Fortnite Tournament!

January 20, 2022Front, Kids, Upcoming, ProgramsSamantha Small

Got a couple Victory Royales under your belt and fancy yourself good at Fortnite? Come prove your skill at our Kingston Library Fortnite High Score Challenge Tournament!

On Saturday, February 26, 2022, we’re hosting a Fortnite High Score Challenge Tournament at the Adams Center at 33 Summer St. Kingston, MA. You can park at either the library or in the Recreation Department parking lot. Once you park, walk up the stairs to the glass building and enter through that door.

Official tournament brackets start at 10:30am and will go until 1:30 PM

Scoring

Our scoring system for Fortnite High Score is, for each drop, we will calculate a point amount for placement and +5 points per kill.

Structure

Once all players are entered into the tournament, their names are shuffled and called in order to sit down at a set up and perform a single drop. When their drop is over, the next available player is called to that set up to perform their drop. After each drop, a player’s score is recorded by a staff member and entered on our live leaderboard. Player’s will continue to perform drops in this order for the entire duration of the event, so each player will get several drops throughout the event. However, ONLY A PLAYER’S BEST SCORE will be entered on the leaderboard, so your placement on the leaderboard can only improve throughout the event.

This structure ensures that all players have an equal chance at snagging first place and can remain in the event all the way to the end.

This program is for ages 7-12. Masks are required as per the Library Board of Trustees. Registration is required!
