What People Say
Hear from our community members
"RPC has helped me grow as a player in a lot of different ways... The innovative formats have given me the chance to learn different parts of the game, like strategy with teams and who you put out to play singles."
"I think RPC is going to grow into whatever our community needs. Local players have cool ideas that they want to put together. We can help them get there."
"My favorite memory from an RPC event was a championship that went all 3 matches. The games were still going after 10 PM and there were still 40-50 people watching. It was really cool."
