Frequenty Asked Question

Our skill-ranking algorithm analyzes all of your historical Warzone stats to place you into a division with players of a similar skill level. As time goes on and we host more tournaments with more players, the algorithm improves on its own to better rank teams.

Predator Play hosts kill race tournaments, here is a breakdown of how they work:

Enter as many public Warzone games as you want with your team during your tournament's allotted time period. Every kill you get is 1 point and additional points are awarded based on how well your team places in that game. We take the scores (kills + placement points) of your best games to determine your total score. The teams with the highest scores win the corresponding prizes. Can I make changes to my team or edit teammates after registering? As long as registration hasn't closed, you can still make changes to your team. You can view the status of and make changes to your upcoming tournament teams here: My Profile

No, you cannot change your Platform ID before the tournament if you have already registered.

You will receive an email once your team is fully registered.

Predator Play requires 100 Rebirth or Battle Royale games in order to enter the Warzone tournaments. Other game modes such as multiplayer and plunder would not count towards this requirement.

Plans change, and we get that. However, not showing up to tournaments makes the competition less fun for everyone else in your division. If you can't make it to a tournament you've registered for, unregister before registration closes for the tournament.
If you have 3 no-shows in a 7-day period, you'll only be able to register for one tournament at a time. Once you no longer have 3 no-shows in the past 7 days, your access will be restored to register for as many tournaments as you want!

Go to My Tournaments page on Predator Play profile. Select the tournament you need to withdraw from in "Upcoming tournaments". Click view details Scroll down to Unregister button Click Unregister

You are not required to stream your gameplay. Our live standings are automatically updated throughout the duration of the tournament.

Predator Play built a live scoring tracker so you don't have to submit your scores during or after the tournament. You will receive a link to your tournament's live scoring page a few minutes before your tournament begins. Scores will be updated throughout the tournament so you can see exactly how you’re performing compared to the rest of your division.

In the event of a tie, most kills across teams' top games will be used as the first tie break. The second tie break will be the number of wins across teams' top games. The third tie break will be the fewest number of games played. If teams are still tied, the prize for the position and next position will be split between teams. For clarity, if two teams are tied in p2 after accounting for points, total team kills, wins and number of games played, the prize for p2 and p3 would be split by the teams.

Please keep in mind that the scoreboard does not always update instantly. It can take up to 30 minutes after gameplay has ended to update final scores for all players. If you're seeing a scoring error, click the "Open a dispute"button on the live scoreboard and follow the steps to resolve your dispute and update your score. NOTE: The dispute window closes 1 hour after a tournament ends. You will not be able to dispute a score after this time.

On rare occasions, gameplay data doesn’t get recorded on the scoreboard. Players can provide proof of these missing matches to correct the score.

Click on the “Open dispute” button on the scoreboard. Our team will review it and correct the scoreboard as necessary. It will appear 45 minutes into the tournament, and is only visible if you’re signed in.

Each team may submit one dispute per tournament. A single player on the team will open the dispute on behalf of the entire team.

Dispute submissions close one hour after the tournament end time. After that, all undisputed scores are final.

The following is required for every dispute: Ensure your match is actually missing. ● Check that the game mode you played matches the game mode of the tournament. ● Make sure your match didn’t start before the tournament began, or after it ended. Proper evidence related to your dispute. ● Make sure your game ID is visible in all evidence for your missing match. ● We will not accept evidence that does not directly prove the account registered for the tournament has a missing match. Evidence for all teammates. ● Provide evidence for every team member if you are playing with a team.

Using these forms of evidence in your submission will reduce the chance of a rejected dispute.

For all games: Video evidence is always good. Send a link to a stream recording / clip of the disputed match with the timestamp of the match results showing the performance & placement of all team members.

For Warzone: A link to the disputed match in COD Tracker, or a screenshot of the missing match in COD Tracker.

Our team strives to close as soon as possible after the tournament ends. All score disputes will be reviewed within 24 hours of a tournament ending, with an email notice of the final decision being sent to the team member who opened it.

In order to close all tournaments & pay out winners quickly, once score disputes are reviewed and closed, the decision is final.

Please review the scoring breakdown in the streaming & scoring FAQ section to ensure that there is an actual issue with your score. If there is a scoring issue that isn’t related to a missing match, please reach out to support@predatorplay.com
