Friday Nite Bragging Rights in Fortnite

The inaugural Friday Nite Bragging Right tournament is all set to begin today, i.e., January 9th. Fortnite Competitive's Twitter account confirmed the same. The event will be held every Friday until March 12th for all regions.

Like the name suggests, winners will receive a shoutout from the official Fortnite Competitive Twitter handle. All the other official rules for the tournament can be found here. Additionally, the schedule for upcoming Bragging Rights events on Fortnite is updated here.

The Fortnite Bragging Rights tournament series, unlike Cash Cups, is open for all, irrespective of the skill level. To participate in the tournament, gamers need to log into the game, head to the "Competitive" tab, and join with their teams. All the teammates must be on the same platform.

It is safe to say that a free-to-join competitive tournament will give the players something to cheer about every week. Additionally, winning would mean that the teams' players receive social media shoutouts to brag about.
