Format and Rules
The tournament will be played in TPP and will feature the Smash Rule with a twist!
The “PUBG RACE West 2026” will utilize the standard S.U.P.E.R. Rules based scoring system.
The Hunt:
In addition to the scoring system, PUBG RACE 2026 will feature a special rule “The Hunt”.
To put some pressure on the top performers of the event, the captain of the highest placed team (at the start of each respective map) will have an added 10-point bounty on their head. The player who eliminates this “hunted” captain will earn their team an extra 10 points and an extra $100 for themselves.
Score Threshold:
The score threshold to end day one will be 60.
To reach smash point, a team must reach 85 points.
A team must reach the score threshold and then win a subsequent match to become the champion of PUBG Race West 2025.
You can’t become the champion by winning the same match in which the threshold is reached — it must be a win in a subsequent match.
