Details of the prize monies that may be won by females in MSSA's Online School League - 31 July 2023

Excelling in MSSA's NWU Online Schools League affords learners the opportunity to advance into the National Protea Team.

With the MSSA's NWU Online School League about to start on 31 July 2023 excitement is running high as schools and players ready themselves for the largest purse to be awarded to an official national school league. 

The overall prizes offered amounts to R65,000.00 and MSSA has continued to ensure that there are prizes awarded exclusively to the top female teams and/or individual players in the game titles for which prize money shall be given.

However, there is a twist, as, should a female, or a team consisting only of females, win the title overall, and not just be the highest placed female, such females shall earn both the overall purse as well as the extra R1,000.00.

The prizes are divided into three categories:

• Overall purse prize being a bursary (courtesy of NWU to the value of R30,000.00 and R5,000.00 for the CS:GO, DotA 2, efootball, Mobile Legends Bang Banc, and Street Fighter V esports titles,
• Prizes for the best female athletes, and
• Best school award.
