The tournament format itself is based on a point system, as follows:
- VICTORY ROYALE: +3 POINTS
- 2ND-3RD PLACE: +2 POINTS
- 4TH-10TH PLACE: +1 POINT
- 3-4 ELIMINATIONS: +1 POINT*
- 5-6 ELIMINATIONS: +2 POINTS*

*These points can only be earned once per match. For example, 10 eliminations would only earn you +3 points and any additional eliminations will not add points to your score.
