DISCORD
Discord is a forum style communication software. It is used by most esports/gaming communities to communicate with each other. Each community can set up their own forum server which individuals can join and chat to like minded people. It is a very useful tool for organisers as you can share information in one place for a lot of members to view.
Discord’s Official Website: https://discord.com
Motorsport Australia will utilise discord to communicate various information – Events, Results, Race Control etc.
It is advisable that members take the time to review the terms and conditions of the Discord website, paying special attention to the safeguarding information, as it is of utmost importance to ensure your safety online, particularly for those who are just starting their Esports journey or for parents who are helping their children access esports safely.
