The "Super Smash Bros. Ultimate European Online Challenge: Winter Clash 2024," is an eagerly anticipated online competition that takes place within the Super Smash Bros. Ultimate game, exclusively available on the Nintendo Switch console. This event is hosted by Nintendo of Europe SE, based in Frankfurt am Main, Germany.
Event Period and Location
Mark your calendars for December 6th, as the fun kicks off from 18:00 to 20:00 CET (or 17:00 to 19:00 UK time). Gamers from across a wide range of countries, including Austria, Belgium, and Sweden, among others, are invited to join in. However, due to geographical constraints, players residing in far-off areas such as the Azores and Svalbard might face participation issues.
Getting Involved
Ready to dive in? Here’s what you need: a Nintendo Account linked to a country where the event is hosted—with an active Nintendo Switch Online membership, either paid or on a free trial. Ensure you have the game on your Nintendo Switch, and use your Nintendo Account to compete in at least one of the tourney matches. To jump into the action, navigate from the game’s main menu to "Online," then choose "Official Tourney Qualifiers."
Understanding Tourney Score
In these exclusive events, the Tourney score gauges each player’s prowess. This is calculated based on your performance compared to the scores of your opponents. Throughout the event, you can monitor your score in the game, striving to climb higher by playing as many matches as possible. Matches that begin during the event timeframe contribute to your score, even if they conclude a bit later.
Winners and Rewards
The top ten players with the highest Tourney scores will be rewarded with a generous 2,500 My Nintendo Gold Points each. Additionally, those who rank within the top 100 will receive 1,000 Gold Points. Avoid the rookie mistakes of changing your account’s country settings to a non-participating territory during or after the event, as it results in disqualification. Also, steer clear of exploits and foul play—these can lead to being disqualified or having your account suspended. Remember, prizes are set in stone; no swapping for cash or other goodies.
Prize Distribution
Expect your well-earned prizes to reflect in your Nintendo Account within two weeks post-event. Double-check the Gold Points in your My Nintendo Point Log.
Terms and Privacy Policy
Don’t forget, the Nintendo Account Agreement, Privacy Policy, and My Nintendo Rewards terms are all in effect. Wishing all participants the best of luck!
