Smash Rule in PMWC 2025
-
Match Point Threshold: At the end of Day 2, the total points of the top-performing team plus an additional 10 bonus points will set the Match Point threshold.
-
Eligibility and Winning Condition: Once a team reaches this Match Point threshold, they become "Match Point Eligible." To win the championship, an eligible team must secure a Winner Winner Chicken Dinner (WWCD) in one of the subsequent matches.
-
Fallback Rule: If no team achieves a WWCD after reaching the Match Point within the maximum number of matches (not explicitly stated for PMWC but typically 8-12 in similar events), the team with the highest total points will be crowned the champion.
This format rewards consistency in accumulating points while requiring a decisive victory to claim the title, intensifying the competition. The PMWC 2025 includes a Group Stage (3 days, 24 teams, top 8 to Grand Finals), a Survival Stage (bottom 16 teams, top 8 advance), and the Grand Finals (16 teams). The Smash Rule enhances the excitement, ensuring teams must balance aggressive point-scoring with strategic plays for a WWCD.
