Bounty Weekend Format & Qualification Rules
The BGMI Masters Series (BGMS) Bounty Weekend is one of the most intense qualifying events in the Indian mobile esports scene. The NODWIN Gaming organization’s mode splits the 16-team lobby after 6 matches into two separate routes:
- The top 6 teams qualify directly for Super Weekend 1 and continue their march in the upper bracket of the tournament.
- The other 10 teams have to join the qualifiers for League Week 2, which means that they will have additional lobbies to re-enter the Super Weekend.
The Point System: Based on the NODWIN Gaming tournament regulations, the Bounty Weekend has its peculiar scoring system:
- 10 points for a win (WWCD) and decreasing placement points for each next spot in the rankings (9 points for 2nd place, 8 points for 3rd, through 0 for 9th to 16th places).
- One point per standard finish (no WWCD).
- Powerplay multipliers provide extra points for eliminations in the double points round (Phase 1).
- Impact Player multipliers give an additional chance for bounties (2x points for a defined Impact Player).
- Bounty eliminations award 10 points for each elimination from the list of top-seeded teams.
Team Tamilas’ Dominant 88-Point Run
Team Tamilas demonstrated impeccable teamwork and maximized their bounty gains to claim the first place by a massive 24-point margin over the 2nd place team.
By averaging over eight finishes per match, Team Tamilas secured a large amount of powerplays in the early game. Their 17 bonus points, plus a lobby record of 50 eliminations, ensured they punched their ticket to #1 well before the final circle of the lobby wrapped up.
The Top 6 Super Weekend 1 Qualifiers
The qualification cutoff for Super Weekend 1 saw plenty of back and forth in the final circles between teams vying for one of the six available spots. The following six squads have managed to secure victory in one of the lobbies, punching their ticket to Super Weekend 1.
- Genesis Esports (64 Points) – A reliable performance saw them finish in the top 20% most placed players with 20 points in the category, while also averaging an impressive forty finishes.
- Rapid Chaos Esports (63 Points)—They made good use of sixteen bonus points and a chicken dinner to claim the third seed.
- Elite Nova Esports (62 Points)—Another team that displayed great zoning, with twenty placement points and thirty-three finishes, putting them in the fourth position.
- Reckoning Esports (60 Points)—This squad showed strong results, with thirty-five finishes and a single victory netting them fifth.

Mid-Table Battles: Legacy Rosters Miss the Cut
Several already popular teams ended in the bottom 10, and here’s why it was so crucial to win matches in the Bounty Weekend:
- Team Quantum Sparks (55 Pts) and Team Outrage (54 Pts): Both teams scored an incredible 22 and 34 lobby bonus points respectively, however, they only got 6 placement points, which ultimately kept them just short of the cut-off.
- Team SouL (50 Pts) and Revenant Xspark (48 Pts): Neither of these teams got a single Winner-Winner Chicken Dinner win in the 6 matches, preventing them from catching up to the leaders.
- Vasista Esports (20 Pts): The team had issues with getting eliminated in the early compounds, resulting in only 13 finishes and 4 placement points, ultimately getting placed in 16th position.
Tactical Takeaways: Impact of the Bounty Scoring System
- Bonus points can push teams to the top 6: The team Epigrotive Gaming showed that by having the most significant amount of lobby bonuses (15), thus allowing them to beat Team Outrage by a substantial margin.
- However, having a single Chicken Dinner win is still vital: All the teams that got placed in the 1st-6th spot had 1 WWCD and at least 14 placement points. It was shown that only getting kills was not enough to get into the top 6.
