Format

Streamers will have two hours to complete a series of puzzle challenges and fight to stay at the top of the leaderboards in 5-minute Puzzle Rush, Puzzle Survival, and Puzzle Battle. Like in the previous edition of CPQ, there will be no rating categories for this event.

Bingo Format

• Bounties are presented in the form of a "bingo card."
• Each square of the bingo card contains a challenge.
• Players must complete a horizontal, vertical, or diagonal line to claim bingo.
• This event has a total of 70 bingos, with each bingo worth 20 subs.

Bounty Rules And Details

• Please note that only Twitch streamers are eligible to win prizes.
• The bingo card is a 5x5 grid, with 24 bounties and one free cell in the middle.
• Players must complete a Google Form containing proof that they completed enough bounties to claim bingo. They don't need to clip proof in real-time.
• Participants have up to 48 hours to fill out the Google Form and claim their bounties.
• Any type of proof is acceptable as long as it clearly shows the bounty the player completed the bounties.
• If the proof a player sends fails to prove they completed a bounty, we will not accept the bounty. After we decide to disqualify a bounty, we will not accept any further proof from the player that they have completed the bounty.
• Chess.com's staff will provide a new account for each participant.
• If more than 70 bingos are claimed, the 5-minute Puzzle Rush daily leaderboard will serve as the tiebreaker.
