Rust Tournament — $100 Cash Showdown
One wipe, six hours, winner takes all
No brackets to grind and no group stage. Every registered team plays the same wipe at the same time, points bank live on the Red Zone leaderboard, and whoever is top of the leaderboard when the clock stops takes the cash.

One server, one leaderboard
There are no brackets. Solos, duos and trios all play the same wipe and appear on the same leaderboard — team size is a choice about how you want to play, not a division you are placed into.
Solo
Nobody to carry and nobody to cover you. Hardest way to hold zone time.
Duo
Enough to trade fights and still bank points while one of you farms.
Trio
The largest roster allowed. Best raid throughput, most contested.
How points are scored
Tracked live for the whole session. Nothing is awarded afterwards and nothing carries over from a previous wipe.
Time in the Red Zone
Holding ground inside the marked zone banks points for as long as you stay alive in it. It is the most reliable way to score and the most contested.
Kills
Eliminating players scores. Deaths hurt your K/D, so trading badly costs you more than sitting a fight out.
Successful raids
Breaking another team's main tool cupboard. That is what counts as a raid — not a door, not an outer wall. The biggest single swing available and the biggest risk.
Bradley & Attack Helicopter
Taking down the Bradley APC at Launch Site or the patrol helicopter both bank points. Contested by definition.
What does not score
- Team-kills score nothing.
- Raiding your own team's base scores nothing.
- Team-mates — official or informal — cannot farm points off each other. We track who plays together.
- Alliances between teams are not a strategy, they are a disqualification.
The server
Tuned so a six-hour session is long enough to build, arm and raid — not just farm.
The Red Zone
A marked zone with a bonus multiplier on every node inside it — crates are not boosted — plus cheaper explosive crafting while you hold ground there. It is where the tournament is won.
Double everything
Double gather and double loot across the board, so a six-hour session is long enough to build, arm and raid.
Fair play tracking
Anti-cheat plus leaderboard tracking that catches team-kill farming, self-raiding, and informal teams feeding each other points.
$10 every week
Top of the Red Zone leaderboard each week takes a $10 cash giveaway, tournament or no tournament.
