Fortnite is played over a nine-week regular season with four matches every Tuesday (ZB) and Thursday (Builds) at 5:00 p.m. Each division was separated into three groups with two groups from each division playing each week, meaning teams play a total of six weeks during the regular season. Both Bushnell teams were placed in Group 1 of their corresponding competition day, meaning both duos will play in weeks 1,2,4,5,7 and 8.
Points are earned based on placement and eliminations. At the end of the regular season, the top 50 teams with the most points over the nine weeks will move to Finals.
The duos competing for the Beacons are
Audrick Guerrero Escobar/
Yannick Guerrero Escobar (Zero Build) and
