After each weekly FNCS Major 3 event, duos will be awarded Series Points based on their weekly results. The top 40 duos with the highest cumulative score on the Leaderboard across three weeks will qualify for the FNCS Major 3 Grand Finals.
Here is the full schedule:
| Week 1 | Three days of competition | July 20-23 |
| Week 2 | Three days of competition | July 27-30 |
| Week 3 | Three days of competition | August 3-6 |
| Grand Finals | Two days of competition | August 11-13 |
