'Fortnite' Summer Skirmish X Twitch Rivals Rules & Standings

The format for the first day of Twitch Rivals X Summer Skirmish is called King Pin. In this Duos match type, teams receive one point per Elimination with an option for a 3x score multiplier in the next round after getting a Victory Royale. If a Duo gets seven or more Eliminations in a single match, they'll receive a 2x score multiplier in the next round. The team with the highest score at the end of five matches wins for their respective region. After that, the next group competes in five matches.
