The first official BGMI tournament of the 2022 circuit will see its registrations starting soon due to a slight delay, with BGMI shotcaster Ocean Sharma confirming that BMOC registration would be taking place from 14^th to 27^th March.

BMOC 2022 will kick off with all the registered BGMI teams battling through the open qualifiers from the end of March, with the top 512 teams proceeding to the next round.

From here on the number of competing teams will keep getting halved with every passing stage, until the number of teams drop down from 512 to 32.

At this stage, 32 invited teams will go against the 32 qualified teams following a round-robin format and only half of them will move on to the next stage which is nothing but BMPS Season 1.

The 32 teams that qualify through the BMOC 2022 will compete in this tournament following a round-robin format and only 16 will make their way to the grand finals.

These 16 teams will then compete for a massive total prize pool of INR 2,00,00,000 which is the maximum prize pool for a single esports tournament in the country so far. The winning BGMI team will be walking away with a lion's share of INR 75,00,000.
