How Gravity Brackets Works
Gravity Brackets is a competitive Fortnite platform where clips, matches, tournaments, and social features all feed into one another. Showcase your skills, find opponents, enter bracket tournaments, wager RP, and climb the seasonal leaderboard.
The Connected Ecosystem
Every feature feeds into the next. Clips build your reputation, matches sharpen your skills, tournaments test your competitive mettle, and the Board tracks it all.

Upload & Share Clips
Start by uploading your best Fortnite gameplay. Tag clips with techniques (building, editing, rotations) so others can find them. Your clips are your portfolio — when players see your match request or your tournament registration, they can check your clips to see if you're the real deal.

Find Matches on LFP
Post a match request with your PR, region, and game mode — or browse the board and accept someone else's. Players you follow are highlighted at the top. Your Fortnite stats (K/D, win rate) show automatically so opponents know your level. Win streaks here earn you tournament entry credits.

Enter Bracket Tournaments
Join single elimination, double elimination, or round robin tournaments. Register solo or as a duo, check in when the window opens, and compete through the bracket. Tournaments come in three tiers — user-created (1.0x RP), community-organized (1.25x RP), and official platform events (1.5x RP). Free and paid entry options available.

Stake RP on Matches
Add a wager when creating a match to put RP on the line. Both players' RP goes into escrow. Win the match, report the result, and take the pot. Wagers add real stakes to every game and fuel the competitive Board. Tournament placements also award RP with tier multipliers.

Voice & Video Call
Once matched — whether through LFP or a tournament bracket — call your partner directly in the browser with voice, video, and screen sharing. Coordinate strategies, review clips together, or just chat while you play. No Discord invite needed.

Climb the Board
Every wager win and tournament placement earns you RP and pushes you up the seasonal rankings. Progress through six tiers — Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum, Diamond, Champion. Tournament RP is multiplied by the hosting tier (1.0x user, 1.25x community, 1.5x official). Seasons reset every 8 weeks.

Qualify for the Season Championship
The top 16 RP earners each season qualify for the Season Championship — a platform-run, free-entry tournament with a 1.5x RP multiplier and a prize pool funded by 15% of all tournament rake throughout the season. This is the ultimate goal: play matches, enter tournaments, earn RP, and secure a championship slot.

Tournament Formats
Gravity Brackets supports three bracket formats. The format determines how players are eliminated, how many matches each player plays, and how long the tournament takes.

Hosting Tiers & RP Multipliers
All tournaments use the same bracket engine, registration, check-in, and match reporting. The difference is who creates them, how they are displayed, and the RP multiplier.

Tournament Lifecycle
Every tournament follows the same lifecycle from creation to completion. The host controls the flow; players register, check in, and compete.

Match Reporting & Disputes
Both players report the result. If they agree, the winner advances. If they disagree, it's a dispute. The host (or admin) resolves it. If nobody reports within 30 minutes, auto-forfeit kicks in.

Rules of Engagement
✓Report match results honestly — in both LFP wagers and tournament brackets.
✓Check in on time for tournaments. If you register, show up.
✓Keep communication respectful in chat, DMs, voice calls, and tournament lobbies.
✓Upload your own gameplay clips. No stolen content.
✓Use the block and report features if someone is harassing you.
✗Don't create alt accounts to exploit lower tiers, farm RP, or smurf in tournaments.
✗Don't falsely report match results. Your Trust Score tracks your honesty.
✗Don't collude with opponents in tournaments (intentional losses, bracket manipulation, result-fixing).
✗Don't no-show paid tournaments after bracket generation — your entry stays in the pool with no refund.
✗Don't spam match requests, DMs, or community channels.
