Day 1 schedule: Points Rush (September 26)
All 12 teams play six matches on Day 1. The Points Rush stage starts at 2:50 PM IST, and the six games are spaced 30 minutes apart.
| Match | Time (IST) |
|---|---|
| Match 1 | 2:50 PM |
| Match 2 | 3:20 PM |
| Match 3 | 3:50 PM |
| Match 4 | 4:20 PM |
| Match 5 | 4:50 PM |
| Match 6 | 5:20 PM |
Day 1 does not decide the winner. It decides who starts Day 2 with a lead. The top six teams earn head-start points:
| Day 1 finish | Head-start points |
|---|---|
| 1st | 10 |
| 2nd | 7 |
| 3rd | 5 |
| 4th | 3 |
| 5th | 2 |
| 6th | 1 |
| 7th to 12th | 0 |
Day 2 schedule: Champion Rush (September 27)
Day 2 also starts at 2:50 PM IST. This is where the champion is decided.
A team has to reach 110 points first. After that, it becomes eligible to win, and the first eligible team to get a Booyah in a later match takes the title.
In simple terms: reaching 110 points is not enough. A team at 110 must then win a full match. If it doesn’t, the games continue, and other teams can catch up.
The schedule lists up to eight matches on Day 2, but the day can end sooner once a team meets the winning condition. Fans should plan for a longer broadcast if no eligible team secures a Booyah early.
