Electronic Gaming Federation
The Electronic Gaming Federation (EGF) was founded by Rochester Institute of Technology alumni Tyler Schrodt in 2015. More recently the gaming organization runs tournaments at the nation level for the High School scene and Collegiate scene. The EGF hosts a regular season for the following titles, Rocket League and Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. Schools compete in a Swiss style regular season to determine postseason tournament seeding. The EGF partners up with Division I conferences to have colleges from those conferences face off against each other in competition. Some of these conferences include the Big East and the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference (MAAC). They also have a conference called the "Power 5" which includes universities in some of the Power 5 conferences, such as the Atlantic Coast Conference, Southeastern, and the Pacific-12 Conference. Teams included are, Florida State University, Louisiana State University, and Washington State. The EGF will begin a new competition on April 20th, 2020 called the "Power Series", this will include any Division 1 schools classified at the traditional sport level that signs up. The schools that play in this competition will be playing each other in Rocket League.

Riot Games Collegiate League of Legends
Starting in Fall 2011, Riot Games partnered with Collegiate Starleague (CSL) in their inaugural collegiate tournament season. CSL continued to run Riot's collegiate tournaments through the 2013 CSL Finals. In Fall 2013, Riot Games announced their official North American Collegiate Championship (NACC) program, which was run by a combination of the three organizations CSL, IvyLoL, and North American Challenger League (NACL). In 2016, the NACC evolved into the University League of Legends (uLoL) Campus Series, run by CSL, after IvyLoL and NACL stopped functioning, many of their staff being hired as Riot Games employees to orchestrate their collegiate activities. In the Fall of 2017, Riot Games announced that it would rebrand again as College League of Legends, and switched official partners from CSL to Battlefy. In addition to these changes, they also sought out collegiate conference partnerships that allowed schools to compete in their respective conferences. Some of these conferences include the Big East, Big Sky, MAAC, Mountain West, and Peach Belt. In May 2019, Riot Games announced the formation of the Riot Scholastic Association of America (RSAA) as the governing body for collegiate and high school esports for League of Legends.
