What is the tournament format?

CCS Fortnite Qualifiers use an open "matchmaking kill race" format, allowing teams of two to play standard Fortnite Duos matchmaking to compete for points on the leaderboard against the other registered teams.

Teams must only play matches in the specific 1-hour period for each qualifier event. After the gameplay period ends, you will submit your (3) best game scores as official tournament results.

These three game scores must be visible in one screenshot of your in-game “Replay” menu. Both players will be required to record a screenshot of the replay menu to verify your scores (more info below). Both players’ reported scores must come from the same three games.

How will points be distributed?

Points will be rewarded based on your team’s placement and eliminations from your best three recorded games.

Eliminations: 3 points per elimination

• Placements:
• 1st = 10 points
• 2nd = 7 points
• 3rd = 5 points
• 4th = 4 points
• 5-8th = 3 points
• 9-12th = 2 points
• 13th-16th = 1 point

What are the steps to participate?

• Step 1: Register/join a Team for a Qualifier.
• Step 2: Wait for the tournament to begin at the scheduled time.
• Step 3: When the tournament begins, teams may enter Fortnite duos matchmaking and play games for up to 1 hour.
• Step 4: After the gameplay phase ends, both players must record proof/evidence screenshots.
• Step 5: Enter your team’s game scores (placement/eliminations), upload proof screenshots, submit final results.
• Step 6: Wait for contact from tournament admins via Challonge messages to verify your scores with additional evidence.

How do I verify my scores?

In order for your team’s results to be accepted, they must be verified by the tournament admins. To verify your results, both players must take a screenshot of the in-game Replay menu from your Fortnite Career tab.

All three of your submitted scores must be visible within one screenshot.

When submitting your results, you must attach both players photo proof in the necessary fields on Challonge. If your screenshots properly match your reported game scores, you will be verified and placed on the official leaderboard to win prizes.

If your team places in the Top 10 on the leaderboard, you will be contacted for additional verification of your game results. This may include recording video footage or sending replay files directly to admins. We recommend saving the replay files of your official game scores until the leaderboard is officially published within 24 hours of the tournament ending.

What prizes can my team win?

Every qualifier tournament will feature a $2,500 cash prize, $6,000+ in Logitech/ASTRO Gaming products, and thousands of Chipotle coupons and rewards.

How do I join a team?

If you are invited to a CCS team, you can accept the invitation to join the event. Players may only compete on one team per qualifier event. Both players will be required to input valid Epic Games IDs that they will compete on during the tournament.
