During the Saturday of each week, any player or duo could compete with others by geographic region, playing up to 10 matches to earn points through eliminations and victories. The weeks alternated between solo players and duos teams. The Fortnite World Cup had online events over 10 weeks from April to June 2019 for people to place. In Fortnite Creative, players can build unique courses at their own pace, which can be used to create competitive events that can then share with others. Players can use gathered resources to build walls, floors, and stairs and ramps to use as cover from attacks. This all must be done while avoiding attacks from other players, as well as staying within a shrinking circle on the map or risk taking fatal damage outside it. Once on the ground, players must scavenge for weapons, armor, and healing items, as well as using their pickaxe to knock down existing features to gather wood, stone, and metal resources. The main World Cup event as well as the Pro-Am use Fortnite Battle Royale, a battle royale game where up to 100 players airdrop onto an island without any weapons or armor, save for a pickaxe. The Fortnite World Cup uses two of the game modes available to the video game, Fortnite.
