⚔️ The “Smash Rule” Explained
A thrilling twist designed for maximum intensity:
After Day 2, the top team’s total points + 10 bonus points set the Match Point threshold
Once a team reaches this threshold, they become “Match Point Eligible”
To secure the championship, they need to bag a Winner Winner Chicken Dinner (WWCD) in subsequent matches
If no WWCD is earned within the allotted matches, the team with the highest total points takes the crown.
This hybrid rule rewards consistency and peak performance, ensuring a nail-biting finish.
