Nevernight by Jay Kristoff
Not going to lie, I had some trouble with this one. I think it may have been a bit overhyped. For the hype it received, I was expecting more.

For the battles you win, you gain points but those points come from your opponent who just lost. If you lose all your points, you can never again enter Brain Burst. Obviously the players want to avoid loosing all their points.
