Our mission:

We acknowledge that gender is complicated, so while this is not an exhaustive list of groups we serve, we wish to expressly welcome folks from the competitive gaming community who are nonbinary, agender, third gender, two-spirit, trans-nonbinary, genderfluid, genderqueer, intersex, bigender, and polygender into our spaces. We wish to also invite folks who do not fit neatly into any particular labels around gender, as well as folks who reject gender altogether, to join our community.In addition to our focus on supporting folks with marginalized gender identities, Binary Breakers expressly serves those who are involved in competitive gaming (e.g. speedruns, bingos, randomizers, etc.), and/or work to support competitive gaming events (e.g. hosts, tech team, moderators, etc.).At this time, membership is restricted to those who identify within both aspects of this scope.

What we look for in new community members:

  • Folks who self-identify as being within our mission scope.

  • folks who are part of the competitive gaming and events scene.

  • Folks who are at least 18 years of age, and in good standing on twitch.

If you feel like you belong here, DM us on bluesky or send us an email!

    BREAKOUT FAQ:

    What is "the breakout"?

    • a community showcase series intended to provide competitive gamers with high quality submission videos for use with various marathons.

    • A training ground for new event volunteers to learn the ropes and hone their skills.

    • a really cool way for you to show off the gaming content you create!

    How often does this happen?

    • for 2025, we've scheduled breakout showcases for the first Sunday of every other month.

    • specialty showcases will also be occurring on an intermittent basis.

    Who can apply?

    • The breakout is intended to be a program hosted for the community, by the community. as such, participation is restricted to folks who qualify for general server membership.

    • additionally, we expect all participants in the breakout to be 18 years of age or older. this baseline applies both in terms of the talent we select and the volunteers we recruit.

    I've completed an interest form - what now?

    • both Interest forms are open year round, so any member who is not chosen to be featured for a particular showcase remains eligible for future consideration.

    • Runs do not need to be resubmitted between showcases unless there has been been significant route optimization or alterations to the category you wish to offer. selected runners will be contacted via discord to confirm scheduling for their specific showcase.

    • When a volunteer is selected for a support role, they will be contacted via discord after the vetting process is complete. confirmed volunteers will be added to volunteer pools that can be called upon to assist with showcases throughout the year.

    • Please note: the review process for the breakout can take several weeks.
