These teams will compete across two formats, beginning with Battle Royale, and advancing to the Clash Squad Mode based on initial performance.

Format and Schedule: What to Expect

The tournament kicks off on October 31 with the knockout stage, continuing until November 9. Teams are split into three groups of six and will play 36 matches across six match days. Each team plays 24 matches during the first week.

• The top 8 teams after the first week move into the Clash Squad Mode, which includes a Swiss Stage (Nov 5–6), semi-finals, and a separate Grand Finals (Nov 14).

• The top 12 teams overall qualify for the Battle Royale Grand Finals, which will be held on November 15.

The 2025 edition debuts the "Champion Rush" format. Once a team reaches 80 points, they become Champion Rush Eligible. From that point, they must win their next match with a "Booyah!" to secure the title. If no team wins by the end of 10 matches, the one with the highest score takes the championship.
