BGIS 2026 In-Game Qualifier Rules- Complete Guide For beginners 

Dream of the big stage? The BGIS 2026 is your proving ground. With thousands of teams competing for limited spots, understanding the rules is just as important as your aim. We simplified all the official regulations into a gamer-friendly guide, helping you prepare your team properly and dodge the disqualification traps that catch so many others.

What is BGIS In-Game Qualifier?

BGIS In-Game Qualifier is the first official round of the Battlegrounds Mobile India Series organized by Krafton. Instead teams play ranked classic matches inside BGMI during a fixed time period. Based on their performance, the top teams qualify for Round 1 of BGIS.

It is open to everyone, so whether you are a casual squad or a rising esports team, this is your chance to enter the pro scene.

1. Match Mode Rules

To make your matches count in BGIS IGQ, you must follow these rules:

• You must play Ranked Classic Mode

• Only TPP (Third Person Perspective)  matches are allowed

• FPP, unranked, or themed modes do not count

Allowed Maps

• BGIS 2026 – Only Erangel and Miramar

If you play on any other map like Rondo or Livik (in 2026), those matches will not be counted in your BGIS score.

2. Number of Matches & Scoring System

Each registered team must play: 15 Ranked Classic matches

Out of these 15 games, only the best 10 matches will be used to calculate your final BGIS score.

Points System (Example – 2026)

Placement Points

1st - (Chicken Dinner) 10

2nd - 6

3rd - 5

4th - 4

5th - 3

6th - 2

7th–8th -1

9th–16th - 0

Additionally, 1 point is awarded for each kill.

This means you must focus on both survival and eliminations. Camping only for placement is not enough, and rushing blindly for kills is also risky.

3. Team Rules

Your BGIS team must follow these conditions:

• The squad must contain only registered players

Usually 4 main players

• No substitutes allowed during IGQ matches

If any unregistered player joins, that match will be disqualified

• So before starting, make sure all your teammates are properly registered.

5. Device Rules

BGIS is a mobile-only tournament.

❌ Not allowed:

• Emulators

• Tablets

• PC

• External controllers

✔ Only mobile phones are allowed.

If Krafton finds emulator or controller usage, your team will be banned.

6. In-Game Name (IGN) Rules

Your IGN should follow the official format:

TEAMNAMEPLAYERNAME

Example: RNTXScout, GodlJonathan

Offensive, abusive, or fake team names can lead to penalties or disqualification.

7. Recording Rules (Very Important)

In recent BGIS seasons, Krafton has made recording compulsory.

✅ Each team must:

• Record in-game screen (Best Screen Recorder)

• Record hand-cam (showing player’s hands & device)

These videos must be uploaded to:

• YouTube (Unlisted) or

• Google Drive

Usually within 8 hours after playing matches.

If you fail to provide recordings:

• Points can be deducted

• Or your matches may be cancelled

So always keep recording ON before starting your IGQ matches.

8. Time Window Rule

All 15 matches must be played inside the official BGIS In-Game Qualifier dates.

Any match played before or after the given dates will not count.

9. Qualification to Next Round

After all teams finish their 15 matches:

• Krafton calculates scores from best 10 games

• The top 1000+ teams (around 1016) qualify for BGIS Round 1

Only these teams move forward in the tournament.

10. Tie-Breaker Rules

If two teams have the same points, ranking is decided by:

1. Number of Chicken Dinners

2. Higher placements

3. Survival time

4. Accuracy or other performance stats

So consistency is very important.
