OUR PEOPLE IN ACTION
DO I NEED TO AUDITION TO GET INTO THE CLUB?
No, we welcome everyone including new players. To join our sessions, join our telegram chat!
"SMU I-Sports is where I synergise academic learning and non-academic adventure, applying one into another. The strategies learnt in Riichi Mahjong and Texas Hold'em Poker are highly applicable to my coursework as a strategic management major. More importantly, I-Sports is where we all come together and de-stress, relax and have fun!"
- Martin Layar, Lee Kong Chian School of Business Year 4
"I-Sports treats games that most would consider reliant on luck or a gamble as mind-sports that allow like-minded people to think about strategies on a deeper level."
- Chan Hur, Lee Kong Chian School of Business, Year 2
FAQ
You don’t need to be great to start, but you need to start to be great. Many beginners in the past have joined SMU I-Sports and even turned champions! Anyone has the potential to do well, and there’s no need to be shy in joining us even if our games are a first to you. We welcome all who are willing to learn.
Prepare yourself for a fun and enjoyable time. Just come with an open mind and you will do fine.
We hold weekly sessions every Friday from 4 to 1030PM where players can simply play games with each other. You do not have to stay for the whole duration if you don’t wish to. The venue for physical sessions would usually be in SMU Connexion classrooms.
As long as you wish to. It is not compulsory to come for weekly sessions all the time. We are a recreational club meant for players to destress every Friday after a tough week at school.
