- Only PC players can participate in the event.
- Participants must be 16 years or older.

The Apex Legends Nessie Cup will feature unique challenges
The main highlight of the Nessie Cup is that it will feature unique challenges for participants and isn't your usual Apex Legends tournament. These challenges include:
- Trios No Weapons: Participants will play melee and abilities only
- Apex Legends™ Mini Games: Win a series of mini BR / Mixtape challenges to advance
- Random Royale: Participants will be jostled around across different teams so that each team is different for each match
- Wattson Punch-Out: Players have to kill the Wattson character on the other team via punching
They certainly seem like interesting challenges, though Wattson may not enjoy being the punching bag that often.
