Welcome to the “Super Smash Bros. Ultimate European Online Challenge: Winter Clash 2024,” a thrilling online competition hosted within the beloved Nintendo Switch game, Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. This event is brought to life by Nintendo of Europe SE, headquartered in Frankfurt am Main, Germany.
Mark your calendars for a gaming showdown on Friday, December 6th, from 18:00 to 20:00 (CET) / 17:00 to 19:00 (UK time). Designed for residents across numerous European countries ranging from Austria to the United Kingdom, this event unites players from varied backgrounds. To maintain a seamless gaming experience, some regions far from central Europe, like the Azores and Svalbard, might face participation restrictions.
Jumping into the competition is straightforward. First, ensure your Nintendo Account is set with a country listed for this event. You’ll also need an active Nintendo Switch Online membership—whether paid or a free trial works just fine. Once set, dive into the action by accessing the game on your Nintendo Switch. Navigate to the “Online” section from the main menu and select “Official Tourney Qualifiers” to kick off your participation.
Now, let’s talk about scoring. The Tourney score is a feature created for these special events, reflecting a player’s skill based on their match outcomes and the opponents they face. You can check your score anytime in the game, striving to climb higher by playing as many matches as possible within the event’s duration. Remember, any match beginning during the event will count towards your score, even if it wraps up afterward.
What’s at stake? The top 10 players boasting the highest scores will earn 2,500 My Nintendo Gold Points each. Meanwhile, those in the remaining top 100 positions will receive 1,000 Gold Points each. Be aware, though—changing your country setting or engaging in any form of misconduct, as highlighted in Nintendo’s Code of Conduct, can lead to disqualification and potential account suspension.
Prizes are exclusively awarded to winners and cannot be exchanged for cash. They’ll be delivered directly to the winners’ Nintendo Accounts within two weeks post-event. You can verify the arrival of your Gold Points via the My Nintendo Point Log.
As you gear up for this exciting challenge, remember that Nintendo’s rules and privacy terms are in full effect. Best of luck to all participants, and may the best players triumph!
