📡 Enter the Showdown
Sign up with your callsign. You must have at least one FT8BR QSO to enter. Top 16 by current rank get the bracket spots.
How It Works
- Race format: First player to log 7 QSOs within the round wins and advances.
- Round clock: Each match has 12 minutes. If time expires, higher count wins. Tied → sudden death (next QSO wins).
- What counts: Any FT8/FT4 QSO logged to FT8 Battle Royale during the match window — your normal setup, no special config.
- Seeding: Top players by current FT8BR rank rating get the bracket spots; standard tournament seeding (1 vs 16, 8 vs 9, etc).
- Regular game keeps running: QSOs you log during the tournament still count toward your normal FT8BR points, division standings, and season totals.
