Tournament Format

Make sure to read the rules as well!

Match Format

  • The Brainrot Tournament is played in a round robin format, where each player plays against every other player.
  • The top 2 players in the round robin stage will advance to the finals.
  • The top 2 players are decided first by match win count, then by average score.
  • Round robin matches are a best-of-3 runs, and the finals are a best-of-5 runs.

Playing Runs

  • Before every run in a match, a seed, character, and an objective will be randomized for that run.
  • Both players will play the given seed until completion or death.
  • Both players must stream their run on discord while deafened as to not gain information during the run.
  • If only one player completes the objective, that player wins the run.
  • If both or none of the players complete the objective, the run winner is determined by run score.
  • The player who wins 2 or 3 runs (depending on the match) wins the match.
  • If a player dies early and it becomes clear the other player will win, the run is ended prematurely to save time.

Scoring System

The Brainrot Tournament scoring system prioritizes speed, as well as style.

(although actually completing the objective still reigns supreme).
