Fortnite NFL Streamer Bowl format, rules, prizing
The 16 duos will play four matches overall with each team assigned a point-of-interest where they must land at the start of each game.

Here’s a full breakdown of the format, rules, and scoring, as provided by Twitch Rivals:
-
Streamer Bowl Overview: Hot Drop POIs Format

- Before the start of each game, teams will be given a single point-of-interest (POI) and the map coordinates where they will land
- Players will drop to and be confined to this boundary until the storm is projected to cover the area
