1. Go to the events tab and select the tournament that you want to participate in
2. Press “BUY TICKET” and fill out the information (Team Name, Stream Link, Activision ID etc.)

• All players must INDIVUDALLY purchase their own tickets. This means that if there is a TRIOS TOURNAMENT, then all three members would have to sign up for themselves. We will identity that each player is apart of a team based on the TEAM NAME that you input when registering.
• Make sure you all enter the SAME TEAM NAME so we can identify you.
• Only one person per team is obligated to put in their stream link. If no one does, they will be ineligible to claim prizes.
• Your EA account ID is just your public username and can be found in the Origin Launcher or in game by hovering over your name and opening the stats page in the APEX lobby.

If you have any questions, please contact our staff members on discord.

FocusUpGaming hosts kills race tournaments.

• All teams play public games for an allotted time, and rack up points through kills and placements.
• You are allowed to play as many games as you can within the set timeframe.
• At the end of the tournament, one person from each team submits their top four games in the “REPORTING SCORES” tab.

Below is an example of what a teams score would look like in our tournament after they complete all their games:

Game	Kills	Placement	Total score per game
1	18	3rd (8 points)	26
2	14	6th (5 points)	19
3	12	9th (2 points)	14
4	11	29th (0 points)	11
			70 (Final Score)

If you have any questions, please contact our staff members on discord.

There are three divisions in our tournaments. Beginner, Intermediate, and Advanced. These division have limits based on the total lifetime K/D of a team. So, to arrive at your division you must take the accumulated lifetime K/D of all players on the team.

Here are the K/D Caps for our Apex tournaments:

DUOS                              TRIOS

Novice: 2.00                Novice: 3.00
Recruit: 3.50                Recruit: 4.50
Veteran: 6.50              Veteran: 7.50

• For APEX we base it on lifetime KDR not season and/or ranked KDR.
• For TRIOS There is 1.50 KD CAP per player for Novices. This means you cannot have a KDR higher than 1.50 when participating in the NOVICE division!

KILLS:
1 point

PLACEMENT:
1st = 15 points
2nd = 9 points
3rd = 8 points
4th = 7 points
5th = 6 point
6th = 5 point
7th = 4 point
8th = 3 point
9th = 2 point
10th = 1 point

One member of each team is required to stream during the tournament!

Archive Streams: 

• The person who decides to stream must make sure that their twitch streams are “archived”. This can be enabled in your streaming platform settings. Enabling this feature allows us to go through and see your games so that we can validate your results. IF THIS IS NOT DONE WE WILL NOT BE ABLE TO CONFIRM YOUR PLACEMENTS.

Stream Title: 

• The title of your stream MUST include #FocusUpgaming.com while streaming, and this title must also remain in the archived stream. Changing the title of your stream after the tournament and stream concludes will not fulfill this requirement.

Streaming times: 

• Your stream must begin 30 minutes before the tournament.
• If you end the stream before the tournament concludes, then all matches that weren’t streamed will not be counted to your score (Only matches that are streamed can be counted).
• End the tournament stream no later than 30 minutes after the tournament concludes.

Stream crashes:

• If your stream crashes during the event, restart the stream as soon as possible. Any game(s) that are submitted as one of your best 4 must be streamed in full. No time extensions are given for technical difficulties.
• TAKE SCREENSHOTS OF GAME SCORES AS PROOF JUST IN CASE THERE ARE TECHNICAL ERRORS THAT OCCUR DURING TOURNAMENTS.

If you have any questions, please contact our staff members on discord.

• All scores must be submitted in the “Reporting Scores” tab on our website.
