Student Testimonials

One thing I love about SEED is the atmosphere of the classes. Though "chill" and more relaxed (which is a good thing), it is still packed with information and tips, which makes it a comfortable and positive environment to learn in. The feedback given after each practice round was always detailed and on point, so it's easy to know what exactly to improve on.

Quality judging. [It was] clear that the organizers worked hard on the event and the idea of report cards is very interesting and provides value unique to SEED tournaments.
