PUBG Mobile tournament rules

Format

• Squads of 4 players, with the number of substitutes set on the tournament page.
• Matches are played in custom rooms. Maps and their order for each match day are listed on the tournament page.
• Results are added up over all matches in a stage. The tournament page says how many matches each stage has and how many teams advance.

Scoring

Placement points follow the PUBG Mobile Global Championship table.

• Placement points per match: 1st 10, 2nd 6, 3rd 5, 4th 4, 5th 3, 6th 2, 7th 1, 8th 1, 9th and below 0.
• Finish points: 1 point for every enemy eliminated. There is no cap.
• Ties are broken by, in order: most Winner Winner Chicken Dinners, most placement points, most finish points, then the better placement in the most recent match.

Devices and settings

• Play only on a mobile phone running Android or iOS. Emulators and PC play are not allowed.
• Controllers, triggers, adapters, keyboards and mice are not allowed unless an organiser approves them before the match.
• Aim assist and sound visualisation must be turned off.
• Your character must stay fully clothed after leaving the lobby. Changing outfits for effect inside a match is not allowed.

Joining the room

• Room ID and password are sent to captains shortly before each match. Do not share them with anyone outside your team.
• Join the correct slot for your team. Joining the wrong slot or a slot that is not yours can lead to removal from that match.
• A team that does not join before the room starts plays with the players present. A team with nobody in the room scores 0 for that match.

Disconnections and rematches

• Players who disconnect should reconnect straight away. The match is not paused or restarted for an individual disconnection.
• A match may be restarted only if a server problem affects many teams before the first elimination, or if the organisers judge it unplayable.
• Report any problem to the organisers immediately with a screenshot. Problems reported after the match ends are not grounds for a rematch.

Prohibited

• Modified game clients, cheat programs and signalling devices.
• Teaming: any agreement with players from another team not to compete, including sharing positions or avoiding each other.
• Intentionally using bugs or game functions that are not working as intended.
• Ringing: playing on another person’s account, or letting someone else play on yours.
• Knowingly playing public matches with a cheater in the 72 hours before an event can also lead to sanctions.
