Below is a list of changes that are being made for the Roulette Rivals World Championship 2026. This list may not be exhaustive, so it is recommended to still read over the full list of rules.
The match lengths for this year's RRWC have been increased all around:
Group Stage: Play-all-4
KO WB 1-3 & LB 1-5: First-to-8
KO WB 4-Finals & LB 6-Finals: First-to-10
KO Grand Final: First-to-12
The map reset that previously happened before the LB Final will now take place between the shift from Ft8 to Ft10.
Additionally, the pick and ban formats for the following match lengths have been added/changed:
Play-all-4 (new): 2 picks each
First-to-8/10: 1 additional ban each after the first pick (2 bans, 2 picks each)
The order in which maps are picked and banned have also been adjusted to account for these changes. The full details of these can be found on the RRWC format page.
The condition Smother in Cake for Jordan Cross has been banned, due to inconsistencies in the relevant target trigger.
Note: This change was already made while RR20 was ongoing.
It was discovered that despite it being advertised as such, the In-flu-ential Duck is not time-limited and has therefore been unbanned.
