How does my team qualify for the Renegade Cup Finals?
There are two separate ways to qualify for the Renegade Cup Finals. (1) Teams that finish in 1st Place at the end of one of the Renegade Cup monthly tournaments automatically qualify for the Renegade Cup Finals. This will account for four [4] total winners in each region. (2) The remaining eight [8] spots will go to the eight [8] teams that have accumulated the most Renegade Cup points over the course of the four monthly tournaments.

Note: Psyonix Inc. is not responsible for the administration, fulfillment, or execution of the Renegade Cup monthly Tournament. Tournament results and allocation of points from the Tournament results into the Renegade Cup points qualification system are subject to the review and approval of Psyonix, at its sole and absolute discretion.

If I win a Renegade Cup monthly can I continue to compete in other monthlies?
Teams and players who win a monthly tournament, and as a result automatically qualify for the Renegade Cup Finals, are not eligible to play in subsequent monthly tournaments.

How are points distributed?
Cup Points are distributed based on your team’s finishing place in each monthly tournament. Your team will receive points based on the distribution breakdown shown below. The winning team will earn zero points because it auto-qualifies for the Renegade Cup Finals. If there are ties in any of the finishing standings, the points for those places will be divided evenly among tieing teams.

What are the rules around rosters?
Competing teams can be between 3-5 players. Teams cannot make any changes to their initial roster for the duration of the Renegade Cup. Once you register a team to play in a monthly Renegade Cup Tournament, that team’s roster is locked until the end of the finals. Renegade Cup points and Renegade Cup Finals qualification will be allocated to the team, and not individual players.

What if I want to change to a different team?
If you play in a monthly tournament and don't get the results you were hoping for (or maybe you just don't jive with your first squad), then you can sign-up for the next monthly with a different team.

It is important to remember that Cup Points are cumulative and if you earn points with your original squad and then leave, those points are still tied to your original roster; meaning your new team will need to start from scratch. That rule is why we recommend that you try to keep your roster consistent throughout the duration of the Renegade Cup.

Where can I watch The Renegade Cup?
Renegade Cup monthly tournaments will be broadcast on Wednesdays and Thursdays on the Twitch channel associated with the tournament organizer. Organizers may stream elements of their tournament outside these specified days as well. Be sure to follow @RLEsports on Twitter for more broadcast updates!
