Challengers LAN Events and Home Series
Challenger Series deployment in Minnesota is at the top of the flagpole in terms of Challengers Points, prizes, and participants. Up to 192 teams may enter Launch Weekend and Midseason Weekend events.
Home Series Weekend tournaments are worth 10,000 Challengers Points. There is a minimum $10,000 prize regardless of a mosh pit of 32 teams or a ground war of 128 in bracket. For example, only the first 32 amateur teams to register for the London Royal Ravens Open will qualify. All Challengers events use the official Call of Duty League ruleset.

Top Two Finish Rule
Trying to keep your boots on the ground? The top two finish rule ensures you don’t have to fly to every event. Only your top two results will register toward your Challengers Points total (maximum of 20,000 points).
This gives players the option to continuously compete at different events until they’re content with their placements without penalizing teams that travel less.
Teams with the most points via online play, League Weekend LAN events, and Home Series tournaments are eligible for travel coverage and higher seed placements. Only the best team will reach the hardpoint at the end of the Call of Duty Challengers Championship Weekend Finals when the results are revealed.
