2.Help the country it represents become the Best Performing Country of the tournament.

The tournament's central competitive question is;

Which country is the best at Blood Strike?

Every registered squad must select one Latin American country to represent.

Country representation will be used throughout the tournament for community engagement, creator content, tournament broadcasts, regional rivalry, and the Country Ranking.

However, the primary competitive unit remains the individual squad.

Even squads representing the same country remain independent opponents and may not cooperate during official matches.

2. Tournament Structure

The BS Latin American CUP will feature a maximum of:

50 Squads

The tournament will take place across three competitive weekends.

1. Become the BS Latin American CUP Champion.

5 Battle Royale Matches

All qualifier matches will be played on:

Playoff Seed

At the conclusion of the Qualifiers, all participating squads will be ranked according to their performance.

The purpose of the Qualifier stage is therefore to establish competitive seeding for Weekend 2.

5. Playoff Seeding

The teams will then be redistributed into two Playoff groups through a snake seeding system.

Example:

• Seed 1 → Group A

• Seed 6 → Group B

The pattern continues until both groups contain 25 teams.

The purpose of snake seeding is to distribute high and low seeds as evenly as possible between both Playoff lobbies.

A player registered as Mobile may not compete from PC in an official match without approval.

Tournament Administration may conduct platform verification at any time.

14. Platform Rules and Substitutes

A substitution may never result in an active lineup containing more than two PC players.

A squad registers:

• Player A — PC
• Player B — PC
• Player C — Mobile

• Player E — PC Substitute

Player E may substitute into the active lineup only if Player A or Player B leaves the lineup.

The following active combination would be prohibited:

Submitting registration constitutes acceptance of this requirement.

16. Player Eligibility

Participants must:

Once a player participates in an official tournament match, that player may not transfer to another participating squad.

17. Country Representation

Every squad must select:

One Latin American Country

to represent during registration.

A squad may represent only one country throughout the tournament.

Multiple squads may represent the same country.

Once registration closes, the selected country becomes locked.

A squad may not change its country during:

• Qualifiers
• Playoffs
• Grand Final

Country representation will be used for:

• Tournament identity
• Broadcast storytelling
• Creator campaigns
• Social media
• Community rivalry
• Country Standings
• Best Performing Country recognition
• Country Award eligibility

18. Nationality and Country Selection

Players are not required to be citizens or residents of the country their squad chooses to represent unless Tournament Administration communicates otherwise before registration opens.

Mixed-nationality teams are allowed.

The squad collectively selects one country.

This system is intended to promote Latin American regional representation without requiring nationality verification for every participant.

19. Country Ranking

The BS Latin American CUP will maintain an official:

COUNTRY RANKING

Each country's position is determined by the performance of its:

Highest-Ranked Eligible Squad

Only one squad per country contributes to that country's official Country Ranking at any given time.

Country

Highest-Ranked Squad

Mexico

132

Colombia

Team Nova

125

Brazil

Team Storm

121

Peru

Team Eclipse

114

If another squad representing the same country earns a higher official score, that squad becomes the country's active representative in the Country Ranking.

20. Country Ranking by Stage

Country Rankings are calculated independently during every competitive stage.

Country Rankings use Qualifier scores.

Country Rankings reset and use Playoff scores only.

Country Rankings reset and use Grand Final scores only.

Only the Grand Final Country Ranking determines:

• Best Performing Country
• $1,000 Country Award

All Country Rankings published before official validation are:

Provisional

21. Best Performing Country

The country represented by the highest-scoring eligible Grand Final squad will be recognized as:

BEST PERFORMING COUNTRY — BS LATIN AMERICAN CUP

The squad responsible for achieving the highest Country Ranking will receive:

USD $1,000 COUNTRY AWARD

The Country Award is paid to the winning squad.

It is not distributed between every squad representing that country.

22. Country Award Eligibility

The $1,000 Country Award is awarded to the squad whose official Grand Final score places its selected country first in the final Country Ranking.

If multiple squads represent the winning country, only the:

Highest-Scoring Eligible Squad

receives the award.

Mexico Squad

Grand Final Score

Mexico Team A

146

Mexico Team B

123

Mexico Team C

108

Mexico Team A represents Mexico in the Country Ranking.

If 146 is the highest Country Ranking score overall:

• Mexico becomes Best Performing Country.
• Mexico Team A receives the $1,000 Country Award.

23. Country Award and Placement Prizes

The Country Award is additional to the standard tournament prizes.

A squad may receive both.

If the tournament champion also represents the Best Performing Country:

1st Place: $3,500 USD
Country Award: $1,000 USD

Total:

$4,500 USD

24. Country Competition and Competitive Independence

Country representation does not create alliances.

Every squad is an independent opponent.

Squads representing the same country may not:

• Agree not to attack each other.
• Coordinate rotations.
• Share enemy positions.
• Share live strategic information.
• Protect each other.
• Feed kills.
• Trade eliminations.
• Coordinate placements.
• Target opponents at another team's request.
• Manipulate Country Standings.
• Manipulate Country Award eligibility.

Country identity is a tournament narrative and ranking mechanic.

It does not permit cooperation between squads.

25. Collusion

Any agreement or coordinated behavior between separate squads intended to influence:

• Match results
• Kills
• Placement
• Playoff qualification
• Grand Final qualification
• Country Rankings
• Country Award eligibility

may be considered collusion.

Confirmed intentional collusion is a severe competitive integrity violation and may result in:

Tournament Disqualification

26. Country Ranking Recalculation After Penalties

Country Rankings always use the current official standings.

Whenever a penalty changes a squad's score:

1. The squad's official score is recalculated.
2. Stage standings are recalculated.
3. Country Standings are recalculated.
4. Country Award eligibility is recalculated where applicable.
5. If another squad representing the same country now has a higher official score, that squad becomes the country's representative.

Previously published Country Rankings may therefore change retroactively.

27. Country Award Recalculation

The $1,000 Country Award is determined using:

Final Corrected Grand Final Standings

If a penalty affects the squad representing the current leading country:

1. Its score is adjusted.
2. The Country Ranking is recalculated.
3. Another squad representing the same country may replace it.
4. Another country may move into first place.

The Country Award is not finalized until all:

have concluded.

5. Most Kills in the Most Recent Match

The squad winning the tie-break determines the higher-ranked country.

29. Team Rosters

Substitutions may occur between matches if communicated according to Tournament Administration procedures.

Every active roster must remain compliant with the:

Maximum 2 PC Player Rule

Teams may not:

1. Use unauthorized players.
2. Borrow players.
3. Transfer players between squads.
4. Share accounts.
5. Use a substitute in a way that produces an illegal platform composition.

• Registration
• Platform declarations
• Country selection
• Check-in
• Lobby information
• Roster management
• Substitution requests

• Competitive protests
• Ensuring all teammates understand the rules

Official communication sent to the Team Captain is considered communication to the entire squad.

Failure to check in may result in:

• Administrative Reminder
• Official Warning
