Agents League introduces three focused tracks: Creative Apps, Reasoning Agents, and Enterprise Agents. Each track provides starter kits, live coding battles, and AMAs with product teams. This structure accelerates hands-on learning and practical evaluation of agent architectures. Participants gain direct product feedback and can validate production-ready integrations in constrained, timeboxed challenges.Practical implications
Developers must register to qualify for prizes and a digital badge. Weekly live battles demonstrate architectural trade-offs and real-time debugging approaches. Async build weeks let teams iterate on integrations such as MCP servers, OAuth, and Adaptive Cards. Submissions use a GitHub template, enabling reproducible evaluation and community voting on Discord.“Register first to be eligible for prizes and your digital badge.”Agents League schedule provides clear milestones and deliverables for participants. Live coding sessions occur Feb 17-19, with AMAs and build time Feb 24-26. Winners receive $500 per track, Copilot Pro subscriptions, and product team recognition.
