Unique rules for some BGMS Season 3 stages
Bounty System
This rule will only be implemented during the League Week. The top four teams of the first match will carry a Bounty in the next match. Based on the overall standings, the top four will then carry a Bounty in the subsequent match. If a roster eliminates all players of a Bounty team, then they will be awarded the 10 bounty points.
Impact Player
This rule will be used on weekends of the League Week. Each team’s captain will do random draw and select a player from their lineup. Each kill by the chosen player will be counted as two points.
Power-play duration
It will be applicable in all matches of the BGMS Season 3. Each kill during the first zone will be rewarded with two points. The participants will try to play aggressively in the initial circle due to this rule.
