A Player Profile is your personal gaming ID for SoDak Circuit. It holds your important information like your name, age group, game choices, and contact info so you’re ready to compete. Think of it as your custom gamer badge that helps streamline your experience on Game Day.

A Player Profile helps streamline your check-in process and enhances your experience on Game Day. It also provides our Team Leads an estimate of how many players would like to participate.

Yes! You can create your Player Profile now and update your game selections later. It’s better to have your profile ready so you can check in quickly and stay in the loop with all event updates.

If you’d like to check out SoDak Circuit as a spectator, there is no need to create a Player Profile. If you or your child is interested in participating in a gaming bracket, you will need Player Profile. On the day of the event, make sure to arrive early to check-in to get one of our limited bracket spots. If you’re reading this on game day, arrive early and you can get your Player Profile at check-in.

No. Everyone who creates a Player Profile needs to check-in starting when the doors open on Oct. 11 at the Sioux Falls Convention Center. Because this is a free event, participants will not be confirmed to receive a spot until they check in. Once a game’s spots are filled, no more entrants will be accepted. Doors open at 7:30am, Registration begins at 8:30am, Bracketed tournament play commences at 9:30am.

One person from every team, family or individual Player Profile will need an email address. Creating a Player Profile as an individual requires an email address. Creating a Player Profile as a family requires only the parent/guardian’s email address. Creating a Player Profile as a team requires the team lead’s email address.

In both of the 3v3 team events, only the captain will create a Player Profile but the entire team must check in together on Game Day. If you’re interested in playing Rocket League or Valorant and don’t have a full team of 3, there will be a “find a teammate” area on Game Day where you can seek out individuals to complete your team. Arrive early for the best chance.

Unfortunately, we can not pair any individuals up for team games. We are, however, providing a “find a teammate” area on Game Day where individuals or teams looking to fill a spot can arrive early and mingle to find players. Doors open at 7:30am and we suggest arriving early if you’re looking for teammates. No pairing guarantees for placement.

Our event is being played on the following:

Rocket League – PC

Fortnite – PC with keyboard and mouse, Xbox, and PS5

Valorant – PC with keyboard and mouse

Mario Kart 8 – Nintendo Switch wired Switch Pro Controllers

Super Smash Bros. Ultimate – Nintendo Switch with wired GameCube or wired Switch Pro Controllers
