Winners on each platform will get a "special shoutout" from the official Fortnite Competitive Twitter handle. 

Fortnite Bragging Rights format and scoring

The Fortnite Bragging Rights tournament will feature a Trios format. This will be a platform-based tournament, meaning you will need two others on your team from the same platform.

It is open to all platforms and features a scoring system similar to what we've seen in the past.
