The “Super Smash Bros. Ultimate European Online Challenge: Winter Clash 2024” is an exciting online event for Super Smash Bros. Ultimate fans, organized by Nintendo of Europe. It’s a fantastic opportunity for players across various European countries to showcase their skills in a virtual battleground.
### Event Schedule and Participation Areas
Mark your calendars for Friday, December 6th. The heat of the competition kicks off at 18:00 and wraps up by 20:00 CET—if you’re in the UK, that’s 17:00 to 19:00. This event is open to residents across numerous countries, including Austria, Belgium, and the UK, to name just a few. However, folks living in more remote areas like the Azores might face connectivity issues, which could limit their participation.
### How to Join In
Eager to participate? Make sure you have a Nintendo Account set to one of the eligible countries. An active Nintendo Switch Online membership is also a must, but don’t worry about which type—whether it’s a trial or paid, you’re good to go. You’ll need access to Super Smash Bros. Ultimate on your Nintendo Switch, and from the game’s main menu, head over to “Online” and select “Official Tourney Qualifiers” to get started. Simply complete at least one match during the event period to be in the game.
### Touring the Tourney Scores
The Tourney score is your key to glory, serving as a gauge of your prowess in the competition. This score reflects your performance by considering your match results alongside the scores of your opponents. You can monitor your score whenever you like during the event, giving you endless opportunities to climb the ranks by playing as many matches as possible. Matches initiated within the event timeframe will count even if they finish afterward.
### Prizes and Recognition
The top 10 players with the highest Tourney scores will snag 2,500 My Nintendo Gold Points each, a delightful reward for their top-tier performance. Meanwhile, those ranking in the rest of the top 100 will each receive 1,000 Gold Points. Bear in mind, changing your account’s country setting to a non-participating country or engaging in cheating tactics can lead to disqualification. Such behavior could even result in your Nintendo Account being suspended. Prizes are strictly non-transferable, and there aren’t any cash alternatives available.
### Receiving Your Prize
Nintendo ensures a smooth prize delivery to the winners’ Nintendo Account within two weeks after the event concludes. If you’re among the fortunate winners, just check the My Nintendo Point Log to confirm your receipt.
### Important Considerations
Remember, using your Nintendo Account means you agree to the Nintendo Account Agreement, Privacy Policy, and the My Nintendo Rewards Programme terms. These policies set the foundations for an enjoyable and fair competition for all participants.
Best of luck, competitors! May your skills shine bright in the Winter Clash!
