'Tournaments' Are Coming To 'Fortnite' Tomorrow: Here's What You Need To Know

Epic Games has announced that new in-game Tournaments will be coming to Fortnite: Battle Royale beginning tomorrow, October 16th.

There will be a new Events section in the game's menu which will allow you to access the Tournaments. Unlike major eSports events, these in-game Tournaments will be available to everyone.

That means all you have to do is join a Tournament to start competing in order to win a shiny pin. According to Epic, winning said shiny pin in the future will open up new Tournaments to compete in.

Here's how these Tournaments work:

Anyone can join. As you play, you'll be matched with players of a similar skill level depending on your performance. That means that if you do well, you'll move up to tougher competition and if you do poorly, it should get a little easier as you progress.
Epic is not separating players with different controller inputs. This means that you may find yourself competing against mouse-and-keyboard users as well as touchscreen gamers while you roll with a PS4 gamepad.
There will be different types of Tournaments based on the date and day of the week (see below.)

That's all pretty straightforward, though I'm honestly not sure about placing all these different types of controllers in the same tourney. Touchscreen vs mouse-and-keyboard is hardly fair. The controller is a bit more competitive, but only at very high skill levels.

In any case, here's the full schedule of the Tournaments for the rest of 2018:

Alpha Tournament (Solo)
- Dates: October 16 - October 21
- Description: Participate in the first in-game tournament, spanning across several days of daily competition!

Beta Tournament (Duo)
- Dates: October 23 - October 25
- Description: Grab a friend and take on the world - until you are the last two left.

Friday Night Fortnite (Squad)
- Dates: October 19 - November 30
- Description: Join your friends every Friday and kick off your weekend with some exciting Squad action.

Salty Springs Cup (Solo)
- Dates: October 27 - October 31
- Description: One week and three attempts to prove you're the saltiest that Salty Springs has to offer.

Tomato Temple Cup (Duo)
- Dates: October 28 - November 1
- Description: Become legends of the Tomato Temple Cup.

Epic Games also notes:

Over the next few months, we’ll be continuing to develop the tournaments feature to allow for events to occur across multiple rounds, requiring players to have earned a pin to qualify for each subsequent round.
We’re working toward establishing an exciting and varied schedule of tournaments for players of all talent levels, featuring new scoring formats and support for additional modes.
Beginning later this year, all eligible players will have the opportunity to qualify for the 2019 Fortnite World Cup directly through a ‘Showdown Royale’ event hosted using the in-game tournament system.

All told, this should be a fun way for more people to get involved with the competitive Fortnite play, similar to the various Showdown modes we've seen in the past. Even if you're not the best player out there---and most of us aren't!---this can be a good way to test your mettle and have some fun without too much pressure on the line.
