How will it work? 

For those wondering just how this Twitch Rivals tournament is going to work, the layout is actually fairly simple. As mentioned earlier, it will be played out in the Arena mode and there will be four “distinct” contests to be played out. 

In terms of how winners will be decided, though, the description on the Sea of Thieves website breaks it down for fans to understand. 

It states: “Points will be awarded to participating crews based on their finishing position in each competition. The $100,000 prize pool will be split over the four distinct competitions, with the winners of each walking away with a cut of the cash.”
