The BGMS Season 3 point system rewards strategic gameplay and aggressive tactics. Points for each match are based on ranking positions and eliminations:
- Match Ranking Points: Teams receive ranking points based upon their placement in a match. The higher the placement, the more points a team earns.
- Elimination Points: Teams also gain points for each elimination they secure. This is to encourage aggressive plays and reward teams for taking risks.
Additionally, there are special bonuses:
- Powerplay: Double points will be awarded to the teams for every elimination in the first phase/zone.
- Bounty: 10 points will be given to the teams for the elimination of a top 4 team from the last match.
- Impact Player: Each finish secured by a player picked by a team's IGL before the match, randomized, is counted for double points. Do note that this works only on weekends.
