Fine Art Directors and Esport Coaches:
Thank you for your patience while we evaluated future partnership opportunities for our Esports platform. Last spring our host platform, Vanta, merged with PlayVS and our contractual obligations were assigned to PlayVS. As a result, TAPPS Spring seasons were played on the PlayVS platform.
After review of all available platforms for TAPPS, we proudly announce our partnership with USAEL powered by Rally Cry for the 2026-27 school year. USAEL and Rally Cry are trusted esports operators that have supported state leagues and official leagues for Riot Games, the NFL, and the Department of Defense. We look forward to the opportunities this partnership will present.
For the coming year the platform will serve as our hosted provider and our teams will be working together to make the transition simple and smooth. More information and signup details will be coming in the next few weeks. There will be a minimal fee included with your annual TAPPS Participation form for TAPPS to administer the platform and cover our administrative expenses, but no direct fee will be owed to USAEL for participation in TAPPS leagues for the 2026-27 school year.
TAPPS, USAEL and You – A Winning Combination
