If you are fond of playing Battlegrounds Mobile India (BGMI), previously known as PUBG Mobile India, then you are at the right place to get the update on the newly introduced Points Table and Point System.
What’s New in the BGMI Points Table System?
BGMI has been evolving over time since it gained a lot of popularity in India after the ban of the famous battleground game PUBG.
But with the evolution, it is necessary to keep up with the competitive nature of the battleground ensuring fairness and consistency across all formats.
The BGIS 2025 has a new points system, which is being used to rank the teams so that it aligns with the international standard, especially PUBG Mobile esports tournaments.
Revised Scoring Criteria
The new points system announced by BGMI puts a huge emphasis on the performance and the strategies that are consistent throughout the game.
Earlier, the gameplay was solely focused on the kill counts, which didn’t encourage the players to be creative and try out new techniques.
Similarly, the teams that focus on displaying all-around performance will be rewarded with more points.

- Placement Point
The new scoring structure is set to favour the teams that are consistently ranking higher in the top position and will be rewarded the most, rather than giving priority to those who have inconsistent performance.
| Placement | Points |
| 1st place | 10 points |
| 2nd place | 6 points |
| 3rd place | 5 points |
| 4th place | 4 points |
| 5th place | 3 points |
| 6th place | 2 points |
| 7th and 8th place | 1 point |
| 9th to 16th place | 0 points |
- Elimination Points
Despite elimination playing a crucial role in the overall score of the team, the points per kill have been reduced to encourage players to pay attention to offensive and defensive strategy rather than just approaching with an aggressive game style.
This change can shift the entire momentum of the gameplay since the players are almost always determined to get the kill for extra points.
- Bonus Points
An additional layer of incentive for teams to excel, called bonus points, can be achieved through various milestones such as “Chicken Dinner”, a high kill-to-death ratio (K/D), and completing in-game objectives or milestones.
Talking about the differences between LAN Events and Online Qualifiers, the teams are often seen playing cautiously and conservatively to secure higher placements. However, the point distribution remains the same for these.
In major BGIS Finals, the point distribution is majorly influenced by placement and kill points. However, additional or bonus points are awarded to the team for the highest number of kills, Chicken dinner, or completing a special milestone within the game.
Along with the above-mentioned tournaments, the core point system in Rising Series or Masters is the same as others, giving priority to those who aim to showcase critical and meaningful gameplay.
What’s the Impact of the New Point System?
There is speculation that the new point structure is set to kill the essence of what BGMI has been carrying over the years.
- Team Strategies
While the updated point system has given emphasis on the team’s strategies and performance, the teams are likely to shift their play style from being aggressive to more composed, showing consistency for better placement in the points table.
The shift might drastically change the dominance of certain teams as new teams balancing aggression and steadiness might emerge.
- Competitiveness
The larger the point gaps between the top finishing teams and lower-ranked teams, the pressure to play best at the highest level will be seen among the teams.
This eventually motivates teams to invest in the skill development of players so they can outclass others at major tournaments.
- Engagement
Although the new points system might be frustrating to professional players, it is certain that audience engagement will increase over time as they are mostly invested in highly competitive matches.
The organizers can capitalize on the new wave through different interactive content, like real-time point tracking, post-match analysis, and many more.
