Food and Refreshments:
Fisher College will have access to refreshments in the cafeteria and/or café. There are also some other locations close to the campus in the Boston neighborhood. Please let your players know refreshments will be available.
Transportation and Parking:
Parking at the location on Beacon Street is very limited. Street parking uses a meter and only for two hours at a time, then the car must be moved.
Important: there is no minibus parking available. There are a few spaces in a back alley for a van sized vehicle, but minibuses are too large for the back-alley parking.
Students can be dropped off by a bus in front of the school but the bus will need to park somewhere else.
Other transportation information can be found on the Fisher College website - CLICK HERE
Spectators:
Spectators are invited to the final’s games on the main stage. Spectators will not be permitted in the rooms where the semi-finals are taking place.
Don’t hesitate to bring other players from your teams or invite parents and others to watch!

Esports in Massachusetts
The MSAA has partnered with PlayVS to bring esports to high schools throughout Massachusetts. Esports, or competive gaming, is the fastest-growing high school sport in the country and, much like traditional sports, requires teamwork, critical thinking, and communication to achieve success. However, esports goes ever further to create a barrier-breaking, all-inclusive environment with a strong sense of community. All games are selected based on their competitiveness and strategy and are rated E for Everyone.
