Twitch Rivals Rocket League NA Showdown schedule

The Twitch Rivals Rocket League NA Showdown will be a one-day event held on 17th August 2021 starting at 1:00 pm PDT.

Twitch Rivals Rocket League NA Showdown format

Just like the old continent, the North American region will follow a challenge format called 'Heats' after captains select their rosters from the crew draft at the start of the event.

Heats

• Each one has pre-assigned matchups.
• Teams earn 1 point per Heat win.
• Team lineups
  
  • “Lineups” for each Heat are decided by captains immediately preceding the game
  • Each player must play in at least 4 individual Heats
  • All lineups per Heat are “blind pick”, meaning the lineups are both unveiled simultaneously to the other team
  • Max 1 pro per lineup
• Top-2 in points advance to Finals
  Tiebreaker: Games won in games between tied teams

Finals

• Best of 5
  
  • Game 1: Chat vote
  • Games 2-5: the losing team of the previous game picks the mode
