Apex Legends Code Red Tournament Format

Eight teams comprising of three players each will be competing in the tournament for the top prize. Seven teams consist of professional players while the eighth will go to the team that wins the qualifying tournament.

The Code Red tournament features a double-elimination bracket with the teams competing in public matches. Custom matchmaking is still not available in Apex Legends.

Teams compete against each other over three separate matches and must outscore the opposition to take the round. A win nets the team eight points while each kill provides a bonus point.

The tournament bracket and results would be updated constantly as the tournament progresses. If there is a tie after the three rounds, the winner is selected based on the most wins, and then, the most damage dealt over the three rounds. Another tie would mean that there would be a fourth round between the teams to decide the winner.

Regarding the prize money, the first-placed team will receive $13,000 while the second and the third-placed teams net $7,000 and $5,000 respectively.

Apex Legends is available for Microsoft Windows, Xbox One and PlayStation 4.
