Unique Format: What is the Smash Rule?
PMGO 2025 follows a special rule called the Smash Rule. It works like this:
- Teams must reach 80 points first.
- After hitting 80, the first team to get a Chicken Dinner will win the tournament.
- But if no one wins after reaching 80 points, then the team with the most overall points will be crowned champion.
This rule makes every match more intense, especially in the final stages.
