Additional details on how to compete
ACGL has explained exactly how you can compete, and how the PUBG Mobile Duos Cup will work. Check out the info below, which is especially important for those who’ve never joined an ACGL tournament.
If you have a profile on the site, log in and sign your team up to your preferred qualifier. If you are new to the site, you can register with us for free. Ensure you and your teammate have formed a team on the site, sign up and you’re ready for the day.
On the day of your tournament, remember to log in to the site and ‘check-in’ for the tournament during the hour before matches are scheduled to start. Please make sure both you and your duo check-in. Failing to do so will mean our admin team do not know you are online and ready to play.
Once check-in closes, the admin team will assign rooms. The number of rooms will be determined by the number of checked-in participants. Each room will, however, host a maximum of 46 duo teams. You will find your room details on the match page. Join the lobby and get ready for the jump.
You must submit your duo’s scores via the results tab to ensure your placings and eliminations are tracked. Please ensure you take a screenshot displaying the kill score and placement in case of any match result disputes. Failure to do so will see you penalised in the round played.
Tournament support is via Discord and the match page. You can also find additional information on the respective tournament pages.
