Warzone Rules
Call of Duty's battle royale mode, up to 150 players on a large shrinking map.
Solo, duo, trio or quad matches; a league tracks placement and eliminations across several matches per round.
- •Points-based: placement points plus a point per elimination, same convention as other battle royale titles
- •League table totals points across the season's matches
- •Tiebreaker: most match wins, then most total eliminations
- •Agree the exact points table and squad size before the season
- •Agree loadout/killstreak restrictions if the group wants a more level playing field
- •Screenshot the end-of-match results screen for scoring
Kill races and tournament formats
Because custom Warzone lobbies are not widely available, most competitive play uses the kill race format: teams play a set number of public matches within a time window and score points for kills, usually with a placement multiplier.
A typical structure is a two-hour window with the best four or five games counting. Capping the number of counted games stops it becoming an endurance contest and keeps the format about efficiency rather than time invested.
Verification and honesty
Public-lobby formats depend on self-reported scores, which means a league needs a verification rule. Requiring a screenshot of the end-of-match summary for every counted game is the standard and takes seconds per match.
Streaming or recording the session is the stronger version and is what larger tournaments require. For a small league of people who know each other, screenshots are usually enough, but the rule should exist before it is needed.
Common questions
What is a kill race?
Teams play public matches during a fixed window and score points for eliminations, often multiplied by finishing position. It is the standard Warzone competitive format precisely because private lobbies are hard to obtain.
How many games should count?
The best four or five within the window. Counting every game rewards whoever can play longest; counting the best few rewards consistency and keeps the session length fair for people with less free time.
How do you verify results?
Require a screenshot of each counted match summary showing kills and placement. Match tracking sites can also confirm results from public matches, which is a useful backstop for any disputed score.
Does loadout choice need restricting?
Rarely in casual play, but state whether any weapons or perks are banned before the season. Balance patches arrive frequently, so a league should be prepared to update the list mid-season and say so.
How many players per team?
Squads of four is the usual format, with trios and duos also common. Whatever you pick, keep it fixed for the season, because kill totals across different squad sizes are not comparable.
