4. Smash Rule Explained
The Smash Rule (also known as Match Point format) is used in the PMGC Grand Finals to create dramatic championship moments.
How Smash Rule Works:
- Accumulate Points: Teams play matches and accumulate points normally
- Match Point Threshold: Once a team reaches the required point threshold, they become "Match Point Eligible"
- Win to Smash: An eligible team must then win a match (WWCD) to become champions
- Multiple Eligible Teams: If several teams are eligible, whoever wins first becomes champion
This format creates intense pressure and exciting finishes, as teams must balance point accumulation with the ability to clutch a final victory.
