Fortnite Symbiote Cup Basics
The Symbiote Cup will feature up to ten matches within a three-hour time frame. This means the players have a limited window to score as many points as possible in Battle Royale. The tournament is region-specific, so competitors will need to check the Compete tab in-game for exact event timings in their respective regions.

Symbiote Cup Participation Requirements
To join the Symbiote Cup, you need to have Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) enabled and verified on your Epic Games accounts. That's not everything. You'll also need to have an Account Level 50 or higher, which can be checked in the Career tab in-game.
- Fortnite players with Cabined Accounts will not be eligible to join the Symbiote Cup.
Fortnite's v31.40 update also introduces specific rules for the tournament. Items and fights such as Boom Billys, Pumpkin Launchers, and Billy and Ultima Carver are not allowed in the competition. Epic Games is taking this measure so the tournament can be fair and balanced, making players rely on their skills instead.
