Basically PWC is more or less adopting SROs Blancpain sprint rules for the sprint-X rounds. Importantly though, the PRO-PRO class in the PWC version does not feature the minimum pit stop times that the SRO series uses. With no fueling necessary during the pit, the teams execution of the tire and driver change will be absolutely critical.
