long months before exams.
Keep your streak going
Daily quests earn power-ups for your tournament battles, and your points also count on the student leaderboard. Read the full rules on the live quiz page.
