FNCS Format
The FNCS format should be familiar to players. The scoring will continue to balance eliminations and general placement. Teams that were able to finish 1st, 2nd, or 3rd in their respective regions in last season's FNCS (Fortnite Chapter 2 Season 5) are automatically qualified for the Chapter 2, Season 6 Finals and will not be able to compete in the Qualifiers or Semifinals.
The most important highlights:
- The top 3 trios from each qualifier will skip the semifinals and advance directly to the finals. All other teams must earn Series points to advance to the semifinals.
- There will be three rounds of semifinals per region and the rounds will all be played on the same day.
- The restart round will be expanded to a minimum of three and a maximum of six matches.
